How to add TableView footer in JavaFx TableView - css

Question

I am stuck on how to add table footer or column footer in JavaFX TableView. I am looking to add a TableView which will show purchased items with quantities and sells price in columns and total items count and total sum at the TableView footer. I looked at various resources, but could not find footer property associated with TableView. Any idea how to do it?
Model Class
package javafxapplication8;
public class TestModel {
private String itemName = null;
private int pricePerUnit = 0;
private double quantity = 0.0;
private double amount = 0.0;
public TestModel() {
}
public TestModel(String argitemName, int argpricePerUnit, double argquantity, double argamount) {
itemName = argitemName;
pricePerUnit = argpricePerUnit;
quantity = argquantity;
amount = argamount;
}
public void setItemName(String argitemName) {
itemName = argitemName;
}
public void setPricePerUnit(int argpricePerUnit) {
pricePerUnit = argpricePerUnit;
}
public void setQuantity(double argquantity) {
quantity = argquantity;
}
public void setAmount(double argamount) {
amount = argamount;
}
public String getItemName() {
return itemName;
}
public int getPricePerUnit() {
return pricePerUnit;
}
public double getQuantity() {
return quantity;
}
public double getAmount() {
return amount;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return this.itemName + "" + this.pricePerUnit + "" + this.quantity + "" + this.amount;
}
}

Your updated question was reopened, and the image provided suggests that, instead of a footer, you want two summary fields. As your table is not editable, a simple approximation is illustrated here—add two labels to the view, and iterate the table's model in the controller to establish the localized result:
TVCTestModel.fxml:
…
<bottom>
<HBox alignment="CENTER_RIGHT" style="-fx-spacing: 5px;">
<children>
<Label fx:id="labelQ"/>
<Label fx:id="labelA"/>
</children>
</HBox>
</bottom>
…
TVCTestModel.java
#FXML private Label labelQ;
#FXML private Label labelA;
#Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
…
double sumQuantity = 0;
double sumAmout = 0;
for (TestModel o : objList) {
sumQuantity += o.getQuantity();
sumAmout += o.getAmount();
}
labelQ.setText("Quantity: "
+ NumberFormat.getNumberInstance().format(sumQuantity));
labelA.setText("Amount: "
+ NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(sumAmout));
}
If you later decide to make your table editable, as shown here, you should consider these modifications:
Migrate to observable properties in your model class, as shown here.
Create your ObservableList model with an extractor, as shown here and here; your extractor would include properties for quantity and amount; your controller could then update the summary field in a ListChangeListener.
