Code: Select all

import com.sun.star.beans.PropertyVetoException;
import com.sun.star.beans.UnknownPropertyException;
import com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet;
import com.sun.star.container.NoSuchElementException;
import com.sun.star.container.XNameAccess;
import com.sun.star.container.XNameContainer;
import com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException;
import com.sun.star.lang.WrappedTargetException;
import com.sun.star.style.XStyle;
import com.sun.star.style.XStyleFamiliesSupplier;
import com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException;
import com.sun.star.uno.UnoRuntime;
import com.sun.star.uno.XComponentContext;

public static void snippet(XComponentContext xComponentContext, Object oInitialTarget)
{
	try
	{
		XStyleFamiliesSupplier xStyleFamiliesSupplier = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
			XStyleFamiliesSupplier.class, oInitialTarget);
		XNameAccess xNameAccess = xStyleFamiliesSupplier.getStyleFamilies();
		
		XNameContainer xNameContainer = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
			XNameContainer.class, xNameAccess.getByName("PageStyles"));
		
		XNameAccess xNameAccess2 = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
			XNameAccess.class, xNameContainer);
		XStyle xStyle = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
			XStyle.class, xNameAccess2.getByName("Standard"));
		
		XPropertySet xPropSet = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
			XPropertySet.class, xStyle);
		xPropSet.setPropertyValue("FooterIsOn", true);
		
	}
	catch (IllegalArgumentException e1)
	{
		// setPropertyValue
		e1.printStackTrace();
	}
	catch (PropertyVetoException e2)
	{
		// setPropertyValue
		e2.printStackTrace();
	}
	catch (WrappedTargetException e3)
	{
		// getByName, setPropertyValue
		e3.printStackTrace();
	}
	catch (UnknownPropertyException e4)
	{
		// setPropertyValue
		e4.printStackTrace();
	}
	catch (NoSuchElementException e5)
	{
		// getByName
		e5.printStackTrace();
	}
	catch (RuntimeException e6)
	{
		// getByName
		e6.printStackTrace();
	}
}

Here is a note on how to turn off Headers/Footers in OpenOffice using Java. Turning them on should be a simple change to the code.

I am looking for these two packages but I don't have idea how to implement.
Please suggest:

1) "com.sun.star.text.XHeaderFooter" and
2) "com.sun.star.text.XHeaderFooterPageStyle"

Both now deprecated.

Your project - you must do the work.

Have you look at Andrew Davison's book titled "Java LibreOffice Programming"?

Added Header/Footer properly but Right/Left Header/Footer still not working.
I am using "HeaderTextRight" and "HeaderTextLeft".


please help...

First you have to do it manually so you understand the concept of page styles. Then you may be able to do it programatically or drop this approach and work with templates.
