JavaFX Adding Rows to TableView on Different Page - javafx

Question

Okay, I've been working through some issues with this program and I think I've finally gotten it to a point where I understand what is wrong. I'm trying to follow this tutorial a bit: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/fxml_get_started/fxml_tutorial_intermediate.htm But my program has the add a row on a different FXML page than the Table View is on. I think the program is having trouble connecting the two. I've looked in to trying to find ways to make them talk to each other (put everything in one Controller and it didn't like it, tried passing the controller through the class and that didn't work {might have done it wrong though}). My program also has Integers and Doubles in it which are not covered in that tutorial so I've tried to figure those out on my own (probably better ways of doing it than I did).
But right now I'm just focused on figuring out why it keeps thinking
data = partTable.getItems();
Is null (line 77 in AddPartController). Any help or other FXML/JavaFX tutorials would be greatly appreciated (though I've already looked through a lot of them).

Answer 1

The is no element in addPart.fxml with fx:id="partTable". Consequently partTable is null, and
partTable.getItems();
throws a null pointer exception.
You need to inject partTable into the controller for the FXML in which it is defined:
public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {
#FXML
private Label label;
#FXML
private TableView<Inhouse> partTable ;
// ...
}
The AddPartController only needs access to the list of items associated with the table, so you can define a field for it, and a method for initializing it:
public class AddPartController implements Initializable {
// ...
private ObservableList<Inhouse> tableItems ;
public void setTableItems(ObservableList<Inhouse> tableItems) {
this.tableItems = tableItems ;
}
// ...
}
Then set the items when you load addPart.fxml:
#FXML
private void addPart(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("addPart.fxml"));
Parent add_part_parent = loader.load();
AddPartController addPartController = loader.getController();
addPartController.setTableItems(partTable.getItems());
Scene add_part_scene = new Scene(add_part_parent);
add_part_scene.getStylesheets().add("style.css");
Stage app_stage = (Stage) ((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow();
app_stage.setScene(add_part_scene);
app_stage.show();
}
and then of course you just need
#FXML
public void addInhouse(ActionEvent event){
tableItems.add(new Inhouse(partNameField.getText(),
Integer.parseInt(partInstockField.getText()),
Double.parseDouble(partPriceField.getText()),
Integer.parseInt(partMaxField.getText()),
Integer.parseInt(partMinField.getText()),
Integer.parseInt(inhouseTextField.getText())
// Integer.parseInt(outsourcedTextField.getText())
));
}
(FWIW I have no idea what
partInstockField.setText(String.valueOf(partInstockField));
etc etc is supposed to do.)
