Having trouble retrieving value from tableview - javafx

Question

I'm having having trouble getting a correct output from tableview. I'm using a button to set one item from tableview to a label. However, it prints "StringProperty [Value pineapples]" where I would like it to be just "pineapples".
The tableview gives them correctly.
public class ProductListController implements Initializable {
#FXML public TableView<Model> tableview ;
#FXML private TableColumn<Model, Number> ProductID;
#FXML private TableColumn<Model, String> ProductName;
#FXML private TableColumn<Model, Number> ProductPrice;
#FXML private Label lblProduct;
#FXML private Label lblPrice;
#FXML
private void btnActionShow(ActionEvent event) {
assert tableview !=null : " ";
ProductID.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().ProductIDProperty());
ProductName.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().ProductNameProperty());
ProductPrice.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().ProductPriceProperty());
buildData();
}
private ObservableList<Model> data;
public void buildData(){
data = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
try{
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/Stock", "*****", "*****");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
String SQL = "SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
while (rs.next()) {
Model mod = new Model();
mod.ProductID.set(rs.getInt("ID"));
mod.ProductName.set(rs.getString("NAME"));
mod.ProductPrice.set(rs.getInt("SELL_PRICE"));
data.add(mod);
}
tableview.setItems(data);
}
catch ( SQLException err) {
System.out.println(err.getMessage() );
}
}
//Button to fetch data from Tableview. Sets the data not the way I want.
#FXML
private void btnConfirmAction(ActionEvent event) {
Model model = tableview.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();
String prd;
prd = model.getProductName().toString();
lblProduct.setText(prd);
}
#FXML
private void btnNextAction(ActionEvent event) {
try{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/appl/Discount.fxml"));
Parent parent = loader.load();
DiscountController discountcontr = loader.getController();
discountcontr.setProduct(tableview.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem().getProductName().toString());
Stage stage = new Stage();
Scene scene = new Scene(parent);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
catch(IOException e){
}
}
#Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
}
}
Model
public class Model {
public SimpleIntegerProperty ProductID = new SimpleIntegerProperty();
public SimpleStringProperty ProductName = new SimpleStringProperty ();
public SimpleIntegerProperty ProductPrice = new SimpleIntegerProperty();
private final SimpleBooleanProperty Checked = new SimpleBooleanProperty(false);
public SimpleBooleanProperty checkedProperty() {
return this.Checked;
}
public java.lang.Boolean getChecked() {
return this.checkedProperty().get();
}
public void setChecked(final java.lang.Boolean checked) {
this.checkedProperty().set(checked);
}
public SimpleIntegerProperty getProductID() {
return ProductID;
}
public SimpleStringProperty getProductName() {
return ProductName;
}
public SimpleIntegerProperty getProductPrice() {
return ProductPrice;
}

Answer 1

Since getProductName() returns a SimpleStringProperty, you need to retrieve the String from it using the get(). Just use :
String prd = model.getProductName().get();

Answer 2

Your model is implemented incorrectly. You should use the following pattern:
public class Model {
private SimpleStringProperty productName = new SimpleStringProperty();
public SimpleStringProperty productNameProperty() {
return productName ;
}
public final String getProductName() {
return productNameProperty().get();
}
public final void setProductName(String productName) {
productNameProperty().set(productName);
}
}
and similarly for the other properties.
If you use the e(fx)clipse plugin, you can generate the methods automatically from the property definition by right-clicking, choosing "Source" and then "Generate JavaFX Getters and Setters". I think NetBeans has similar functionality.
