I am making a view in SceneBuilder for my JavaFX application. I want my view to be maximized. How can I achieve this in SceneBuilder or the .fxml file?
You cannot do that using Scene Builder, since maximize or fullScreen are properties of the Stage and not the layouts set on the scene.
You can load and set the .fxml on the scene and later set the scene on the stage.
The following methods can be used on the stage :
setMaximized(boolean) - To maximize the stage and fill the screen.
setFullScreen(boolean) - To set stage as full-screen, undecorated window.
As you cannot maximize your view in fxml, you have to set the size of the stage to be maximized. There is no direct method for setting the size of the stage to be maximized in javafx 2 but there is another way you can do this. It is by manually setting the size of the stage. You can use this code:
Screen screen = Screen.getPrimary();
Rectangle2D bounds = screen.getVisualBounds();
primaryStage.setX(bounds.getMinX());
primaryStage.setY(bounds.getMinY());
primaryStage.setWidth(bounds.getWidth());
primaryStage.setHeight(bounds.getHeight());
This is the code that works for me
primaryStage.setMaximized(true);
it miximizes my window screen on the launch of the app.
I agree with Yemmy1000. primaryStage.setMaximized(true) works fine for me.
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 1800, 850));
primaryStage.setMaximized(true);
This code will go to width: 1800 and height:900 when restored down from maximum.
Two properties I found in stage which are useful.
First is setFullScreen(boolean) which will set your view to full screeb, but it will also hide all the taskbar and header of view.
Second is setMaximized(boolean) which will set you view to perfect like any other application view size.
I an using setMaximized(true) for my application.

I'm building a JavaFX desktop app using scenebuilder for the UI.
Here i have a tilepane inside of a scrollpane, i couldnt use the "fit to parent" option from the context menu in scene builder, i guess the solution is to give them -fx-id's and bind their width in the controller ?
I dont want to use any values so it all comes together nice when the user resizes the window.
how should i go about doing this?
I Changed the scene of a stage by
((Stage) Node.getScene().getWindow()).setScene(scene);
but I am not able to add any timeline during scene changing.
can anyone suggest me an idea to do it ?? plz
I assume you want to anime a transition between screens in your GUI? For that I recommend you don't switch the Scene but instead switch out Panes (screens being Panes). The following steps should work:
Pick an appropriate root node. The screen (let's call it screen1) you want to show should be a child of that root node.
If you want to replace screen1 with screen2, using a fade transition for example, you could add screen2 to the root node and place below screen1.
Then create a FadeTransition to fade out screen1.
Screen2 should now be showing instead of screen1. Don't forget to remove screen1 from the root node to keep your scenegraph small.
You can adapt this technique to whatever transition you like.
Please I have this problem i am trying to use
scene.getRoot().scaleXProperty().bind(scene.widthProperty().divide(dx));
scene.getRoot().scaleYProperty().bind(scene.heightProperty().divide(dy));
I have tried this code but at the exact size of the Parent, it stop resizing
TextField t1 = new TextField();
t1.setMaxHeight(50);
t1.setMaxWidth(140);
This is the code I use to define a TextField in JavaFX. I think setMaxHeight() method is not working because size is not changing even if the value is changed.
So I tried setPrefSize(), but it too has a problem. The height property is working fine in it, but width is larger than I specified.
How to solve the above issue ?
This is very similar to how swing components work with a layout manager. In javafx the parent pane will adjust the size of nodes so a size that fits. I bet if you give the pane more room the nodes will fill out to their preferred size.
I created a FXML file using JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1. An AnchorPane is created by default. Why can't I modify the resizable attribute?
Do you want to disable window resizing? If so, you can do that in your application program:
stage.setResizable(false);
Why you can't edit bounds
Checkout the javadoc on layoutBounds and boundsInLocal. You will notice that both are ReadOnlyObjectProperties, which is why you can't directly modify them in SceneBuilder.
How to resize a node in SceneBuilder
You can indirectly effect the bounds properties and directly set the resizable properties of the node by altering the min, pref and max height and width.
You can also set the pref size by selecting the pane to be resized and dragging the resizing anchors the surround the selected pane.
Further Information
You might want to read the Oracle tutorial on Tips for Sizing Nodes and Amy Fowler's presentation on JavaFX layout.
You can change resizeble using code
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
