JavaFX Iterate through TableView cells (row wise) and set background color - tableview

Question

I have 31 columns(day 1-day 31) and 12(monthnames) rows on my tableview. I want to search complete table (row wise search) for a data(day) and need to set a background color only for that matching cell.I could see that it is possible to set background color for a cell in a particular column using cellfactory function.
birthdayColumn.setCellFactory(column -> {
return new TableCell<Person, LocalDate>() {
#Override
protected void updateItem(LocalDate item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (item == null || empty) {
setText(null);
setStyle("");
}
// Style all dates in March with a different color.
if (item. == Month.MARCH) {
setTextFill(Color.CHOCOLATE);
setStyle("-fx-background-color: yellow");
} else {
setTextFill(Color.BLACK);
setStyle("");
}
};
});
Here it checking only one column named 'birthdayColumn'.But in my case it should check all the table cells(rowwise) in one single method and need to set a background color only for that matching cell.How i can do that.Thank you in advance

Answer 1

This should work:
LocalDate myBirthday = null; //initialize with the date you need to highlight
birthdayColumn.setCellFactory(column -> {
return new TableCell<Person, LocalDate>() {
#Override
protected void updateItem(LocalDate item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (item == null || empty) {
setText(null);
setGraphic(null);
}
else {
setText(item.toString());
setGraphic(null);
if (item.equals(myBirthday)) {
setTextFill(Color.CHOCOLATE);
setStyle("-fx-background-color: yellow");
}
else {
setTextFill(Color.BLACK);
setStyle("");
}
}
}};
});
