The first Fxml file name CompanyLayout.fxml contains TextFields and it has its Controller class like CompanyController.java. It has Button name Find when i clicked on that button CompanyTable.fxml is opened which contain TableView. When i clicked on perticular row of TableView the data of that row will display on CompanyLayout.fxml which contains Textfields.
Find Button code for CompanyController.java is this:
btnFind.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
try {
Stage primaryStage = new Stage();
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
Parent root = loader.load(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("Company\\CompanyTable.fxml"));
Scene scene=new Scene(root);
scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("Stylesheet\\style.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setTitle("Company Table");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
TableView Code for CompanyTableController.java is this:
CompanyTable.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
Clicked();
}
});
private void Clicked()
{
try
{
CompanyData categoryData=CompanyTable.getItems().get(CompanyTable.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex());
CategoryID.setText(categoryData.getCompanyID());
CategoryName.setText(categoryData.getCompanyName());
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I hope you will understand this code so, please help me!

I created a sample app that demos your question.
The key is passing data from one Controller to another. You can find info here.
Here is the key code:
#FXML
private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
try
{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("SearchPanel.fxml"));
Parent root = loader.load();
SearchPanelController searchPanelController = loader.getController();//Get access to the Controller
Stage stage = new Stage();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.showAndWait();//Wait for the Search Controller to close.
Customer tempCustomer = searchPanelController.getCustomer();//Get the selected customer from the Search Controller. HAVE A LOOK AT THE SearchPanelController!
//Set the selected customer to the TextFields
tfFirstName.setText(tempCustomer.getFirstName());
tfLastName.setText(tempCustomer.getLastName());
tfEmail.setText(tempCustomer.getEmail());
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
