Binding Chart to TableView JavaFX - javafx

Question

I have a TableView with data, and would like a PieChart to visualize the data in that table. I can not understand how I am supposed to bind the arraylist from the TableView to the Piechart, as the TableView requires getters and setters, while the piechart requires a PieChart.Data observable list.
This is my current code, the elements are designed with Scene Builder
#FXML
private TableView<Record> tableView;
static ObservableList<Record> dataen
= FXCollections.observableArrayList(
new Record("January", 100),
new Record("February", 200));
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
Month.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("fieldMonth"));
Value.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("fieldValue"));
tableView.setItems(dataen);
}
}

Answer 1

Either make a listener on your TableView items list (dataen) or just use the same list for both. Here they use the same list. You could change your list to be of type <PieChart.Data> instead of <Record>, otherwise use a listener.

public class ChangePie extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
ObservableList<PieChart.Data> pieChartData =
FXCollections.observableArrayList(
new PieChart.Data("Grapefruit", 13),
new PieChart.Data("Oranges", 25),
new PieChart.Data("Plums", 10),
new PieChart.Data("Pears", 22),
new PieChart.Data("Apples", 30));
final PieChart chart = new PieChart(pieChartData);
chart.setTitle("Imported Fruits");
TableView tv = new TableView(pieChartData);
tv.setEditable(true);
TableColumn tc1 = new TableColumn("Name");
tc1.setPrefWidth(100);
tc1.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("name"));
tc1.setCellFactory(TextFieldTableCell.forTableColumn());
TableColumn tc2 = new TableColumn("Data");
tc2.setPrefWidth(100);
tc2.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("pieValue"));
tc2.setCellFactory(TextFieldTableCell.forTableColumn(new NumberStringConverter()));
tv.getColumns().addAll(tc1,tc2);
Scene scene = new Scene(new VBox(chart,tv));
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
