I have a fxml dialog in SceneBuilder, which contains a Gridpane on the right side of a Splitpane contained in a BorderPane. I have two issues with this dialog that relate to each other.
Problem #1 is the width of the last column doesn't behave as
expected, given I set the max width to "USE_COMPUTED_SIZE", Hgrow = "Never" and Fill Width = false.
Problem #2, is that the preview in SceneBuilder differs
from the layout when I run the application.
The layout of the overall dialog is supposed to look like this (I highlighted where the different columns are located):
Regarding problem 1: In order to achieve this layout of the GridPane I have to constraint the max width of the last column to a value of ~60, despite that all of its Nodes, in the different rows, are limited in width. I would expect that this column stays narrow and that column 2 would take all the available space. But if I don't use this explicit max width value, the remaining space is not given to the Combobox but to the last column, which looks like this:
Regarding problem #2: In SceneBuilder the dialog looks like the images above. And if I resize the Splitpane the layout works such that I can continuesly see the buttons in the bottom and the exercise break and total duration information in the top right as long as possible. The Combobox and the table resize accordingly.Nice. However, if I run the application the right side of the Gridpane is cut off and I need to move the Splitpane to the left in order to see the missing nodes:

There is no magic in loading the fxml:
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
try {
URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("ui/MainScene.fxml");
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(url);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setTitle("Sifu says...");
// primaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
// primaryStage.setFullScreenExitKeyCombination(KeyCombination.NO_MATCH);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
EDIT:
If I don't set the last column width manually, then the application version does not cut the right side but looks like the 2nd picture.
END_EDIT
What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately, could not find a solution, just a minimal reproducible example for debugging/analysing: I think the behavior might be a bug.
The example below is part of the upper right gridpane in the question. The buttons in its second line are wired to increment/decrement the preferred width of the first column and log the table's pref width (along with its current width).
When run as-is, the initial layout is as expected, that is the last grid column the same as the restricted max of the upper left textField.
incr/dec the pref column width a bit and see that the the table's pref width is at its lower boundary (400 * golden-ratio), so doesn't change
increment further to see the misbehavior (the last grid column increasing): it starts as soon as the table's pref is increasing.
output (the numbers might depend on screen size/resolution):
pref: 247.2135948 actual: 315.3333333333333 // pref at lower boundary
pref: 247.2135948 actual: 315.3333333333333
pref: 247.66666666666669 actual: 315.3333333333333 // incr pref -> last grid column increasing
pref: 248.66666666666669 actual: 316.0

private Parent createContent() {
GridPane grid = new GridPane();
ObservableList<ColumnConstraints> columnConstraints = grid.getColumnConstraints();

This is an opinionated answer.
I'd get rid of a lot of the hard coding of constraints and use the GridPane minimally, only where it makes sense to align things in a Grid. Otherwise, I would use other layout panes (e.g., VBox, HBox, ButtonBar) with appropriate padding, spacing and alignment values to get the layout required.
Don't use node orientation for layout purposes. The purpose of that setting is described in the documentation:
Node orientation describes the flow of visual data within a node. In the English speaking world, visual data normally flows from left-to-right. In an Arabic or Hebrew world, visual data flows from right-to-left. This is consistent with the reading order of text in both worlds. The default value is left-to-right.
But your app is in English, so you shouldn't change the default node orientation.
The sample below demonstrates the approach I advocate. It is not supposed to be a complete layout for your app, nor to be exactly the layout you want to create for the provided elements (you will need to make adjustments). Nor does it try to solve all issues you raise in your question. Hopefully, it will provide you with a start on how to fix some of your issues by applying the recommended approach.

}
my fxml with anchor Pane:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="559.0" prefWidth="811.0" style="-fx-background-color: #f547;" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">

</children>
</AnchorPane>
I don't know what is going on it is not full size and is covering other parts of my screen
I don't know if it's because of the stackpane or some configuration I made.
If anyone can help me on how I can solve this
Your main problem is misusing different Pane types to achive your goal. It would be very hard to point out all the problems this layout has. That is why I publish fxml which provides expected layout. Load it in SceneBuilder and try to manipulate it for better understanding. Remember that order of addition to GridPane (same for every Pane) affects z-order of children.

i need the result like below image when visible(false) for btn1,btn2
i use scene builder. thanks
In addition to making the components invisible by setting the visible property to false ('visible="false"'), you have set the managed property to false (managed="false").But with explicit 'ColumnConstraints' in your fxml, 'managed=false' will not have effect. So you may want to avoid using ColumnConstraints and instead use GridPane child component's properties to set dimensions.
The below screen shot is the default size of stage
when resized
how to resize the inner components when resizing the stage window accordingly?

FXML code (above) scrollpane and splitpane enclosed inside HBox and VBox respectively.
Also I want to keep space between images..
