I have two FXML files and one Controller.
I have posted the code in which i have tried to create a second stage (and failed).
Error message is:
javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane cannot be cast to javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader
How do I fix it?
#FXML private Scene trial_scene;
#FXML public Stage m;
#FXML public void click(Stage stage) throws IOException {
m = new Stage();
openWindow();
}
#FXML private void openWindow() throws IOException {
FXMLLoader root =FXMLLoader.load(
SampleController.class.getResource(
"settings.fxml"
)
);
m.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);
m.setTitle("My modal window");
m.setScene(trial_scene);
m.show();
}
The static method FXMLLoader.load returns the root node (and so the objet hierarchy) defined in the .fxml file. In your case it seems to be an AnchorPane.
Your fist line should be
AnchorPane root = FXMLLoader.load(SampleController.class.getResource("settings.fxml"));
Use this object to construct your new scene, for example
Scene trial_scene = new Scene(root, 300, 300, Color.BLACK);
Then pass this scene to your new stage
m.setScene(trial_scene);

How do I display an fxml file for some seconds and close that fxml file and return to the mainpage.fxml?
I have tried to add hideThispage method to the initialize method in the controller class of the fxml but I guess the initialize methods just runs before the class is actually loaded so I cannot run this code.
#FXML
public void hideThisPage() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
Window window = new Stage();
PauseTransition pause = new PauseTransition(Duration.seconds(5));
pause.setOnFinished(e -> window.hide());
pause.play();
FxmlDisplay fxmlDisplay = new FxmlDisplay();
fxmlDisplay.stageSelection("View/Main.fxml");
}
To return to the main.fxml or any fxml I have a method that I call:
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource(path));
Parent root = fxmlLoader.load();
Stage stage = new Stage();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.show();
In my case, I have a print button in my printreceipt.fxml file that prints the contents. Then it switches to the printpage.fxml ( i am able to switch to the page) But my problem is the printpage.fxml is supposed to be displayed only for 5 seconds and close. then it should go back to main.fxml. how and where do I call the hidethisPage() method?
#FXML
void printRandomTicket(ActionEvent event) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException, JRException, IOException, InterruptedException {
FxmlDisplay fxmlDisplay = new FxmlDisplay();
((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow().hide();
fxmlDisplay.stageSelection("/View/Dialogs/PrintingTicket.fxml");
GenerateTicket generateTicket = new GenerateTicket();
generateTicket.generateTicket();
PrintTicket printTicket = new PrintTicket();
printTicket.printTicket();
}
I hope this clarifies it.
I created a GridPane in my JFX Fluidon Designer and I'm trying to reference it in one of my java files.
More specifically, I'd like to programatically put it inside a Vbox with an Hbox I also created in Java. I'll post the code below, it might make more sense.
When I run this code, I get an error that my gridPane variable is null when I use it in the addAll method.
Thanks in advance!
public class MyProgram extends Application {
Label mStatus;
ImageView img_x;
ImageView img_o;
#FXML public GridPane gridPane;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
img_x = new ImageView("file:x.png");
img_o = new ImageView("file:o.png");
img_x.setUserData("X");
img_o.setUserData("O");
HBox hbox = new HBox();
hbox.getChildren().addAll(img_x, img_o);
VBox vbox = new VBox();
vbox.getChildren().addAll(hbox, gridPane);
root.setCenter(vbox);
I have a controller that opens a new stage as a popup:
#FXML
private void onClickPayments(ActionEvent event) throws IOException{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("ClientPayments.fxml"));
Parent root = (Parent) loader.load();
ClientPaymentsController controller = (ClientPaymentsController) loader.getController();
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
Stage stage = new Stage();
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.setOnCloseRequest((WindowEvent we) -> {
clientBLL.retrieve(clientID);
updateWarning();
});
stage.show();
controller.setClientID(clientID);
}
When the other stage is closed by the 'x' button the 'stage.setOnCloseRequest' is executed. But in that stage I have a button to close:
#FXML
private void onClickExit(ActionEvent event){
((Stage) ((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow()).close();
}
It closes, but the method 'stage.setOnCloseRequest' isn't being executed.
Is this method wrong or is there a way to close a popup in a way that acts exactly like the 'x' button in the window?
The setOnCloseRequest handler is executed when there is an external request to close the window (i.e. not one from your code). See the documentation.
If it's enough to execute that logic immediately after the window is closed, just use the regular onHidden handler instead:
stage.setOnHidden((WindowEvent we) -> {
clientBLL.retrieve(clientID);
updateWarning();
});
If you really need to use the onCloseRequest handler (e.g. because you might want to veto the close), just move your close logic to a method and invoke it from both types of request to close the window.
public void doClose() {
clientBLL.retrieve(clientID);
updateWarning();
}
#FXML
private void onClickExit(ActionEvent event){
doClose();
((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow().hide();
}
and
stage.setOnCloseRequest((WindowEvent we) -> {
controller.doClose();
});
I have Controller.java for Scene.fxml and ControllerSettings.java for WindowSettings.fxml. In Controller.java I create a new popup window (no dialog) with following method:
#FXML
public void handleSubmenuSettings(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
Stage stage;
Parent root;
ControllerSettings controller;
stage = new Stage();
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("WindowSettings.fxml"));
root = (Parent) loader.load();
controller = (ControllerSettings) loader.getController();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.setTitle("Settings");
stage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.initOwner(submenuSettings.getScene().getWindow());
stage.showAndWait();
stage.setOnCloseRequest(e -> {
e.consume();
controller.saveSettings();
stage.close();
});
}
I want to save the settings when closing the new popup window but that doesn't work with stage.setOnCloseRequest.
The showAndWait() method will block execution until the window has closed; i.e. subsequent statements will not be executed until after the window is closed. So you don't register the listener for the close request until after the window has been closed. Clearly, no request to close the window will occur after the window is closed, so your handler is never invoked.
It's not really clear why you are using a close request handler anyway. Presumably you simply want to call controller.saveSettings() after the window closes. Since you are using showAndWait() you can just do:
#FXML
public void handleSubmenuSettings(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
Stage stage;
Parent root;
ControllerSettings controller;
stage = new Stage();
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("WindowSettings.fxml"));
root = (Parent) loader.load();
controller = (ControllerSettings) loader.getController();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.setTitle("Settings");
stage.initModality(Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL);
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.initOwner(submenuSettings.getScene().getWindow());
stage.showAndWait();
controller.saveSettings();
}
I'm working with JavaFx and Scenebuilder and want create a local app for myself called "Taskplanner" in eclipse.
I created a new Stage and set it with a Scene (see Main.java). But not sure how to set a new Scene in the old stage (see Controller.java). Didnt also not find out if it is possible pass the signInButtonClicked()-Methode the "Stage primaryStage" over Scene Builder
Can anybody help ?
Controller.java:
#FXML
Button btnSignIn;
#FXML
public void signInButtonClicked() throws Exception
{
//Here I want call the new Scene(SignInGUI.fxml) in my old Stage
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("../view/SignInGUI.fxml"));
}
Main.java:
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception
{
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("../view/LoginGUI.fxml"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Taskplanner");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root,500,500));
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
You can get a reference to the Scene and Window from your button reference. From there, it's up to you to decide how to you want to show the new view.
Here's how you get those references:
Scene scene = btnSignIn.getScene();
Window window = scene.getWindow();
Stage stage = (Stage) window;
You can change the view by changing the root of your Scene:
FXMLLoader loader = ... // create and load() view
btnSignIn.getScene().setRoot(loader.getRoot());
Or you can change the entire Scene:
FXMLLoader loader = ... // create and load() view
Stage stage = (Stage) btnSignIn.getScene().getWindow();
Scene scene = new Scene(loader.getRoot());
stage.setScene(scene);
