Study Notes

JavaFX Application Structure

  • JavaFX applications use Application class
  • Application class has start method (for initializing and showing components)
  • Applications must have main method
  • Include imports for javafx.application, javafx.fxml, javafx.scene, javafx.stage

HelloApplication Class

  • HelloApplication extends Application
  • Includes start method to initialize stage, scene, and load FXML file
  • start method handles exceptions with throws IOException
  • Loads FXML file using FXMLLoader
  • Creates a Scene from the loaded FXML file
  • Sets the scene and title for the Stage
  • Shows the Stage

Event Handling

  • Separate classes for event handling:
  • The example (EventHandler) handles Action Events and implements Event Handler
  • It overrides the handle method to execute code when an event occurs
    • Example: System.out.println("Test")

Hello Controller

  • HelloController class imports javafx.scene.control.*
  • helloController has a button and initialisation method
  • Initializes the button by specifying an EventHandler to handle future events

Example Without Controller

  • Shows creation of an Event Handler to implement event handling without a controller class

Mouse Event Handling

  • Shows importing javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent and javafx.event.*

  • MouseEvent handler class (MouseEventHandler) implements EventHandler <MouseEvent>

  • The handle method shows how to handle mouse events and print a message.

Inner Class Event Handling

  • Creating inner classes to handle events:
  • The code shows creating an inner class (Inner Button Event Handler) to handle the button-related event.

Anonymous Inner Class Example

  • Anonymous inner class example:
    • The event handler is declared directly within the setOnAction method.
  • Sets the title and shows the Stage.

Lambda Example

  • Creates a Lambda event handler that handles Action Events
  • Example shows using System.out.println to show a specific output.
  • Shows a TextField example, with onMouseEntered and the output ("Hello")
