Setting a Textfield in MainController through Controller Instance Reference in another file - java

Im trying to set the Text of a Textfield in my MainController from another file.
I read that this:
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("main.fxml"));
MainController mc = (MainController) loader.getController();
is how you're supposed to get a reference to the Controller Instance in Javafx. I tried to implement it, but it gives me a NullPointerException when trying to set the TextField.
Here is my Code:
Main.java:
package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
static MainController mc;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
try {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("main.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root,348,212);
scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setTitle("Flextime calculator");
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("assets/icon.png")));
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("main.fxml"));
mc = (MainController) loader.getController();
primaryStage.show();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
public static MainController getMc() {
return mc;
}
}
MainController.java:
public class MainController {
#FXML Label fxFlextime;
#FXML Label fxTotalFlextime;
#FXML TextField fxStarttime;
#FXML TextField fxEndtime;
#FXML TextField fxDailyWorktime;
#FXML TextField fxBreaktime;
#FXML TextField fxAddBreaktime;
#FXML TextField fxBreakGap;
#FXML CheckBox fxAddBreak;
//Create Model, Userconfig
Model model = new Model();
UserConfig config = new UserConfig();
public void initialize() {
config.initialize();
}
}
UserConfig.java:
public class UserConfig {
public void initialize() {
insertDefault();
}
void insertDefault() {
List<String> prefValues = getPreference();
//FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("main.fxml"));
//MainController mc = (MainController) loader.getController();
// ^Tried also putting it here to see wether im referencing the variable wrong or something,
// so maybe im getting the Controller wrong? With mc.fxStarttime.setText("") it also didnt work here
Main.mc.fxStarttime.setText("");
Main.mc.fxEndtime.setText(prefValues.get(2));
Main.mc.fxDailyWorktime.setText(prefValues.get(3));
Main.mc.fxBreaktime.setText(prefValues.get(4));
Main.mc.fxAddBreaktime.setText(prefValues.get(5));
Main.mc.fxBreakGap.setText(prefValues.get(6));
}
static List<String> getPreference() {
// This will define a node in which the preferences can be stored
Preferences userPrefs = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(Main.class);
try {
String[] keys = userPrefs.keys();
if (keys == null) {
userPrefs.put("DEFStarttime" , "1");
userPrefs.put("DEFEndtime" , "");
userPrefs.put("DEFDailyWorktime", "");
userPrefs.put("DEFBreaktime" , "");
userPrefs.put("DEFAddBreaktime" , "");
userPrefs.put("DEFBreakGap" , "");
}
} catch (BackingStoreException ex) {
System.err.println(ex);
}
List<String> prefValues = new ArrayList<String>();
prefValues.add(userPrefs.get("DEFStarttime" , ""));
prefValues.add(userPrefs.get("DEFEndtime" , ""));
prefValues.add(userPrefs.get("DEFDailyWorktime" , ""));
prefValues.add(userPrefs.get("DEFBreaktime" , ""));
prefValues.add(userPrefs.get("DEFAddBreaktime" , ""));
prefValues.add(userPrefs.get("DEFBreakGap" , ""));
/*
for(String string : prefValues) {
System.out.println(string);
}
*/
return prefValues;
}
}
The Error:

The reason why you are getting the NullPointerException is because the Main.mc is null at the point where you are trying to access it fields in UserConfig.
In the line where you load your main.fxml Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("main.fxml")); the initialize() method in the controller MainController is invoked and at that point you are invoking userConfig.initialize() which also make a backward reference to Main.mc which at that point is null.
You can make the config public in your MainController class and initialize user config after you set the mc field in the Main class. Or you can inject the MainController as parameter into the UserConfig initialize method.
Main.java
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("main.fxml"));
Parent root = (Parent) loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(root,348,212);
scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setTitle("Flextime calculator");
primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("assets/icon.png")));
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
mc = (MainController) loader.getController();
mc.config.initialize();
MainController.java
public UserConfig config = new UserConfig();
#FXML
public void initialize() {
//remove the config.initialize(); from here
}

BorderPane always return null value

I am dealing with JavaFX , I am trying to get my graphical composant from my FXML page into the java classes, but it always return null value
Page.fxml

<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<ScrollPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.172-ea" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="sample.Controller">

package sample;

System.out.println(Mycontent);
//Mycontent.setCenter(FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Demandeur.fxml")));
}
#Override

}
}
My code always print "null"
if I try for example Mycontent.getCenter()it gives me this error
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
(which normal because Mycontent is null, but why it is null? )
PS: my method goToDemandeur() is called into an other fxml page SideBar_Inhumer.fxml after a click onMouseClicked="#goToDemandeur"

when I am trying to add the listener at the end it is not working. I can't get any options for textfield when I do e_key_tb. and ctrl+space where it is supposed to give a drop down box with a bunch of suggestions ... I used the scene-builder to provide id and copied the controller skeliton from the scene-builder ... later when I'm trying to use the textfield it made me create getters and setters for all the textfields can you explain me y it s happening and I never used listeners before.

Here is a short demonstration of adding a listener to a TextField. This can also serve as an example for mcve for the issue:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.HBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TextField?>
<HBox prefHeight="75.0" prefWidth="150.0" alignment="CENTER"
xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.121" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="tests.Controler">
<children>
<TextField fx:id="msg_tb" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="100.0" style="-fx-background-radius: 10;" />
</children>
</HBox>
The controller :
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
public class Controler implements Initializable {
#FXML
private TextField msg_tb;
#Override
public void initialize(URL arg0, ResourceBundle arg1) {
msg_tb.textProperty().addListener((obs, oldText, newText) -> {
System.out.println("Text changed from "+ oldText +" to "+newText);
});
}
}
Test it:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class FxmlMain extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Pane root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("xml/FxmlMain.fxml"));
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args);}
}

JavaFx "BorderPane is not a valid type."

I'm having this error while following a tutorial:

I don't have any id's on the Fxml file and the tutorial's one doesn't have it either, i created FilmeOverview.fxml as AnchorPane and RootLayout as BorderPane, I tried changing the position of the method but it doesn't work, does anyone know how to fix this?

This is not a duplicate, changing the import doesn't fix it, i still get
Caused by: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at
[row,col]:[31,3]

You have a couple of issues:
The FXML doesn't have an import statement for javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane.
Your rootLayout.fxml file is invalid FXML. You close the BorderPane element with an AnchorPane tag.
You define the contents of the border pane as children, where they are supposed to be defined by position.
Sample valid FXML with the above issues fixed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<BorderPane prefHeight="500.0" prefWidth="800.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">
<top>
<MenuBar layoutY="2.0" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="800.0">
<menus>
<Menu mnemonicParsing="false" text="Arquivo">
<items>
<MenuItem mnemonicParsing="false" text="Fechar" />
</items>
</Menu>
<Menu mnemonicParsing="false" text="Editar">
<items>
<MenuItem mnemonicParsing="false" text="Deletar" />
</items>
</Menu>
<Menu mnemonicParsing="false" text="Ajuda">
<items>
<MenuItem mnemonicParsing="false" text="Sobre" />
</items>
</Menu>
</menus>
</MenuBar>
</top>
</BorderPane>
As an aside, I recommend downloading Gluon SceneBuilder and using that to edit your FXML.
Also note, some IDEs, such as IntelliJ, include code completion, type checking and syntax checking which would highlight many of the above errors in your document when you load the file into the IDE.

JavaFX and Scene Builder won't show Combo Box Options

I am having trouble displaying the combo box options in javafx and scene builder.
First I have tried to do use an array, which I guess does not work. I then tried to use an ObservableList<String> and create an instance of the combo box like
ComboBox combo = new ComboBox(list);
This still would not show the combobox options.

Any help would be appreciated! I am kind of new to this scene builder stuff and using javafx. I am just feeling my way around it. Thanks for the help!

Ok so i figured out the problem. I was creating a new instance of a combo box thus creating an empty one. Here is the method with the revised working code.
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
ObservableList<String> options =
FXCollections.observableArrayList(
"Option 1",
"Option 2",
"Option 3"
);
band.setItems(options);
}

Javafx program error when controller class is added

I'm building an application using JavaFx and scene builder, however everything works fine, except when I add the Controller class.
I get the following error:
Exception in Application start method Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception in Application start method at
com.sun.javafx.application.LauncherImpl.launchApplication1(LauncherImpl.java:875)

javafx.fxml.LoadException:
/C:/Users/M%20ROSE/Documents/Info%20Trivia/out/production/Info%20Trivia/sample/gameScene1.fxml:15
However the moment I remove the fx:controller attribute from this line in my fxml code it works perfectly.

You controller have to implement Initializable, Try with the following :
public class Controller implement Initializable{
//Initialize fxml controls
#FXML
public Button trueButton;
#FXML
public Button falseButton;
#FXML
public Label playerLabel;
#FXML
public Label questionLabel;
#FXML
public Label scoreValue;
#FXML
public ImageView questionImage;
#FXML
public Rectangle redBar;
#FXML
public Rectangle greenBar;
//Create array for level 1 questions
String[][] levelOneData = {
{"This is a Sequence Diagram","f", null},
{"This diagram is for a database","t", null},
{"This is a rack diagram","t", null},
{"This is a flow chart","f", null},
{"This is a kind of UML diagram","t", null}
};
Image[] levelOneImages = new Image[] {
new Image("res/images/l1q1.png"),
new Image("res/images/l1q2.png"),
new Image("res/images/l1q3.png"),
new Image("res/images/l1q4.png"),
new Image("res/images/l1q5.png")
};
public void levelOneInitializer(){
questionLabel.setText(levelOneData[0][0]);
questionImage.setImage(levelOneImages[0]);
System.out.println("done");
}
}
