I am doing an online course in Java. Mainly for Windows Applications using Eclipse.In the course that I m doing the Instructor has said that most Java programmers dont bother with GUI builders and tend to hand code everyhing. Is this correct? I ask because my previous language I made good use of a GUI builder due to its ease and speed.
Is this because the code is more stable than the generated code offered by GUI builders in Java or is it just better to have full control and to gain a better understanding on how it all works with the layout managers?
I want to include JavaFX in my Eclipse IDE. I found intructions on how to import JavaFX Screen Builder into Eclipse 4.4 but my version is 4.2.2
I noticed that JavaFX is included into Java JDK now, I have installed Java JDK 8_45
The info on the oracle java pages is telling me i have to install JavaFX Screen Builder 2 before installing the plugin.
So, how to i proceed ???
I tried to inport e(fx)clipse plugin 1.2 and 0.9 but both refuses to install. Messages received as follows:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: e(fx)clipse - IDE - FXML 1.2.0.201501301049 (org.eclipse.fx.ide.fxml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.201501301049) Missing requirement: JavaFX Preview 1.2.0.201501301049 (org.eclipse.fx.ide.ui.preview 1.2.0.201501301049) requires 'bundle com.google.inject 2.0.0' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: e(fx)clipse - IDE - FXML 1.2.0.201501301049 (org.eclipse.fx.ide.fxml.feature.feature.group 1.2.0.201501301049) To: org.eclipse.fx.ide.ui.preview [1.2.0.201501301049]
I'm trying to get my components to align in the proper position but I'm having no luck what so ever. I have my code and I've attached an image of my window builder.
I am new to javafx and my goal is to basically just test if my java code works with Mysql. What I'm planning to do is to display one data of the sakila database into a Label named greetingLabel. And I can't seem to find where i went wrong so i'll show you my whole code.
Here is the main code for my controller class from scene builder:
Here is the error displayed when pressing the button
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader$MethodHandler.invoke(Unknown Source) at javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader$ControllerMethodEventHandler.handle(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javafx.event.CompositeEventHandler.dispatchBubblingEvent(Unknown Source)
I want build to build a website buider in java that contains drag & drop functionality for editing templates of websitesI need to build a replica of the site URL....I want to know what framework would i use for building this in java whether it shuold be swings,awt or some other i need to integerate in java like flex or something.how to get started with this.
I am writing a ComputerBaseTest application with Netbeans. I have each question on a panel and I want the questions(panels) to be switched, viewing the previous and the next question on a single frame, but I do not know how.
I only understand frame switching if each questn is to be on a frame but each score on each question (frame) do not sum up to give the overall score at the end of the test. Using multi-frame shows a sign of bad programming.
I think this might be the reason as this comboBox is not recognized at the import to the scene builder library. I can show up the import dialog of custom controls, but my custom ComboBox is not showing up. All other implementations are there correctly as they are loaded from my customControl.jar file
I use the ComboBoxListViewSkin for the functionality to scroll to an item in the combo as a user types a letter on the keyboard.
I do this by:
/** * This method scrolls the itemView of the items to the first item starting * with the given char or string * * @param pressedKey */ public void scrollToChar(String pressedKey) { String value = pressedKey.toUpperCase(); for (Object userEntry : getItems()) {
[Code] ....
I really need to show up my custom Combo in the scenebuilder, as otherwise the rest of my fxml is not editable in sceneBuilder 2.0 ....
The idea is pretty simple; extend StackPane, add an active property, bind the visible and managed properties of the pane to the active property, and, whenever the active property is changed to true, iterate sibling nodes de-activating any siblings that are also of the type Card.
However, this doesn't work with Scene Builder. While trying to debug, I created an ExtStackPane:
import javafx.collections.ListChangeListener; import javafx.scene.Node; import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane; public class ExtStackPane extends StackPane { { getChildren().addListener((ListChangeListener<Node>) c -> { System.out.println("ExtStackPane children change: " + c.toString()); }); } }
All this does is log list change events. However, I was very surprised by the output when working in Scene Builder. I added both controls to Scene Builder and did the following:
0) Added an ExtStackPane 1) Added a Card to the ExtStackPane 2) Added another Card to the ExtStackPane 3) Added a Label to the first Card 4) Added a Label to the second Card 5) Changed the text of the first Label to Hello 6) Changed the text of the second Label to World 7) Set the first Card to active 8) Set the second Card to active
I get the following output:
1) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@5b9067b3] added at 0 }
2) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6b6328bd] added at 0 } ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6aca8cc5] added at 1 }
[Code] ....
This is what things look like in Scene Builder:
Does Scene Builder recreate the entire hierarchy every time I make a small change? Here's an application that does the same as the manual steps I performed in Scene Builder:
import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Label; import javafx.stage.Stage; public class CardApplication extends Application {
[Code] ....
The output when running the above is:
1) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6dfaa767] added at 0 }
2) ExtStackPane children change: { [Card@6aa2c411] added at 1 }
[Code] ....
The behavior is obviously a lot different than when I'm working with the control in Scene Builder. What Scene Builder is doing to change the behavior of my Card control so much? Does my Card control break some rule(s) I'm not aware of?
I'm using Scene Builder 2.0 and have added an ImageView to the parent AnchorPane. I've added my PNG files for the app icon and the various buttons. I select the ImageView in Scene Builder and then crawl the filesystem to the project package folder and select the PNG for the Image. The assigned image is displayed in the Imageview in Scene Builder in both design mode and Preview mode.
While everything else shows up properly when the app is executed, the image assigned to the ImageView does not display.
