Javafx BorderPane with 2 GridPanes, second GridPane not showing up - javafx

I need two grids in a BorderPane which is placed in a tab. When I add them both everything seems fine, but on launch only the first grid is visible.
This is my code.
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
BorderPane bp = new BorderPane();
GridPane g1 = new GridPane();
g1.add(new Button("b1"), 0, 0);
GridPane g2 = new GridPane();
g2.add(new Button("b2"), 0, 0);
bp.setCenter(g1);
bp.setBottom(g2);
TabPane p = new TabPane();
Tab tab = new Tab("Test tab");
tab.setContent(bp);
p.getTabs().add(tab);
Scene s = new Scene(p);
stage.setScene(s);
stage.show();
}
g2 is not showing up at all. What am I missing?

Click outside of pane yet inside of Scene in Javafx

This is for homework but I like to do extra than what's assigned. The goal is if we click in the pane it will show the coordinates. Got it but I don't like how I have to click inside the pane is there a way to make it where if I click in the scene it will display in the pane? (here is what I got).
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Pane pane = new Pane();
Text text = new Text(50, 50, "Hello");
pane.getChildren().addAll(text);
text.setOnMouseClicked(e -> {
text.setText(e.getX() + ", " + e.getY() );
});
Scene scene = new Scene(pane, 300, 200);
primaryStage.setTitle("MouseClicker");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();

Border Pane issues

I want to make a border pane with two HBoxes on top and bottom and a GridPane in the center... I wrote what I needed, attached the labels but I can't run the code
Exception in Application start method
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException is what I get as an error... the code is below, any help is welcome :) thanks
public class labelBorder extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
BorderPane bp = new BorderPane();
bp.setPrefSize(400, 400);
HBox hb1 = new HBox();
Label lb1 = new Label("");
lb1.setPrefWidth(200);
lb1.setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.AQUAMARINE,BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID,null,new BorderWidths(5))));
Label lb2 = new Label("");
lb2.setPrefWidth(200);
lb2.setBorder(new Border(new BorderStroke(Color.BLUEVIOLET,BorderStrokeStyle.SOLID,null,new BorderWidths(5))));
HBox hb2 = new HBox();
URI foto = Paths.get("D:\\Barca.jpg").toUri();
Label lb3 = new Label();
lb3.setGraphic(new ImageView(foto.toString()));
lb3.autosize();
GridPane gp = new GridPane();
Label lb4 = new Label("");
Label lb5 = new Label("");
Label lb6 = new Label("");
Label lb7 = new Label("");
gp.add(lb4, 0, 0);
gp.add(lb5, 0, 1);
gp.add(lb6, 1, 0);
gp.add(lb7, 1, 1);
gp.getChildren().addAll(lb4,lb5,lb6,lb7);
hb1.getChildren().addAll(lb1,lb2);
hb2.getChildren().addAll(lb3);
bp.setTop(hb1);
bp.setCenter(gp);
bp.setBottom(hb2);
bp.getChildren().addAll(hb1,hb2,gp);
Scene scene = new Scene(bp);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
You should NOT add the duplicate children controls to your parent layout(pane). Your code must be throwing,
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Children: duplicate children added
To overcome your issue remove these lines,
gp.getChildren().addAll(lb4,lb5,lb6,lb7);
And,
bp.getChildren().addAll(hb1,hb2,gp);
As those controls have already been added to your corresponding layout.
Note: Adding children with pane.getChildren().addAll(...) on BorderPane is irrelevant and will be ignored while rendering the added controls.

Java FX out of the window screen

I wanna it will be okay when the number variables is changed, but when the are increased the button goes out from the window. How to fix it? Also how to put the bar down to the level of "10$", so they will be in the same row?
Before :
After :
Here is my code :
VBox vboxBottom = new VBox();
HBox hboxBottomElements = new HBox(15);
HBox hboxBottomMain = new HBox(0);
Region region = new Region();
region.setPrefWidth(500);
hboxBottomElements.getChildren().addAll(visaLabel, separator2, adLabel, separator3, governRelationStatus, separator4, region, next);
hboxBottomElements.setPadding(new Insets(5));
vboxBottom.getChildren().addAll(separator1, new Group(hboxBottomElements));
vboxBottom.setPadding(new Insets(3));
hboxBottomMain.getChildren().addAll(new Group(moneyBox), vboxBottom);
hboxBottomMain.setPadding(new Insets(3));
layout.setBottom(hboxBottomMain);
By using a Group here
vboxBottom.getChildren().addAll(separator1, new Group(hboxBottomElements));
you're creating a layout structure that resizes hboxBottomElements to it's prefered size independent of the space available.
HBox simply moves elements out the right side of it's bounds, if the space available does not suffice. This means if the Group containing moneyBox grows, the Button is moved out of the HBox...
The following simpler example demonstrates the behavior:
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btn = new Button("Do something");
HBox.setHgrow(btn, Priority.NEVER);
btn.setMinWidth(Region.USE_PREF_SIZE);
Region filler = new Region();
filler.setPrefWidth(100);
HBox.setHgrow(filler, Priority.ALWAYS);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(200, 50);
HBox hBox = new HBox(rect, filler, btn);
Scene scene = new Scene(hBox);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
This will resize filler to make the HBox fit the window.
Now replace
Scene scene = new Scene(hBox);
with
Scene scene = new Scene(new Group(hBox));
and the Button will be moved out of the window...

JAVAFX: How can I put this into one window instead of two?

I've been trying to make a toolbar inside a window with a checkers game, what happens now is, Checkers game opening in a separate window and so is the toolbar, what am I doing wrong? How can I make this code open in one window with both functions?
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Stage toolStage = new Stage();
Button btnNewGame = new Button("New Game");
Button btnConcede = new Button("Concede");
Button btnNetwork = new Button("Network");
ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar();
toolBar.getItems().addAll( new Separator(), btnNewGame, btnConcede, btnNetwork);
BorderPane pane = new BorderPane();
pane.setTop(toolBar);
Scene toolScene = new Scene(pane, 600, 400);
toolStage.setScene(toolScene);
toolStage.show();
Scene scene = new Scene(createContent());
primaryStage.setTitle("Dam spill - OBJ2000 Eksamen 2016");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
You're creating a new Scene+Stage fot the toolbar, show it and then show the content in the primaryStage instead of adding both toolbar and content as parts of the same scene, e.g. by adding the content as center node of the BorderPane:
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Button btnNewGame = new Button("New Game");
Button btnConcede = new Button("Concede");
Button btnNetwork = new Button("Network");
ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar();
toolBar.getItems().addAll( new Separator(), btnNewGame, btnConcede, btnNetwork);
BorderPane pane = new BorderPane();
pane.setTop(toolBar);
pane.setCenter(createContent());
Scene scene = new Scene(pane, 600, 400);
primaryStage.setTitle("Dam spill - OBJ2000 Eksamen 2016");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}

Cant get pane centered in Borderpane

Ok so I am in a basic programming class, and we have to make a borderpane that has all the different panes inside of it. When i try to put just a regular pane in the center with a "hello" button inside it the button gets put on the top the borderpane. All of the other panes I use a method that makes 5 buttons and randomly inserts a word and randomly rotates it. How do i get the pane to be in the center and not the top
StackPane root = new StackPane();
Button[] buttons = new Button[5];
buttons = createButtons();
root.getChildren().addAll(buttons);
FlowPane flow = new FlowPane();
Button[] buttons1 = new Button[5];
buttons1 = createButtons();
flow.getChildren().addAll(buttons1);
HBox hbox= new HBox();
Button[] buttons2 = new Button[5];
buttons2 = createButtons();
hbox.getChildren().addAll(buttons2);
VBox vbox = new VBox();
Button[] buttons3 = new Button[5];
buttons3 = createButtons();
vbox.getChildren().addAll(buttons3);
Pane pane = new Pane();
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Hello");
pane.getChildren().add(btn);
BorderPane border = new BorderPane();
border.setBottom(hbox);
border.setLeft(root);
border.setRight(vbox);
border.setTop(flow);
border.setCenter(pane);
Scene scene = new Scene(border, 500, 500);
primaryStage.setTitle("Buttons");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
You should add a background color for identification, e. g. via setStyle("-fx-background-color:black). This way you see how each of your panes are laid out.
Example:
public class BindIt extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.setStyle("-fx-background-color:red");
Button[] buttons = new Button[5];
buttons = createButtons();
root.getChildren().addAll(buttons);
FlowPane flow = new FlowPane();
flow.setStyle("-fx-background-color:blue");
Button[] buttons1 = new Button[5];
buttons1 = createButtons();
flow.getChildren().addAll(buttons1);
HBox hbox= new HBox();
hbox.setStyle("-fx-background-color:green");
Button[] buttons2 = new Button[5];
buttons2 = createButtons();
hbox.getChildren().addAll(buttons2);
VBox vbox = new VBox();
vbox.setStyle("-fx-background-color:yellow");
Button[] buttons3 = new Button[5];
buttons3 = createButtons();
vbox.getChildren().addAll(buttons3);
Pane pane = new Pane();
pane.setStyle("-fx-background-color:cyan");
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("Hello");
pane.getChildren().add(btn);
BorderPane border = new BorderPane();
border.setStyle("-fx-background-color:black");
border.setBottom(hbox);
border.setLeft(root);
border.setRight(vbox);
border.setTop(flow);
border.setCenter(pane);
Scene scene = new Scene(border, 500, 500);
primaryStage.setTitle("Buttons");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
private Button[] createButtons() {
return new Button[] { new Button( "Button") };
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
It gives you this:
Now you see that the center pane is in the center and fills the center. The problem is that the button isn't in the center. The easy solution is to just use a StackPane for the center pane:
StackPane pane = new StackPane();
Another solution would be to relocate the button to the center of the center pane. But then you'd have to consider resizing of the parent.
