I want to load the TreeView defined in my FXML file into a TreeView variable in my java code.
But always when I try it the TreeView is NULL.
I looked everywhere, Google, so many questions and answers here but nothing worked out.
I need the TreeView to add dynamicly TreeItems to it.

And here for the Controller Class where I try to get the TreeView src/rn.IconTool.model IconOverviewControllerClass:

I hope someone of you can help me
If you need the other classes to build the complete program then ask but I hope you have some ideas that the TreeView is not null ;)
You don't have to lookup the treeview with :
treeview = (TreeView) iconOverview.lookup("#treeview");
You automatically retrieve the treeView with the fx:id defined in the fxml file and the annotation #FXML in the controller.
I know why my TreeView was NULL. I forgot to implements javafx.fxml.Initializable and add the unimplemented method.
Here is my new IconOverviewControllerClass and dont worry about the static TreeView is only for test purpose ;)

I've started a project requested by our instructor building an application in JavaFX.
I used SceneBuilder for FXML Part when I want to add buttons on gridpane, but it didn't work. The connection with the database is okay. On the first part of the application, the user logs in. After that he/she comes on UserWindow, but the buttons aren't displayed.
File Main.java:
package sample;
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 {
Stage window;
Controller c;
ControllerB cB;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
window = primaryStage;
FXMLLoader f = new FXMLLoader();
FXMLLoader f2 = new FXMLLoader();
f.setLocation(Main.class.getResource("sample.fxml"));
f2.setLocation(Main.class.getResource("UserWindow.fxml"));
Parent root = f.load();
Parent root2 = f2.load();
Scene s = new Scene(root, 500, 340);
// Controllers
c = f.getController();
c.setMain(this);
c.setScene2(new Scene(root2, 900, 500));
cB = f2.getController();
cB.setMain(this);
cB.setScene(s);
window.setTitle("Remote Works");
window.setScene(s);
window.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}

window.setUserData(o);

So you have file UserWindow.fxml and you have declared a GridPane in it. I suggest you to don't make a separate .fxml file for the button.
Just do it like this in your ControllerB:
#Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle resourceBundle) {
schoolretrieve();
int size = ecoles.size();
//Node[] n = new Node[size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
//FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("Bloc.fxml"));
//ControllerItem controller = new ControllerItem();
//loader.setController(controller);
//n[i] = loader.load();
//controller.setButtonInst(ecoles.get(i));
//Box.getChildren().add(n[i]);
Button btn = new Button(ecoles.get(i));
Box.add(btn, 0, i); // Button is added to next row every time.
}
}
I know that there are a lot of questions already answered for this, but I just cant get my head around it. It is a possible duplicate of:
accessing a Pane from another class in javafx

Basically all you are missing is setting the main screen controller in the NotesScreenController instance:
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
NotesScreenController nsc = new NotesScreenController();
loader.setController(nsc);
nsc.setMainController(this);
And then from the NotesScreenController you can clear the pane simply by calling
mainController.clearPane();
i.e. you can do:
generalSortBox.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> selected, String oldValue, String newValue) {
if (newValue != null) {
switch (newValue) {
case "Done Notes": try {
//THE ACTION NEED TO TAKE PLACE HERE
mainController.clearPane();
notesDirectory.insertNotesToTilePane(tilePaneNotesScreen, notesDirectory.deserializedNotesList(notesDirectory.getFileName(new File("src/notesRecycleBin")), "src/notesRecycleBin/"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
});
Note you have one subtle bug: when you call
paneNotes = loader.load(paneOneUrl);
you are calling the static FXMLLoader.load(URL) method. Since it's a static method, it's not invoked on the FXMLLoader instance you created, and so the previous call to setController(...) is effectively ignored. You need to set the location of the FXMLLoader instance, and then call the no-arg load() method. So you should have:
issuesNotes.setOnAction(event ->{
clearPane();
URL paneOneUrl = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("gui/mainWindow/issues/NotesScreen.fxml");
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
NotesScreenController nsc = new NotesScreenController();
nsc.setMainController(this);
loader.setController(nsc);
loader.setLocation(paneOneUrl);
try {
// note call to no-arg load() method:
paneNotes = loader.load();
changablePane.getChildren().add(paneNotes);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
});
Finally, since you are setting the controller from the Java code, you need to remove the fx:controller attribute from the NotesScreen.fxml root element:
<StackPane fx:id="mainContainer" prefHeight="575.0" prefWidth="950.0" stylesheets="#../../../styles/MainWindow/StackPaneChangable.css" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.111" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1">

This is my first app and i have no idea why is my stage not clickable along with the menuBar. I use SceneBuilder for creating the fxml and I added the tree items in the controllers initialize method.

The only thing different from my other stages is the TreeView. If i make it in the main class it works fine. I think that the problem is within the initialize method and the way I build the treeView, but I have no idea what it can be.
After trying what Gash suggested and running my MainWindow.fxml from Main, the MainWindowController and MainWindow.fxml worked fine. Now the only other thing that stands between the working example and my version is the way i start the stage and I'm doing that after successful login in the starting stage of the app.

I should have provided this class earlier. Sorry for that.
It looks like your missing an import for your AbstractController, which should throw a compile error. I pasted your code into NetBeans and changed
public class MainWindowController extends AbstractController implements Initializable {
to
public class MainWindowController implements Initializable
Everything works as it should.
If you need the AbstractController, you will need to add the import. For example:
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.AbstractController;
My working code looks nearly identical to yours. I'm not able to see any difference, but below are the copies of your code working for me.

I got a null pointer exception with your closeStage() call. Instead of using this.stage, try setting the stage using the signInButton and then close it. I'm guessing your login window is APPLICATION_MODAL and isn't closing properly which would prevent input events to your new window. You might find the Stage Docs very helpful.
Here's a snip for your closeStage:
public void closeStage() {
Stage stage = (Stage) signInButton.getScene().getWindow();
stage.close();
}

import javafx.beans.property.SimpleStringProperty;

private final SimpleStringProperty FileName = new SimpleStringProperty();

public void setFileName(String fName) {
this.Filename.set(fName);

}
In this answer I'll just ignore all the typos, since there seems to be a compilable version of the code and point out the other errors:
FilesInDir
If I got your intention, this class should contain the info for a file that should be displayed. Besides ignoring the naming convention of starting identifiers of class members with a lowercase letter, the real issue here is the FileNameProperty. The property method with the suffix Property has to return the property itself and PropertyValueFactory relies on that fact. It should look like this:
public StringProperty fileNameProperty() {
return FileName;
}
Also you did not use the class as type parameter of your TableView:
#FXML
private TableView<FilesInDir> FileListTable;
AppController.handleBrowseWindowsExplorer
The main issue is in this method:
There's no need to need to make fidlist a field, let alone annotate it with #FXML. In fact there's no need to create a new ObservableList at all.
You recreate the TableView, that was created and injected by the FXMLLoader and do not insert it to the scene graph, but you work with the new TableView, which is not the one that is displayed on screen.
If no file is selected, the TextField is emptied, but the items in the TableView from a previously selected directory remain, leading to inconsistent behaviour.
fileNameList = Arrays.asList(listOfFiles[i].getName()); in the for loop replaces the list with a new List containing a single element every time it's executed.
File tFile = new File(TDpath.getText()); recreates the file from the String that was created by converting the selected file to a String. That's just unnecessary; you should simply use selectedDir
Changing the method like this should work, assuming you fixed the points mentioned for FilesInDir too:

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.
