So, I'm doing a JavaFX multiview GUI application.
Below is the code so that you can refer to it, don't read through it to find an error yet, I'll explain the problem underneath first ;)
I have a main - which starts the application
public class MyFXMLMain extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Wireframe.fxml"));
stage.setTitle("My Fitness App");
Scene mainScene = new Scene(root,805,809);
stage.setScene(mainScene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
ScreensController - that controls loading/setting screens.
public class ScreensController extends StackPane {
private HashMap<String, Node> screens = new HashMap<>();
public ScreensController() {
super();
}
public void addScreen(String name, Node screen) {
screens.put(name, screen);
}
public Node getScreen(String name) {
return screens.get(name);
}
public boolean loadScreen(String name, String resource) {
try {
FXMLLoader myLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource(resource));
Parent loadScreen = (Parent) myLoader.load();
ControlledScreen myScreenController = ((ControlledScreen) myLoader.getController());
myScreenController.setScreenParent(this);
addScreen(name, loadScreen);
return true;
}catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
return false;
}
}
public boolean setScreen(final String name) {
if (screens.get(name) != null) { //screen loaded
final DoubleProperty opacity = opacityProperty();
if (!getChildren().isEmpty()) { //if there is more than one screen
Timeline fade = new Timeline(
new KeyFrame(Duration.ZERO, new KeyValue(opacity, 1.0)),
new KeyFrame(new Duration(1000), new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
getChildren().remove(0); //remove the displayed screen
getChildren().add(0, screens.get(name)); //add the screen
Timeline fadeIn = new Timeline(
new KeyFrame(Duration.ZERO, new KeyValue(opacity, 0.0)),
new KeyFrame(new Duration(800), new KeyValue(opacity, 1.0)));
fadeIn.play();
}
}, new KeyValue(opacity, 0.0)));
fade.play();
} else {
setOpacity(0.0);
getChildren().add(screens.get(name)); //no one else been displayed, then just show
Timeline fadeIn = new Timeline(
new KeyFrame(Duration.ZERO, new KeyValue(opacity, 0.0)),
new KeyFrame(new Duration(2500), new KeyValue(opacity, 1.0)));
fadeIn.play();
}
return true;
} else {
System.out.println("screen hasn't been loaded!!! \n");
return false;
}
}
public boolean unloadScreen(String name) {
if (screens.remove(name) == null) {
System.out.println("Screen didn't exist");
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
}
A screen framework - that links the screens to the FXML files.
public class ScreensFramework extends Application {
public static String MAIN_SCREEN = "MyFXMLController";
public static String MAIN_SCREEN_FXML = "Wireframe.fxml";
public static String calendarScreen = "CalendarscreenController";
public static String calendarScreenFXML = "Calendarscreen.fxml";
public static String guideScreen = "GuideScreenController";
public static String guideScreenFXML ="Guidescreen.fxml";
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
ScreensController mainContainer = new ScreensController();
mainContainer.loadScreen(ScreensFramework.MAIN_SCREEN, ScreensFramework.MAIN_SCREEN_FXML);
mainContainer.loadScreen(ScreensFramework.calendarScreen,ScreensFramework.calendarScreenFXML);
mainContainer.loadScreen(ScreensFramework.guideScreen,ScreensFramework.guideScreenFXML);
mainContainer.setScreen(ScreensFramework.MAIN_SCREEN);
Group root = new Group();
root.getChildren().addAll(mainContainer);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
An FXML controller - which links to the FXML files and tells FXML what to do when something is clicked.
public class MyFXMLController implements ControlledScreen{
@FXML private TextField givenName;
@FXML private Text targetText;
//@FXML private static TableView<Mass> theTable;
//@FXML private static TableColumn<Mass, String> dateCol;
//@FXML private static TableColumn<Mass, String> massCol;
@FXML private static LineChart<Number,Number> weightChart;
@FXML private static NumberAxis axisX;
@FXML private static NumberAxis axisY;
@FXML private static Label myLabel;
//private static User theUser = new User();
private static ScreensController myController;
@Override
public void setScreenParent(ScreensController screenPage) {
myController = screenPage;
}
@FXML protected void handlePressedCalendarButtonAction(ActionEvent event){
System.out.println("Hello");
}
@FXML protected void mouseclickedcal(MouseEvent mec){
myController.setScreen(ScreensFramework.calendarScreen);
}
}
A controlledscreen - that does this:
public interface ControlledScreen {
public void setScreenParent(ScreensController screenPage);
}
And a CalendarScreenController - that controls one of the multi screens
public class CalendarScreenController implements Initializable, ControlledScreen {
ScreensController myController;
@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
}
public void setScreenParent(ScreensController screenParent){
myController = screenParent;
}
@FXML
private void goToMain(ActionEvent event){
myController.setScreen(ScreensFramework.MAIN_SCREEN);
}
}
PROBLEM BELOW
When I run my program it works fine, but then if I click on a button that activates the calendar onclick code here:
@FXML protected void mouseclickedcal(MouseEvent mec){
myController.setScreen(ScreensFramework.calendarScreen);
}
which should set the screen to CalendarScreen.fxml,one of my multi screens but instead, it causes an error below:

Thank you so much for having a look at this. I can't seem to find the error ;(
