Consider using a TableView, which allows you to display several columns of data based on item data. (ListView being an alternative for a single "column" without a header.) It automatically adds a ScrollBar, if the number of items cannot be shown in size available to the TableView without scrolling.

In this case all you'd need to do in the event handler would be adding a new item to the TableView, e.g. something like this

private void savecontacts(){
    contactsTable.getItems().add(new Contact(Name.getText(), PhoneNumber.getText(), Address.getText()));
    System.out.println("Save");
}

(Contact would be your item class in this case)
