i want to initialize text in java fx text field. why the text is already selected.
code snippets in class FXMLDocumentController
#Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
source.setText("test source");
dest.setText("test dest");
source.setEditable(false);
dest.setEditable(false);
}
That's the default behavior of a TextField on gaining focus by means other than mouse interaction. If you want to change that, you could add a listener to the focused property that undoes the selection:
source.focusedProperty().addListener((o, oldValue, newValue) -> {
if (newValue) {
Platform.runLater(() -> {
int carretPosition = source.getCaretPosition();
if (source.getAnchor() != carretPosition) {
source.selectRange(carretPosition, carretPosition);
}
});
}
});

I'm writing a JavaFX program with a TableView called 'table' and 2 buttons called 'previous' & 'next'.
Here is part of the code:
previous.setOnAction(event -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectPrevious();
});
next.setOnAction(event -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectNext();
});
However, if I keep pressing the buttons, the table will not scroll automatically to keep the selected item visible. So I modified the code like this :
previous.setOnAction(event -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectPrevious();
table.scrollTo(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem());
});
next.setOnAction(event -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectNext();
table.scrollTo(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem());
});
But it will always try to keep the selected item at the top of the visible region. If I keep pressing 'next'. The selected item will stay at the top instead of staying at the bottom.
I want to mimic the natural behavior of a tableview in the way that if I press up or down on the keyboard with something selected, the tableview will scroll automatically to keep the selected item visible.
How should I modify the code to make the auto scrolling more natural when I press the buttons?
Thanks
The problem is
missing fine-grained control of scrollTo target location on application level
the (somewhat unfortunate) implementation of virtualizedControl.scrollTo(index) which (ultimately) leads to calling flow.scrollToTop(index)
There's a long-standing RFE (reported 2014!) requesting better control from application code. Actually, VirtualFlow has public methods (scrollToTop, scrollTo, scrollPixels) providing such, only they are not passed on to the control layer (getVirtualFlow in VirtualContainerBase is final protected), so can't be overridden in a custom skin. Since fx12, we can hack a bit, and expose the onSelectXX of Tree/TableViewSkin and use those, either directly in application code (example below) or in a custom TableView.
Example code:
public class TableSelectNextKeepVisible extends Application {
/**
* Custom table skin to expose onSelectXX methods for application use.
*/
public static class MyTableSkin<T> extends TableViewSkin<T> {
public MyTableSkin(TableView<T> control) {
super(control);
}
/**
* Overridden to widen scope to public.
*/
#Override
public void onSelectBelowCell() {
super.onSelectBelowCell();
}
/**
* Overridden to widen scope to public.
*/
#Override
public void onSelectAboveCell() {
super.onSelectAboveCell();
}
}
private Parent createContent() {
TableView<Locale> table = new TableView<>(FXCollections.observableArrayList(Locale.getAvailableLocales())) {
#Override
protected Skin<?> createDefaultSkin() {
return new MyTableSkin<>(this);
}
};
TableColumn<Locale, String> country = new TableColumn<>("Column");
country.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<>("displayLanguage"));
table.getColumns().addAll(country);
Button next = new Button("next");
next.setOnAction(e -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectNext();
// scrolls to top
// table.scrollTo(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex());
((MyTableSkin<?>) table.getSkin()).onSelectBelowCell();
});
Button previous = new Button("previous");
previous.setOnAction(e -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectPrevious();
// scrolls to top
// table.scrollTo(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex());
((MyTableSkin<?>) table.getSkin()).onSelectAboveCell();
});
BorderPane content = new BorderPane(table);
content.setBottom(new HBox(10, next, previous));
return content;
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
stage.setScene(new Scene(createContent()));
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
try using getSelectedIndex as follows instead of using getSelectedItem
previous.setOnAction(event -> {
table.getSelectionModel().selectPrevious();
table.scrollTo(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex());
});
Platform.runLater( () -> TABLE_NAME.scrollTo(TABLE_INFORMATION_LIST.getList().size()-index) );
should work if you call it whenever you add information to the table.
I am just changing from AWT to JavaFX and im wondering how to work with focus.
For Exampe: In AWT I wrote something like that:
Button bFocus = new Button("Focus");
bFocus.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
System.out.println("Having the Focus");
}
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
System.out.println("Lost the Focus");
}
});
But how does it work in JavaFX? I tried many different things, but that doesnt work...
JavaFX has an API that defines observable properties with which you can register listeners and respond when they change. Almost all state that belongs to UI elements in JavaFX is represented by these properties, allowing you to register a listener that responds when they change.
So, for example, the superclass of all UI elements, Node has a ReadOnlyBooleanProperty called focused, with which you can register a listener:
Button bFocus = new Button("Focus");
bFocus.focusedProperty().addListener((obs, wasFocused, isNowFocused) -> {
if (isNowFocused) {
System.out.println("Having the Focus");
} else {
System.out.println("Lost the Focus");
}
});
I thought it might be helpful to see an example which specifies the ChangeListener as an anonymous inner class like James_D mention here.
TextField yourTextField = new TextField();
yourTextField.focusedProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>()
{
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> arg0, Boolean oldPropertyValue, Boolean newPropertyValue)
{
if (newPropertyValue)
{
System.out.println("Textfield on focus");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Textfield out focus");
}
}
});
I hope this answer is helpful!
Nowadays I am working on raspberry pi and I write some programs in java , javafx platforms.I just would like to inform you that I am simply beginner on javafx.
According to that I just would like to trigger ENTER key after changing my textfield.Working principle of my program is like this;
1)I have created one masterform fxml and it is directing all other pages with one textfield.
2)I created main method that let me to use keyboard to enter some specific String values to assign them to textfield for page alteration.
3)I have a bridge java page, it includes global variables to use everywhere in project.So Firstly I set value from keyboard to these global variables.These global variables are created as stringproperty for adding actionlistener for any change.
4)Then I set these global variables to textfield.
5)Textfield indicates relevant values from keyboard.But Unfortunately I can not forward the pages without pressing to enter key.In this case ı would like to trigger this textfield.But unfortunately ı have no idea how to trigger texfield without pressing enter key.Therefore I decided to make auto trigger to enter key for this textfield.
I simply used robot method;
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
But it didn't work.Because After I set the global variable to textfield for first time.It does not define the value of the textfield is changed.It determines after pressing the enter key.
So how can I trigger this textfield after getting value of my global variables.I would like to pass how to set pages, I will show you how my program works.
Example of my code is;
Main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner=new Scanner(System.in);
for (String strBarcode = scanner.nextLine(); !strBarcode.isEmpty();
strBarcode = scanner.nextLine()) {
if (strBarcode.equals("distribution")){
Global.G_MOD.set("distribution");
System.out.println(Global.G_MOD.get());
}
}}
GlobalVariables.java(bridge page)
public class Global{
public static StringProperty G_MOD = new SimpleStringProperty("");
}
My MasterController Page for javafx
public class masterformController implements Initializable {
#FXML
public TextField tbxBarcode;
#FXML
void onchangetbxBarcode(ActionEvent event) {
if(Global.G_MOD.get().equals("distribution")){
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/puttolightfx/fxml/page1.fxml"));
Parent rootpage1 = (Parent)loader.load();
pnPages.getChildren().clear();
pnPages.getChildren().add(rootpage1);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(masterformController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
#Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
Global.G_MOD.addListener(new ChangeListener(){
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue observable, Object oldValue, Object newValue) {
String Newvalue = (String)newValue;
tbxBarcode.setText(Global.G_MOD.get());}
});
}
}
So Everything is working, just I have to trigger textfield when the global value : Global.G_MOD is indicated on texfield.Then it will pass to another page according to global value of Global.G_MOD : "distribution".
SOLUTION(SOLVED):
I solved my problem using thread on listener of the textfield.I gave up to trigger enter key automatically and focused on textfield change.
I simply decided to use thread to change .fxml pages in textfield listener.
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
//if you change the UI, do it here !
}
});
EDITED CODE :
tbxBarcode.textProperty().addListener((ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, String oldValue, String newValue) -> {
String Newvalue=(String)newValue;
System.out.println(tbxBarcode.getText());
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if(Global.G_MOD.get().equals("distribution")){
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/puttolightfx/fxml/page1.fxml"));
Parent rootpage1 = (Parent)loader.load();
pnPages.getChildren().clear();
pnPages.getChildren().add(rootpage1);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(masterformController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
// }
}
});
});
Try using
textField.fireEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, "", "", KeyCode.ENTER, true, true, true, true));
According to the docs
public KeyEvent(EventType<KeyEvent> eventType,
String character,
String text,
KeyCode code,
boolean shiftDown,
boolean controlDown,
boolean altDown,
boolean metaDown)
Constructs new KeyEvent event with null source and target and KeyCode object directly specified.
Parameters:
eventType - The type of the event.
character - The character or sequence of characters associated with the event
text - A String describing the key code
code - The integer key code
shiftDown - true if shift modifier was pressed.
controlDown - true if control modifier was pressed.
altDown - true if alt modifier was pressed.
metaDown - true if meta modifier was pressed.
Since:
JavaFX 8.0
You can refer https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/input/KeyEvent.html
Edit 1
You need to identify the moment when Enter key event must be triggered.
For example:
If your textfield allows a limited number of characters, then you can add the above mentioned code in the following way:
txtField.textProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, String oldValue, String newValue) {
if (newValue.length()>30) {
txtField.setText(oldValue);
txtField.fireEvent(new KeyEvent(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, "", "", KeyCode.ENTER, true, true, true, true));
}
}
});
This is just an example. It can fire your event multiple times, so you need to write the code to fire the event just once.
I am building a JavaFX application and I have a TextArea inserted.
The TextArea has a CSS class assigned (don't know if it matters):
.default-cursor{
-fx-background-color:#EEEEEE;
-fx-cursor:default;
}
There are 2 issues about this TextArea:
-fx-cursor:default; Has no effect as the cursor remains the text cursor. That is weird as i use the same class for a TextField with proper/expected results
The TextArea does not handle MOUSE_PRESSED eventMy code is :
textArea.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
System.out.println("print message");
}
});
Any ideas why?
I want to note that when I changed EventHandler to handle MOUSE_CLICKED everything is fine
I suspect the default handlers for mouse events on the TextArea are consuming the mouse pressed event before it gets to your handler.
Install an EventFilter instead:
textArea.addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
System.out.println("mouse pressed");
}
});
The Event filter will get processed before the default handlers see the event.
For your css issue, try
.default-cursor .content {
-fx-cursor: default ;
}
I want to know whether how to capture the button clicked with AspectJ and get its parameter (eg. button name). I think for having more generalized capturing with AspectJ, it shoudl be used MouseListener so it can capture other UI elements in general!
Example:
In a GUI example I have defined 2 buttons that take some actions
public JButton btn1 = new JButton("Test1");
public JButton btn2 = new JButton("Test2");
btn1.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
//take some actions
}
}
btn2.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
//take some actions
}
}
How to capture these buttons with AspectJ, and get their parameters (eg. name)?
It is possible. I have provided two examples. The first that prints out for every JButton that has an ActionListener. The other example only prints out if a specific buttons is clicked.
Prints the text for every JButton clicked with an ActionListener:
#Pointcut("execution(* *.actionPerformed(*)) && args(actionEvent)")
public void buttonPointcut(ActionEvent actionEvent) {}
#Before("buttonPointcut(actionEvent)")
public void beforeButtonPointcut(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
if (actionEvent.getSource() instanceof JButton) {
JButton clickedButton = (JButton) actionEvent.getSource();
System.out.println("Button name: " + clickedButton.getText());
}
}
Prints the text for a specific JButton:
public static JButton j1;
#Pointcut("execution(* *.actionPerformed(*)) && args(actionEvent) && if()")
public static boolean button1Pointcut(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
return (actionEvent.getSource() == j1);
}
#Before("button1Pointcut(actionEvent)")
public void beforeButton1Pointcut(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
// logic before the actionPerformed() method is executed for the j1 button..
}
UPDATED:
You can do this in many different ways. For example add your buttons to the aspect directly. But I prefere to use a enum object between (ButtonManager in this case), so the code does not know about the aspect. And since the ButtonManager is an enum object, it is easy for the aspect to retrieve values from it.
I just tested it with a Swing button class from Oracle and it works. In the Swing class:
b1 = new JButton("Disable middle button", leftButtonIcon);
ButtonManager.addJButton(b1);
AspectJ is extremely powerful when it comes to manipulating classes, but it can not weave advises into specific objects since objects is not created at the time of weaving. So you can only work with objects at runtime and that is why I have added the addJButton(..) method above. That enables the aspect to check the advised button against a list of registered buttons.
The ButtonManager class:
public enum ButtonManager {
;
private static Collection<JButton> buttonList = new LinkedList<JButton>();
public static void addJButton(JButton jButton) {
buttonList.add(jButton);
}
public static Collection<JButton> getButtonList() {
return buttonList;
}
}
Modified pointcut and advice to only print the name of the buttons registered in the ButtonManager:
#Pointcut("execution(* *.actionPerformed(*)) && args(actionEvent) && if()")
public static boolean buttonListPointcut(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
Collection<JButton> buttonList = ButtonManager.getButtonList();
JButton registeredButton = null;
for (JButton jButton : buttonList) {
if (actionEvent.getSource() == jButton) {
registeredButton = jButton;
}
}
return registeredButton != null;
}
#Before("buttonListPointcut(actionEvent)")
public void beforeButtonListPointcut(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
JButton clickedButton = (JButton) actionEvent.getSource();
System.out.println("Registered button name: " + clickedButton.getText());
}

Okay, I believe I understand what you want. You want to listen to mouse events. That is possible. The downside is that you have to register all your GUI components that you want to listen for clicks with a mouse listener. It is not enough to register the JPanel of the JFrame with a MouseListener. So if you only have registered an ActionListener for your buttons, you also have to add a mouse listener.
I have created a quick solution that works for me. It only shows that it works. I have not tried to make the solution generic with many different GUI objects. But that should be quite easy to refactor in when you have got the basics to work.
In the Swing class:
private class MouseListener extends MouseInputAdapter {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
}
In the init method of the Swing class:
MouseListener myListener = new MouseListener();
btn1.addMouseListener(myListener);
btn2.addMouseListener(myListener);
In the Aspect class:
#Pointcut("execution(* *.mouseClicked(*)) && args(mouseEvent)")
public void mouseEventPointcut(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {}
#Before("mouseEventPointcut(mouseEvent)")
public void beforeMouseEventPointcut(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
if (mouseEvent.getSource() instanceof JButton) {
JButton clickedButton = (JButton) mouseEvent.getSource();
System.out.println("aspectJ --> mouseClicked: " + clickedButton.getText());
}
}
This results in the following output in the console:
aspectJ --> mouseClicked: Test1
I hope it helps!
