JavaFX table- how to add components and relate them to other scene? - javafx

Question

Is there any way --by clicking on the embedded button -- to open a new scene that is related to the tableview raw selected :
for example :
public class TestClass extends Application {
private TableView<Person> table = new TableView<Person>();
private final ObservableList<Person> data =
FXCollections.observableArrayList(
new Person("A", "B", "email#example.com","info"),
new Person("X", "Y", "email2#example.com","info"),
new Person("Z", "W", "email2#example.com","info")
);
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#SuppressWarnings({ "rawtypes", "unchecked" })
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
stage.setTitle("Table View Sample");
final Label label = new Label("Address Book");
label.setFont(new Font("Arial", 20));
final Label actionTaken = new Label();
table.setEditable(true);
TableColumn firstNameCol = new TableColumn("First Name");
firstNameCol.setMinWidth(100);
firstNameCol.setCellValueFactory(
new PropertyValueFactory<Person, String>("firstName"));
TableColumn lastNameCol = new TableColumn("Last Name");
lastNameCol.setMinWidth(100);
lastNameCol.setCellValueFactory(
new PropertyValueFactory<Person, String>("lastName"));
TableColumn emailCol = new TableColumn("Email");
emailCol.setMinWidth(200);
emailCol.setCellValueFactory(
new PropertyValueFactory<Person, String>("email"));
TableColumn<Person, Person> btnCol = new TableColumn<>("info");
btnCol.setMinWidth(150);
btnCol.setCellValueFactory(new Callback<CellDataFeatures<Person, Person>, ObservableValue<Person>>() {
#Override public ObservableValue<Person> call(CellDataFeatures<Person, Person> features) {
return new ReadOnlyObjectWrapper(features.getValue());
}
});
btnCol.setComparator(new Comparator<Person>() {
public int compare(Person p1, Person p2) {
return p1.getLikes().compareTo(p2.getLikes());
}
});
btnCol.setCellFactory(new Callback<TableColumn<Person, Person>, TableCell<Person, Person>>() {
#Override public TableCell<Person, Person> call(TableColumn<Person, Person> btnCol) {
Stage stage = null;
return new AddCell(stage, table);
}
});
table.setItems(data);
table.getColumns().addAll(firstNameCol, lastNameCol, emailCol, btnCol);
final VBox vbox = new VBox();
vbox.setSpacing(5);
vbox.setPadding(new Insets(10, 10, 10, 10));
vbox.getChildren().addAll(label, table, actionTaken);
VBox.setVgrow(table, Priority.ALWAYS);
stage.setScene(new Scene(vbox));
stage.show();
}
}
the Person Class :
public class Person {
private final SimpleStringProperty firstName;
private final SimpleStringProperty lastName;
private final SimpleStringProperty email;
private final SimpleStringProperty infos;
private Person(String fName, String lName, String email, String infos) {
this.firstName = new SimpleStringProperty(fName);
this.lastName = new SimpleStringProperty(lName);
this.email = new SimpleStringProperty(email);
this.infos = new SimpleStringProperty(infos);
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName.get();
}
public void setFirstName(String fName) {
firstName.set(fName);
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName.get();
}
public void setLastName(String fName) {
lastName.set(fName);
}
public String getEmail() {
return email.get();
}
public void setEmail(String fName) {
email.set(fName);
}
public String getLikes() {
return infos.get();
}
public void setLikes(String likes) {
this.infos.set(likes);
}
}
}
the AddCell class :
public class AddCell extends TableCell<Person, Boolean> {
final Button addButton = new Button("Elément");
final StackPane paddedButton = new StackPane();
final DoubleProperty buttonY = new SimpleDoubleProperty();
private MessageCmiService messageService=new MessageCmiServiceImpl();
public AddCell(final Stage stage, final TableView table) {
paddedButton.setPadding(new Insets(3));
paddedButton.getChildren().add(addButton);
addButton.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) {
buttonY.set(mouseEvent.getScreenY());
}
});
addButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
//???
// get the info
}
});
}
#Override
protected void updateItem(Boolean item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (empty) {
setGraphic(null);
}
else{
setContentDisplay(ContentDisplay.GRAPHIC_ONLY);
setGraphic(paddedButton);
}
}
}

In your handler, you can do
Person currentPerson = getTableView().getItems().get(getIndex());
which gives you access to all the data in the current row.
