how to show page number in jasper report - jasper-reports

Question

How we can show the current page number in jasper sub report ? i have done for only first page with variable like this $V{PAGE_NUMBER} and "("+$V{PAGE_COUNT}+")" but how we can show in all sub reports ?

Answer 1

you have to use page footer band for that,
set the $V{PAGE_NUMBER}'s print when expression to "REPORT" when you have to display total pages and,
$V{PAGE_NUMBER}'s print when expression to "NOW" when you have to display current page number.
TRY This
<pageFooter>
<band height="22" splitType="Stretch">
<textField pattern="M/d/yy h:mm a">
<reportElement x="580" y="0" width="220" height="20" uuid="941d5c67-e986-4d5b-ba7e-2754f065e008"/>
<box padding="3"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Right" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font fontName="SansSerif" size="8"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Printed on : "+new java.util.Date()]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
<textField>
<reportElement x="280" y="1" width="200" height="20" uuid="afe76ecf-00e9-4d52-a00b-44d38dc3aa65"/>
<box padding="3"/>
<textElement textAlignment="Center" verticalAlignment="Middle">
<font fontName="SansSerif" size="8" isBold="true"/>
</textElement>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["Page "+$V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</pageFooter>

Follow the below pattern , it should work.
<jasperReport>
<title>
</title>
<detail>
//Here goes all subreports
</detail>
<pageFooter>
<textField evaluationTime="Report">
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA[" " + $V{PAGE_NUMBER}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</pageFooter>
</jasperReport>
