I am working on a Xamarin Forms project and need to achieve the following:
On Navigating from Home Page to a new Page, the new page will have a menu button, some text fields and a signature button. When we click on Menu Button, a menu page should slide down. The slide menu page should have a navigation bar and should be able to navigate to other sub menu options.
The slide menu page should overlap current content page. Is there any way to achieve it ?
Slide menu will just be determined by what packages you want to use or if you want to create animations with ResourceDictionary/VisualStateManager but to get it to be half the size of the page dynamically you can use something like:
XAML:
<Page x:Name="Page" HeightRequest="{Binding PageHeight, Mode=TwoWay}"></Page>
<Menu x:Name="Menu" HeightRequest="{Binding MenuHeight}"></Menu>
XAML.CS:
public class YourPage : YourType //(ContentViews for me)
private YourViewModel ViewModel => (YourViewModel)this.BindingContext;
public YourPage()
{
this.BindingContext = YourVM;
}
VM.CS:
public class YourViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
private double _pageHeight;
public double PageHeight
{
set
{
if (_pageHeight != value)
{
_pageHeight = value;
OnPropertyChanged("PageHeight");
PageHeightChanged("PageHeight");
}
}
get
{
return _pageHeight;
}
}
private double _menuHeight;
public double MenuHeight
{
set
{
if (_menuHeight != value)
{
_menuHeight = value;
OnPropertyChanged("MenuHeight");
}
}
get
{
return _menuHeight;
}
}
private void PageHeightChanged()
{
Menu.HeightRequest = Page.Height/2;
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}
So I have been experimenting with it a litle bit with javaFX and I came across some rather weird behavior which might be linked to the TableView#edit() method.
I'll post a working example on the bottom of this post again, so you can see what exactually is happening on which cell (debuging included!).
I'll try to explain all the behavior myself, though its way easier to see it for yourself. Basically the events are messed up when using the TableView#edit() method.
1:
If you are using the contextMenu to add a new item, the keyEvents for the the keys 'escape' and 'Enter' (and propably the arrow keys, though I dont use them right now) are consumed before they fire the events on the Cells (e.g. textField and cell KeyEvents!) Though it is firing the keyEvent on the Parent node. (the AnchorPane in this case).
Now I know for a fact that these keys are captured and consumed by the contextMenu default behavior. Though it shouldn't be happening since the contextMenu is already hidden after the new item is added. further more the textField should recieve the events, especially when it is focused!
2:
When you use the button at the bottom of the TableView to add a new Item, The keyEvents are fired on the Parent node (the AnchorPane) and the Cell. Though the textField (even when focused) recieve no keyEvents at all. I cannot explain why the TextField wouldn't recieve any event even when typed in, so I assume that would definitely be a bug?
3:
When editing a cell through double click, it updates the editingCellProperty of the TableView correctly (which I check for several times). Though when start editing though the contextMenu Item (which only calls startEdit() for testpurpose) It doesnt update the editing state correctly! Funny enough it allows the keyEvents to continue as usual, unlike situation 1 & 2.
4:
When you edit an item, and then add an item (either way will cause this problem) it will update the editingCellProperty to the current cell, though when stop editing, it somehow revert back to the last Cell?!? Thats the part where funny things are happening, which I really cannot explain.
Note that the startEdit() & cancelEdit() methods are called in weird moments, and on the wrong Cells!
Right now I dont understand any of this logic. If this is intended behavior, some explanation of it would be greatly appreciated!

I hope somebody could help me further with this. If you have suggestions/solutions or workarounds for this, please let me know!
Thanks for your time!
This is kind of the poster child for Josh Bloch's "Inheritance breaks Encapsulation" mantra. What I mean by that is that when you create a subclass of an existing class (TableCell in this case), you need to know a lot about the implementation of that class in order to make the subclass play nicely with the superclass. You make a lot of assumptions in your code about the interaction between the TableView and its cells that are not true, and that (along with some bugs and general weird implementations of event handling in some controls) is why your code is breaking.
I don't think I can address every single issue, but I can give some general pointers here and provide what I think is working code that achieves what you are trying to achieve.
First, cells are reused. This is a good thing, because it makes the table perform very efficiently when there is a large amount of data, but it makes it complicated. The basic idea is that cells are essentially only created for the visible items in the table. As the user scrolls around, or as the table content changes, cells that are no longer needed are reused for different items that become visible. This massively saves on memory consumption and CPU time (if used properly). In order to be able to improve the implementation, the JavaFX team deliberately don't specify how this works, and how and when cells are likely to be reused. So you have to be careful about making assumptions about the continuity of the item or index fields of a cell (and conversely, which cell is assigned to a given item or index), particularly if you change the structure of the table.
What you are basically guaranteed is:
Any time the cell is reused for a different item, the updateItem() method is invoked before the cell is rendered.
Any time the index of the cell changes (which may be because an item is inserted in the list, or may be because the cell is reused, or both), the updateIndex() method is invoked before the cell is rendered.
However, note that in the case where both change, there is no guarantee of the order in which these are invoked. So, if your cell rendering depends on both the item and the index (which is the case here: you check both the item and the index in your updateItem(...) method), you need to ensure the cell is updated when either of those properties change. The best way (imo) to achieve this is to create a private method to perform the update, and to delegate to it from both updateItem() and updateIndex(). This way, when the second of those is invoked, your update method is invoked with consistent state.
If you change the structure of the table, say by adding a new row, the cells will need to be rearranged, and some of them are likely to be reused for different items (and indexes). However, this rearrangement only happens when the table is laid out, which by default will not happen until the next frame rendering. (This makes sense from a performance perspective: imagine you make 1000 different changes to a table in a loop; you don't want the cells to be recalculated on every change, you just want them recalculated once the next time the table is rendered to the screen.) This means, if you add rows to the table, you cannot rely on the index or item of any cell being correct. This is why your call to table.edit(...) immediately after adding a new row is so unpredictable. The trick here is to force a layout of the table by calling TableView.layout() after adding the row.
Note that pressing "Enter" when a table cell is focused will cause that cell to go into editing mode. If you handle commits on the text field in a cell with a key released event handler, these handlers will interact in an unpredictable way. I think this is why you see the strange key handling effects you see (also note that text fields consume the key events they process internally). The workaround for that is to use an onAction handler on the text field (which is arguably more semantic anyway).
Don't make the button static (I have no idea why you would want to do this anyway). "Static" means that the button is a property of the class as a whole, not of the instances of that class. So in this case, all the cells share a reference to a single button. Since the cell reuse mechanism is unspecified, you don't know that only one cell will have the button set as its graphic. This can cause disaster. For example, if you scroll the cell with the button out of view and then back into view, there is no guarantee the same cell will be used to display that last item when it comes back into view. It is possible (I don't know the implementation) that the cell that previously displayed the last item is sitting unused (perhaps part of the virtual flow container, but clipped out of view) and is not updated. In that case, the button would then appear twice in the scene graph, which would either throw an exception or cause unpredictable behavior. There's basically no valid reason to ever make a scene graph node static, and here it's a particularly bad idea.
To code functionality like this, you should read extensively the documentation for the cell mechanism and for TableView, TableColumn, and TableCell. At some point you might find you need to dig into the source code to see how the provided cell implementations work.
Here's (I think, I'm not sure I've fully tested) a working version of what I think you were looking for. I made some slight changes to the structure (no need for StringPropertys as the data type, String works just fine as long as you have no identical duplicates), added an onEditCommit handler, etc.

My big learn item of the day (freely summarized and slightly extended from James' answer):
view.edit(...) is safe to call only if all cells are in a stable state and the target cell is visible. Most of the time we can force the stable state by calling view.layout()
Below is yet another example to play with:
as already mentioned in one of my comments, it differs from James' in starting the edit in a listener to the items: might not always be the best place, has the advantage of a single location (at least as far as list mutations are involved) for the layout call. A drawback is that we need to be certain that the viewSkin's listener to the items is called before ours. To guarantee that, our own listener is re/registered whenever the skin changes.
as an exercise in re-use, I extended TextFieldTableCell to additionally handle the button/menu and update the cell's editability based on the row item.
there are also buttons outside the table to experiment with: addAndEdit and scrollAndEdit. The latter is to demonstrate that "instable cell state" can be reached by paths different from modifying the items.
Currently, I tend to subclass TableView and override its edit(...) to force the re-layout. Something like:
public static class TTableView<S> extends TableView<S> {
/**
* Overridden to force a layout before calling super.
*/
#Override
public void edit(int row, TableColumn<S, ?> column) {
layout();
super.edit(row, column);
}
}
Doing, relieves the burden on client code. What's left for them is to make sure the target cell is scrolled into the visible area, though.
The example:
public class TablePersonAddRowAndEdit extends Application {
private PersonStandIn standIn = new PersonStandIn();

Update
shouldn't have been too surprised - a related problem was discussed half a year ago (and produced a bug report)
i have a lot of HBoxes with some different components inside ( RadioButton, Labels, Buttons ...).
The RadioButtons are in a ToggleGroup, so only 1 Radio Button can be selected.
I want to add a OnChange - Event to the Radio Button. If the RadioButton would be unselected there should be a Event-Trigger. How can i add the Event to the Radio-Button?
At the moment i have a code like this, but it doesn't have the function i want to have.
radio.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
if(!radio.isSelected()){
ivTriangleImg.setRotate(iRotateCoord2);
btnTriangle.setGraphic(ivTriangleImg);
}
if(group!=null){
group.selectedToggleProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Toggle>() {
#Override
public void changed(
ObservableValue<? extends Toggle> arg0,
Toggle arg1, Toggle arg2) {
}
});
}
}
});
I use JavaFX 2.0 and Java 1.7 so i can not use Lambda Functions or the special component functions of JavaFx8 / Java 1.8
The state of JavaFX controls is represented by observable properties. You can access these properties with control.propertyNameProperty() and add ChangeListeners to them:
radioButton.selectedProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> obs, Boolean wasPreviouslySelected, Boolean isNowSelected) {
if (isNowSelected) {
// ...
} else {
// ...
}
}
});
radio.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
#Override
public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
if(!radio.isSelected()){
ivTriangleImg.setRotate(iRotateCoord2);
btnTriangle.setGraphic(ivTriangleImg);
}
if(group!=null){
group.selectedToggleProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Toggle>() {
#Override
public void changed(
ObservableValue<? extends Toggle> arg0,
Toggle arg1, Toggle arg2) {
if(!radio.isSelected()&&ivTriangleImg.getRotate()!=iRotateCoord1){
ivTriangleImg.setRotate(iRotateCoord1);
btnTriangle.setGraphic(ivTriangleImg);
}
}
});
}
}
});
This would work for my Question. I have done a little mistake, so i don't check the Radio-Style. It works fine now... Sorry for this Question.
Is there a possibility to check the Event at the Radio Button and not at his group?
In case you have many radio buttons you dont want have a single EventHandlers for each one of them....
Here is an example with 6 radio buttons but just one ChangeListener where the events are all process in a centralized method.
This detects programatic events, keyboard events and mouse events
Note that the listener is added to the ToggleGroup
public class ReportOptionsPane extends BorderPane implements ChangeListener<Toggle> {
RadioButton radioFoldersOnly ;
RadioButton radioAllItems ;
RadioButton radioArtifactsOnly ;
RadioButton radioStatsOrderByOccurrence ;
RadioButton radioStatsOrderByName ;
public ReportOptionsPane(ReportOptions rep) {
super() ;

Currently I'm working with action bar tabs they are shown perfectly with 4.1 device but when i run on same screen size in lower version 4.0 then the action bar tabs are shown as "ActionBar spinner navigation"
I want them to be shown like this one:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ParseAnalytics.trackAppOpened(getIntent());
ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
if(currentUser == null) {
navigateToLogin();
} else {
Log.i(TAG, currentUser.getUsername());
}
final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
//actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
mSectionPargerAdapter = new SectionPargerAdapter(this, getSupportFragmentManager());
mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionPargerAdapter);
mViewPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener(){
#Override
public void onPageSelected(int position) {
actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
for (int i = 0; i < mSectionPargerAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
// Create a tab with text corresponding to the page title defined by
// the adapter. Also specify this Activity object, which implements
// the TabListener interface, as the callback (listener) for when
// this tab is selected.
actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab()
.setText( mSectionPargerAdapter.getPageTitle(i))
.setTabListener(MainActivity.this));}
}
});
}
#Override
public void onTabSelected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
mViewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
}
#Override
public void onTabReselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
#Override
public void onTabUnselected(ActionBar.Tab tab, FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction) {
}
This is optimization done by system. The second view is called stacked action bar and first is called action bar with spinner. You can achieve what you want by first adding all tabs and then setting the mode of action bar as
setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS)
When exiting a JavaFX program I'm overriding Application.stop() in order to check for unsaved changes. This works okay, but it would be nice to give the user the option to cancel the operation.
Application.stop() is last-chance-saloon in other words although it does trap the exit, it's a bit late to revoke the exit process.
Better is to set a listener for the close request which can be cancelled by consuming the event.
In the application class:
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
FXMLLoader ldr = new FXMLLoader(getClass()
.getResource("Application.fxml"));
Parent root = (Parent) ldr.load();
appCtrl = (ApplicationController) ldr.getController();
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
scene.getWindow().setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
public void handle(WindowEvent ev) {
if (!appCtrl.shutdown()) {
ev.consume();
}
}
});
}
and then in the application controller, referenced as appCtrl above:
/** reference to the top-level pane */
#FXML
private AnchorPane mainAppPane;
public boolean shutdown() {
if (model.isChanged()) {
DialogResult userChoice =
ConfirmDialog.showYesNoCancelDialog("Changes Detected",
"Do you want to save the changes? Cancel revokes the "
+ "exit request.",
mainAppPane.getScene().getWindow());
if (userChoice == DialogResult.YES) {
fileSave(null);
if (model.isChanged()) {
// cancelled out of the save, so return to the app
return false;
}
}
return userChoice == DialogResult.NO;
}
return true;
}
noting: mainAppPane is referenced in the FXML ( using the JavaFX Scene Builder in this case ) to allow access to the scene and window; the dialog is one extended from https://github.com/4ntoine/JavaFxDialog and fileSave is the event handler for File -> Save menu item. For the File -> Exit menu item:
#FXML
private void fileExitAction(ActionEvent ev) {
if (shutdown()) {
Platform.exit();
}
}
Hope this helps someone!
