JavaFX 2.0 :: Multiple Scene And Passing Variables With FXML Files

Mar 21, 2015

Lets say I have a desire to convert and entered value to Centigrade or Fahrenheit and that I have two Radio Buttons to designate the type of conversion with the Answer posted to a TextField on Scene Two from a button click event on Scene One ok Now I would like to convert the value in the TextField on Scene Two to Kelvin and reflect the value on Scene Three in a TextField by clicking a button on Scene Two
 
lets say  I have 4 FXML files sceneONE sceneTWO and scenMain and I created 4 controllers ControllerONE and MasterController

So far I can navigate to the different scens with just the MasterController code below...

BUT because I have two FXML files I can not capture the value in the first FXML file and pass it to the second scene
 
This project is my attempt to adapt the FXML style code from this web site

Switching to Different Screens in JavaFX and FXML | JavaFXTutorials

Which uses this code to switch scenes

    //get reference to the button's stage                stage=(Stage) btnS1.getScene().getWindow();
       //load up OTHER FXML document
       root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("ATTwo.fxml"));

But will not permit variable transfer due to scope of variables which reside in two different FXML files
 
public class MasterController implements Initializable{@FXML public Button btnS1;
@FXML public Button btnS2;
@FXML public Label lblS1;
@FXML public Label lblS2;
@FXML public TextField txfS1;
@FXML public TextField txfS2;
@FXML public AnchorPane root;

[Code] .....

JavaFX 2.0 :: Variables With Multiple FXML Files

Mar 31, 2015

I have a multi scene JavaFX FXML application [URL] ....
 
I have added a TextField to Scene2.fxml and Scene3.fxml files each scene has its own Controller Class with a ScreensController class that loads a HashMap with Id name, Node screen that is defined in the ScreensFramework

class (Main class)
public void addScreen(String name, Node screen) {screens.put(name, screen);}

So each time you click a Button on a screen (scene) you fire an ActionEvent and move to another screen

myController.setScreen(ScreensFramework.screen2ID); 

What I would like to do if it is possible is use the value in the TextField on Sceen2 and transfer it to the TextField on Scene3. I have discovered that unless both FXML files are loaded this is so far not possible. This is a desktop application. So how do you create a variable that is GLOBAL and has a life after one class is unloaded or one FXML file is unloaded?

At this point I do not want a database to accomplish this task.I have developed in Visual Basic 6 where I would just declare a global variable that could be used through out the application.

JavaFX - How To Open Multiple FXML Windows

Jun 2, 2014

I'm making a tic tac toe program. Currently I have a welcome screen for my tic tac toe game, once the button is clicked I want the main game to open. I have created two FXML VBox windows created from JavaFX Scene Builder. I want to know how to close the welcome menu and launch the 2nd FXML window.

This 2nd FXML window will have it's own controller where the tic tac toe calculations will be held.

Here is the event listener on when the mouse action is performed on the button

@FXML
private void startGame(ActionEvent event) {
}

JavaFX 2.0 :: Scene Not Laying Out Properly

Mar 12, 2015

Have have just started working with JavaFX and SceneBuilder having been a long time Swing developer.
 
My first foray into the world of JavaFX involves building a rather simple desktop application to parse text based log files with regular expressions.
 
Currently I am working on the main window for this application.  I built a scene in SceneBuilder using a BorderPane for my root.
 
I placed a TitledPane which contains a TableView in the center section of the BorderPane and a VBox which contains several Buttons in the right section of the BorderPane.  When I view the layout in SceneBuilder using the Preview menu item to show the preview in a Window, SceneBuilder shows the scene laid out exactly as it is in the work are and as I would like it laid out.
 
When I close SceneBuilder and go back to my IDE (Eclipse) and build and run the application the scene is displayed in a window differently than in SceneBuilder preview.  When the application executes the scene is laid out as if there has been something placed in the top section of the BorderPane, the TitledPane containing the TableView is centered in the window and the VBox containing the buttons are not aligned with the top of the TitledPane containing the TableView because it is as if there is a "null control" in the top section of the BorderPane.
 
Why is there a difference in the way SceneBuilder displays the scene and the way the executed application displays the scene?
 
Also, I recently made some changes to the layout of the controls in SceneBuilder (e.g. changed some padding and location of some controls in their containers and again the scene looks perfect in SceneBuilder but when I execute the application now some components in the container where I made the changes are truncated when the scene is displayed when the application executes.
 
It is almost as if SceneBuilder is interpreting the FXML one way and the JavaFX API during run time is interpreting the FXML another way.

JavaFX 2.0 :: Set Busy Cursor For A Scene

May 15, 2014

My problem is simple. Just set busy cursor on a scene. The scenarios is like this: I have simple application with a button on it. When I click the button, I will:

1. Set mouse cursor to BUSY
2. Do some work
3. Set mouse cursor back to DEFAULT.
 
I search the web and found some sample codes to set cursor. But they don't satisfy my need. So I wrote a simple application:
 
public class MainFormApp extends Application {
  @Override
  public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
       stage.initStyle(StageStyle.DECORATED);
        Pane root = new Pane();
        root.setPrefSize(500, 300);
        Button btn = new Button("Click me");       

[Code] ....
 
When I run application and click the button, cursor does not change to BUSY. I also tried to use Platform.runLater() but no luck.

JavaFX 2.0 :: Access Scene Graph Data From EDT

May 11, 2014

I have following methods, which I call from the Event Dispatcher Thread:
 
public void setTitle(String title) {       
Platform.runLater(() -> stage.setTitle(title));}   
public String getTitle() {       
return stage.getTitle(); // <- Access from outside JFX App Thread ok?} 

Is it thread-safe, when the getter-Method just return the value like the example show? Or must I create a Runnable, so stage.getTitle() is called inside the Java Application Thread? How I return the value then?

JavaFX 2.0 :: Bi Directional Binding In FXML

May 13, 2014

We are currently doing the bi directional property binding in the java code, but it would be nice to declare those bindings at the point where the UI Controls are created, ie in our FXML files.
 
I understand bi-directional binding of the form
 
value="#{controller.path.propertyName}" was removed from JavaFX 2.1
 
Will it be put  back in 2.2?

JavaFX 2.0 :: How To Access FXML Controller

I used the SceneBuilder to create an applications and it works quite well. Now I got a problem to set the pref. size of a ScrollPane to the size of the app.

I want to install a binding between the scroll pane's pref. size and the stage's pref. size. Since the scroll pane field reside in the FXMLController class I need a way to access this field.

JavaFX 2.0 :: FXML Binding On Superclass

onAction="#salva" prefHeight="57.0" prefWidth="141.0" styleClass="text-bold" text="Salva" />
 
Controller is my controller that extends another class from which it inherits busy property.

I see that fxmlloader only looks into the bottom class and not in superclasses, don't know if it's voluntarily or a bug.

JavaFX 2.0 :: How To Generate Import Tag In FXML File

Jul 16, 2014

Whenever I use a control inside an .fxml file like:
 
<Label></Label>, <TableView></TableView>, etcera ...
 
I get an exception for example:
 
Label is not a valid type., TableView is not a valid Type., etcera
 
This exception I then solve with placing an import tag inside the .fxml file.
 
However as I do not know each import name, I have to look this up like writing down:
 
Label label = new Label();
 
inside a class and then place my cursor on it to see which import name Eclipse generates.
 
This import name i then put inside the .fxml file with <? import ?> beginning and end tags with question marks around it.
 
Is there anyways to automatically generate these import tags inside an .fxml file even if you don't know the import name for the control you want to use?

JavaFX 2.0 :: Restrict TextArea To Allow Only IP Addresses With FXML

JavaFX 2.0 :: Custom ComboBox Implementation Not Recognized By Scene Builder 2.0

Jun 3, 2015

I did an implementation which is an extension of javafx.scene.control.ComboBox

Inside I imported the Class ComboBoxListViewSkin

import com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.ComboBoxListViewSkin;
 
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 ....

JavaFX 2.0 :: Why Does Scene Builder Constantly Create New Instances Of Nodes

Nov 28, 2014

I thought I had a simple idea for creating a control that would let me get some of the behavior of a card pane.  This is the entire control:
 
import javafx.beans.property.BooleanProperty;
import javafx.beans.property.SimpleBooleanProperty;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.scene.Node;

[Code] ....
 
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?

JavaFX 2.0 :: Scene Implementation With ScrollPane - Dynamic Node Scaling

Apr 23, 2015

I'm trying to implement a scene with a ScrollPane in which the user can drag a node around and scale it dynamically. I have the dragging and scaling with the mouse wheel working as well as a reset zoom.
 
Here's my issue:

     I'm having trouble with the calculations to fit the node to the width of the parent.
     If I zoom in or out, the fit to width does not work.
     If I change the window size after running fitWidth() once, the fit to width does not work the second time.
 
Here is my code as an SSCCE and how it works...

1. (works) Mouse wheel will zoom in and out around the mouse pointer
2. (works) Left or right mouse press to drag the rectangle around
3. (works) Left double-click to reset the zoom
4. (doesn't work) Right double-click to fit the width
 
My calculations to re-position the rectangle to the upper left of the pane and fit it (i.e. scale it up or down) to the width of the parent are incorrect.
 
import javafx.animation.KeyFrame;
import javafx.animation.KeyValue;
import javafx.animation.Timeline;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.beans.property.DoubleProperty;

JavaFX 2.0 :: Loading Localized Versions Of FXML Content?

Nov 25, 2014

I am trying to figure out the best way to load localized versions of FXML content. I know that I can localize strings, images etc. by specifying a ResourceBundle when loading the FXML using FXMLLoader with a ResourceBundle. But what about if you need to tweak the FXML for different locales (eg, adding more real estate for certain elements, different fonts, etc). Is there any way to create localized versions of FXML content? The only thing I can come up with is a naming convention like MyForm.fxml, MyForm_de_DE.fxml, ... and trying to load them based on the locale, but I'd have to come up with my own fallback for specific locales that aren't found.

JavaFX 2.0 :: FXML Schema - Creating Dynamic Layouts

I need to create dynamic Layouts that are created from java source code, using JAXB. As FXML does not have a schema, this gets me in trouble.

Scene Builder cannot be used for dynamic Layouts, but if there really is no schema I could use, maybe someone knows how Scene Builder generates the fxml files.
