How to get the controller of an included FXML?

I have a simple two tab application build around JavaFXML and scenebuilder. The tabs do nothing at present because I cannot get past a nullpointer exception when trying to load them.
The java and fxml files are arranged in a Netbeans project like this:
Main Application: The application main class MainApp.java sets the scene and is declared as follows:
package tabpane;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javafx.application.Application;
import static javafx.application.Application.launch;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.stage.StageStyle;
public class MainApp extends Application {
private static Stage primaryStage;
private AnchorPane rootLayout;
public MainApp() {}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
MainApp.primaryStage = primaryStage;
MainApp.primaryStage.setTitle("Account Names");
initRootLayout();
}
public void initRootLayout() {
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(MainApp.class.getResource("view/MainView.fxml"));
rootLayout = (AnchorPane) loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(rootLayout);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
} catch (IOException e) {
Logger.getLogger(MainApp.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, e);
System.out.println("MainApp: IOException in method: initRootLayout" + e.getMessage());
System.exit(0);
}
}
public Stage getPrimaryStage() {
return primaryStage;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
The MainController class declares the two tabs, the Input tab and Account tab, for the application and an exit button for closing the program. This is the MainView. fxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Tab?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TabPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="tabpane1.view.MainController">
<children>
<TabPane fx:id="tabPane" prefHeight="345.0" prefWidth="600.0" style="-fx-background-color: blue;" tabClosingPolicy="UNAVAILABLE">
<tabs>
<Tab fx:id="inputTab" closable="false" text="Input">
<content>
<fx:include source="InputView.fxml" />
</content>
</Tab>
<Tab fx:id="detailTab" closable="false" text="Detail">
<content>
<fx:include source="DetailView.fxml" />
</content>
</Tab>
</tabs>
</TabPane>
<Button fx:id="exitBtn" layoutX="529.0" layoutY="355.0" mnemonicParsing="false" onAction="#handleExitBtn" text="Exit" />
</children>
</AnchorPane>
This is the java controller class for the main view contained in MainController.java:
package tabpane1.view;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Tab;
import javafx.scene.control.TabPane;
public class MainController implements Initializable {
#FXML public TabPane tabPane;
#FXML public Tab inputTab;
#FXML public Tab accountTab;
#FXML private Button exitBtn;
public DetailController detailController;
public InputController inputController;
#Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
detailController = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("DetailView.fxml")).getController();
// System.out.println(detailController.getClass());
inputController = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("InputView.fxml")).getController();
// System.out.println(inputController.getClass());
}
#FXML private void handleExitBtn() {
System.exit(0);
}
}
The two println statements are simply trying to get the references to the two tabs, which are detailController and inputController, to do something. However, when these are uncommented and run, the following dump is output:
MainApp: IOException in method: initRootLayout
SEVERE: null

When the printlns are commented out, the outcome is as expected, that is the tab pane is correctly displayed:
As mentioned the detail and input controllers are empty, but for completeness they are as follows:
InputView.fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="tabpane1.view.InputController">
</AnchorPane>
The controller InputController.java:
package tabpane1.view;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
public class InputController implements Initializable {
#Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {}
}
DetailView.fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="400.0" prefWidth="600.0" style="-fx-background-color: transparent;" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.171" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="tabpane1.view.DetailController" />
The controller DetailController.java:
package tabpane1.view;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
public class InputController implements Initializable {
#Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {}
}

The way to get reference to the controller of an embedded FXML is described in this article.
You simply have to give an fx:id to the included resource:
<fx:include fx:id="IncludedView" source="InputView.fxml" />
Get a reference to IncludedView in the MainController:
#FXML private Parent IncludedView;
Get a reference to its controller simply by appending the word Controller in addition to the variable name of the embedded element:
#FXML private InputController IncludedViewController;
That is all.
Test it with:
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
public class MainController implements Initializable {
#FXML private Parent IncludedView;
#FXML private InputController IncludedViewController; // $IncludedView;+Controller
#Override
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) {
System.out.println(IncludedView.getClass());
System.out.println(IncludedViewController.getClass() );
}
#FXML private void handleExitBtn() {
System.exit(0);
}
}

Two problems exist:
1)The File path
2)The Controller was not set properly
Recommendation:
If you are using SceneBuilder, when you want to see what your controller might look like, you can go to View -> Show Sample Controller Skeleton.
Solution
Main class:
package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
try {
System.out.println(getClass().getResource("anwendung.fxml").getPath());
//other solution
//FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("anwendung.fxml"));
//Parent root = loader.load();
//Keep in mind that you are calling a static method
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("anwendung.fxml"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Benutzerverwaltung");
root.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
primaryStage.show();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Controller:
package application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
public class AnwendungsController {
#FXML
private Button closeButton;
#FXML
void handleCloseButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
}
#FXML
void onMouseClickedCancelBtn(MouseEvent event) {
}
}

Java Fx, Edit the textarea of a specific tab

Well, my question is simple.
I am building an application with Java Fx, and I have a TabPane.
When I open a new Tab, that Tab gets it's content by a fxml file.
tab.setContent((Node)FXMLLoader.load(this.getClass().getResource("/main/textEditor.fxml")))
Fine, that works well, it always loads the same file on all Tabs, so, all textarea on all tabs have the same id.
The problem is, with java, I can only get the information of the textarea of the first Tab.
How can i edit specifically the textarea of one tab in particular?
An example of what i want to do :
Main
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.geometry.Rectangle2D;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Screen;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Application.launch(Main.class, args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/tabPane/test.fxml"));
Screen screen = Screen.getPrimary();
Rectangle2D bounds = screen.getVisualBounds();
stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
stage.show();
}
}

controller.java
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
public class controller implements Initializable{
#FXML
private TextArea textarea;
#Override
public void initialize(URL arg0, ResourceBundle arg1) {
}
public void test(ActionEvent event){
textarea.appendText("Text");
}
}
There are two tabs on this example, when the button is pressed, I want to add the text on the current selected tab.

There are a few different ways to do this. One way is to let the controller for the tab content expose the textProperty from the text area. Then in your "main controller", create a StringProperty field. When you create a new tab, just observe its selected property and update the string property field to point to the one from the current controller. Then you can easily load text into the "current" pane.
Here's a simple example of this:
EditorController:
import javafx.beans.property.StringProperty;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
public class EditorController {
#FXML
private TextArea textArea ;
public StringProperty textProperty() {
return textArea.textProperty() ;
}
}
with textEditor.fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TextArea?>
<BorderPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="EditorController">
<center>
<TextArea fx:id="textArea"/>
</center>
</BorderPane>
And then the MainController could look like:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import javafx.beans.property.StringProperty;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.control.Alert;
import javafx.scene.control.Alert.AlertType;
import javafx.scene.control.Tab;
import javafx.scene.control.TabPane;
import javafx.stage.FileChooser;
public class MainController {
#FXML
private TabPane tabPane ;
private StringProperty currentText ;
public void initialize() throws IOException {
// load an initial tab:
newTab();
}
#FXML
private void newTab() throws IOException {
Tab tab = new Tab("Untitled text");
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("textEditor.fxml"));
tab.setContent(loader.load());
EditorController controller = loader.getController() ;
tab.selectedProperty().addListener((obs, wasSelected, isNowSelected) -> {
if (isNowSelected) {
currentText = controller.textProperty();
}
});
tabPane.getTabs().add(tab);
tabPane.getSelectionModel().select(tab);
}
#FXML
private void load() {
FileChooser chooser = new FileChooser();
File file = chooser.showOpenDialog(tabPane.getScene().getWindow());
if (file != null) {
Path path = file.toPath();
try {
currentText.set(String.join("\n", Files.readAllLines(path)));
} catch (IOException e) {
Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.ERROR);
alert.setContentText("Unable to load file "+path);
alert.setTitle("Load error");
alert.showAndWait();
}
tabPane.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem().setText(path.getFileName().toString());
}
}
}
with main.fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.HBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TabPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<BorderPane xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="MainController">
<center>
<TabPane fx:id="tabPane"/>
</center>
<bottom>
<HBox alignment="CENTER" spacing="5">
<padding>
<Insets top="5" right="5" left="5" bottom="5" />
</padding>
<Button text="Load..." onAction="#load" />
<Button text="New" onAction="#newTab"/>
</HBox>
</bottom>
</BorderPane>
For completeness, a simple application class:
import java.io.IOException;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws IOException {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("main.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 800);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
There are other approaches, e.g. you could just change the button's onAction property when the tab selection changes, etc.

Can't get anything to show up in my JavaFX using an FXML document

So I've been following a tutorial for JavaFX and I used SceneBuilder to make a FXML view for my application. However, I can't seem to get anything to show up when I run the application - what am I doing wrong? I get no exceptions, adn the code compiles and runs fine. Here's my code.
import java.io.IOException;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Driver extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("interface.fxml"));
Pane root=null;
try {
root = (Pane) loader.load();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setTitle("Wiki Scraper");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
Here is interace.fxml:

import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.TextField;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Slider;
public class TestGuiController {
private int buttonPressed = 0;
#FXML
private Button tlacitko;
#FXML
private TextField textovePole;
#FXML
private Slider slider;
public void buttonPressed(ActionEvent e) {
buttonPressed++;
textovePole.setText(Integer.toString(buttonPressed));
}
}
this fxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane?>
<AnchorPane prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="200.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="cz.vutbr.feec.bmds.cv2.TestGuiController">
<children>
<Button fx:id="tlacitko" layoutX="30.0" layoutY="40.0" mnemonicParsing="false" onTouchPressed="#buttonPressed" text="Button" />
<Slider fx:id="slider" layoutX="157.0" layoutY="17.0" orientation="VERTICAL" />
<TextField fx:id="textovePole" layoutX="14.0" layoutY="89.0" prefWidth="134.0" />
</children>
</AnchorPane>
and this is my main class:
package cz.vutbr.feec.bmds.cv2;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("TestGui.fxml"));
primaryStage.setTitle("Titulek");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root,300,275));
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
When I run this through ant I get message box with error (exception during running application). I tried simple fxml without controller and it works so I am guesing I do something wrong with controller. What I must change to have it working?

I must answer my own question. Problem was in TestGuiController where I used java.awt.Button and java.awt.TextField instead of javafx.scene.control.Button and javafx.scene.control.TextField.

I'm not 100% sure but try:
in FXML: Button: onAction instead of onTouchPressed
Please provide the exact Exception message.
