Populating ComboBox with JAVA FX MVC - model-view-controller

I need to populate JAVAFX ComboBox with value using an MVC but somehow i cant get the combobox to work. Please help me,,
LoginController.java
package weltes.finance.controller;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.ComboBox;
/**
* Created by engineering09 on 12/18/2015.
*/
public class LoginController {
#FXML private ComboBox userComboBox;
#FXML private void fillComboBox(){
userComboBox.getItems().addAll("Item1", "Item2");
}
}
loginscreen.fxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="163.0" prefWidth="357.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.40" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="weltes.finance.controller.LoginController">
<children>
<ComboBox fx:id="userComboBox" layoutX="15.0" layoutY="14.0" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="328.0" promptText="Select Registered User" />
<PasswordField layoutX="15.0" layoutY="56.0" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="328.0" promptText="Enter Password" />
<Button layoutX="15.0" layoutY="97.0" mnemonicParsing="false" prefHeight="51.0" prefWidth="328.0" text="Button" />
</children>
</AnchorPane>

First list the items in the FXML.
<ComboBox fx:id="userComboBox" editable="false" layoutX="14.0" layoutY="22.0" onAction="#setTimeMultiplier">
<items>
<FXCollections fx:factory="observableArrayList">
<String fx:value="Item 1" />
<String fx:value="Item 2" />
<String fx:value="Item 3" />
</FXCollections>
</items>
</ComboBox>
Then add or remove items from the ObservableArrayList.
userComboBox.getItems().removeAll(comboTime.getItems());
userComboBox.getItems().addAll(...);

How to load an fxml file from a controller that is linked to a different fxml file?

I am building a JavaFX which has two windows: a signin window and a register window. The fxml file of the former has a "username" label and text field, a "password" label and text field, a "signin" button, a "close" button and a hyperlink that reads "or create a new user". I want that when users click on the hyperlink, a registration window pop-up with labels and text fields asking for the user to enter a user name, password, first name, etc.
I have a Login.fxml file and a LoginController.java file for the sign in window. And for the registration window I have a CreateUser.fxml file and a CreateUSerController.java file.
My problem is how to load the CreateUser.fxml file (and make the registration window pop-up) from the LoginController.java file. I handle the clicking on the "or create a new user" hyperlink event in LoginController.java, and basically the result I expect of the handling is to make the registration window to pop-up. I get a runtime error.
When I click on the "or create a new user" hyperlink in the login window I get the following error: The Eclipse debugger says "Thread[JavaFX Application Thread](Suspended(uncaught exception RuntimeException))". Also, when I check the value of the variables during execution there is a "runWithoutRenderLock() is throwing", and its value is RuntimeException. Also says that its cause is a "InvocationTargetException", and that the cause of this exception is a "null". Also, a "QuantumToolkit.class" tab appears in eclipse with the message "Source not found" "The JAR file ... has no source attachment". It also has a clickable button that reads "Attach source"
To load "CreateUser.fxml" from "LoginController.java" I used a handler which tries to load the fxml file with this line of code: "root = FXMLLoader.<Parent>load(CreateUserController.class.getResource("CreateUser.fxml"));". Here is where the exception occurs
Please find below my Main class which is where I load the "Login.fxml" file, the "Login.fxml", "LoginController.java", "CreateUser.fxml" and CreateUSerController.java files. Also, an image of my file structure.

First of all, I personally prefer to instantiate a new FXMLLoader instance to load a fxml file. Then you can also specify a location and some other kind of stuff like a controller factory.
You can lookup the setter methods here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/fxml/FXMLLoader.html
But in this case your only mistake is that you load the fxml from the wrong class location.
When you use "CreateUserController.class.getResource("CreateUser.fxml")", it will try to find the fxml file in the same directory like the class. You have to use another path like you did before with the login fxml file. ("/view/CreateUser.fxml")
I hope that helps.

Update all names of FXML files to staring with uppercase
Add list of all classnames as classobfuscationdictionary
Additional information, i have preloader of application (single fxml with logo and loadning bar) and it's working. Problem is when im trying load main window of app where fxml contain include tags.

Problem is causing by imports in fxml file from outside of the javax package. To fix this we have to:
Check below checkbox:
And add imports as "keep"
with methods and fields and two stars**:

It works fine in windows while in mac when I launch the app the app window does not appear as expected but it appears as a small window on the top left corner.
The similar issue is appearing with the progress dialog which I am using it works fine in Windows but in mac(OS X) when the app is expanded like when app window size is maximum the progress dialog is also covering the whole display screen while I have given fixed size to scene window.
This is my progress bar code:-
public ProgressBar startProgressBar() {
primaryStage = new Stage();
ProgressBar pb = new ProgressBar(0);
//ProgressIndicator pi = new ProgressIndicator(0);
//pi.progressProperty().bind(pb.progressProperty());
HBox hb = new HBox();
hb.setSpacing(5);
hb.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
hb.getChildren().addAll(pb);
Scene scene = new Scene(hb, 300, 100);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setTitle("Downloading Build...");
primaryStage.show();
return pb;
}
I am able find the solution for the first issue that can be solved my fixing the minHight and minWidth of the anchor panel to some value in fxml file instead of infinity but I am still not able to find the solution for the second issue.

How to pass a value to fxml scene

I'm making this javaFX application, but in a given moment i wanna get the text exibited in the scene from a method in anothe class, how can i pass this value to my text box in the FXML doccument?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.effect.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.image.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.*?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="600.0" prefWidth="800.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.72" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="com.crapgames.calourosimulator.views.pcna.intro.Introduction">
<children>
<ImageView fx:id="imgClick" fitHeight="600.0" fitWidth="800.0" onMouseClicked="#nextScene" pickOnBounds="true">
<image>
<Image url="#../../assets/pnca-monitor-text.png" />
</image>
</ImageView>
<Text fx:id="text1" fill="#f5eded" layoutX="8.0" layoutY="452.0" strokeType="OUTSIDE" strokeWidth="0.0" text="where i want my string variable" wrappingWidth="787.0">
<font>
<Font name="Comic Sans MS" size="25.0" />
</font></Text>
</children>
</AnchorPane>
Create a method in the controller class to accept the text value. You can leverage the textProperty of the Text if you want:
public class Introduction {
#FXML
private Text text1 ;
public StringProperty textProperty() {
return text1.textProperty();
}
public final void setText(String text) {
textProperty().set(text);
}
public final String getText() {
return textProperty().get();
}
// existing code ...
}
Now you can do:
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("path/to/fxml/file.fxml"));
Parent root = loader.load();
Introduction controller = loader.getController();
controller.setText("Hello World!");
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
// etc...

How to make a resizable SplitPane within a Tab in JavaFX 2.0 (preferably using SceneBuilder and/or FXML)?

The question basically says it all, with the caveat that I'm a newbie to GUI design in general and JavaFX in particular. To reproduce in SceneBuilder, drag a TabPane onto the scene, and drag a SplitPane into the first tab's AnchorPane. Adjust (drag) the size of the SplitPane to match the the size of the tab. This is not a problem if the SplitPane is not a child (I only tested it as a (grand)child of a Tab so far). You'll have something like this:
Upon preview, if you try to expand the window size by dragging, the SplitPane won't resize:
Here is the FXML I get from SceneBuilder, using the process described at the top of this post with perhaps a few minor changes that didn't help:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<TabPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" tabClosingPolicy="UNAVAILABLE" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8">
<tabs>
<Tab text="Untitled Tab 1">

<AnchorPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="0.0" minWidth="0.0" prefHeight="386.0" prefWidth="613.0">

</SplitPane>
</children></AnchorPane>

</Tab>
<Tab text="Untitled Tab 2">

<AnchorPane minHeight="0.0" minWidth="0.0" prefHeight="180.0" prefWidth="200.0" />

</Tab>
</tabs>
</TabPane>
The problem is that your SplitPane is a child of an AnchorPane. In case you have something under AnchorPane, it is anchored to specific co-ordinates. To allow the child to take up the whole are, you need to specify the AnchorPane's anchor to zero.
<TabPane maxHeight="-Infinity" maxWidth="-Infinity" minHeight="-Infinity" minWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" tabClosingPolicy="UNAVAILABLE" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8">
<tabs>
....
<SplitPane dividerPositions="0.29797979797979796" maxHeight="-Infinity"
maxWidth="-Infinity" prefHeight="358.0" prefWidth="600.0"
AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0"
AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0">
....
</tabs>
</TabPane>
Using scene-builder, you can assign the AnchorPane Constraints by:
Select the child under AnchorPane
Move to Layout section on the right hand side panel
You will see a section called AnchorPane constraints, just type in the four section values and save
