Update ObservableList for TableView, in UI thread and background thread.

In the code example "Detect mouse click on JavaFX TableView and get the details of the clicked item", the content were pre-inserted in start() method. This example show how to add records into ObservableList for TableView. Also show how to do it in FX Application Thread (or UI thread) and in background thread.

Update ObservableList for TableView, in UI thread and background thread.
Update ObservableList for TableView, in UI thread and background thread.


  • To keep track of the record id, introduce a class variable, trackId, in Record class.
  • Output Platform.isFxApplicationThread() in constructor of Record; such that we can know the thread of the operation.
  • Add TextFields for user to enter fields of new records.
  • Add buttons to add record in UI thread and in background thread.

Class variables (static) of class

Class variables is a variables that are common to all objects. This is accomplished with the static modifier. Fields that have the static modifier in their declaration are called static fields or class variables. They are associated with the class, rather than with any object. Every instance of the class shares a class variable, which is in one fixed location in memory. Any object can change the value of a class variable, but class variables can also be manipulated without creating an instance of the class.

FREE online ebook: Java Enterprise Performance

Java Enterprise Performance
Java Enterprise Performance

Performance is a topic of increasing importance for anyone who uses applications to support their business activities. Today performance engineers and architects as well as operations people have to ensure that complex application landscapes work seamlessly and problems are resolved fast and with minimal effort.

This book contains over 70 years of application performance knowledge. We, the authors have worked in this field building large scale applications and more recently application performance solutions. In addition we have developed numerous training courses, work closely with IT practitioners implementing application performance management solutions and processes, and we are regular speakers at software conference on performance-related topics.

Our goal is to provide a reference book for people like us, who are passionate about application performance and work daily on improving it. We found that while there are a lot of books about performance, a definitive reference text for day-to-day performance management is not available. We want to provide exactly this reference, where you can lookup information and quickly find the answers to your problems.

Hide empty cell of TableView with CSS

Similar to the post "Apply style sheet on ListView to hide empty cells", we can create our custom css to set a specific color for all empty.

Hide empty cell of TableView with CSS
Hide empty cell of TableView with CSS


Modify from last article "Detect mouse click on JavaFX TableView and get the details of the clicked item".

Create javafx_testtableview/style_tableview.css file, copy the code from Example 26-3 Setting Color for Empty Rows in a Table View of Customization of UI Controls.
.table-row-cell:empty {
    -fx-background-color: lightyellow;
}
 
.table-row-cell:empty .table-cell {
    -fx-border-width: 0px;
}


Apply css file on the TabletView, by calling:

tableView.getStylesheets().add("javafx_testtableview/style_tableview");

Also modify handle(MouseEvent t) of MyEventHandler to check IndexOutOfBoundsException on recordList.get(index).

Apply style sheet on ListView to hide empty cells

The default style of ListView will fill all cells, include empty cells, as shown in last article. You can create your own style sheets to override the styles in the default style sheet and to add your own styles. Typically style sheets that you create have an extension of .css and are located in the same directory as the main class for your JavaFX application.

In the case of the following file structure, using the code:

listView.getStylesheets().add("javafx_listview/style_listview");


To hide empty list cell, edit style_listview.css.

.list-cell:empty {
    visibility:hidden;
}


Full Java code:

Implement JavaFX ListView for custom object

This example demonstrate how to implement ListView of custom object.

JavaFX ListView for custom object
JavaFX ListView for custom object

Here we define a custom class, MyObject. And a List of object of MyObject class, myList. We have to generate ObservableList<myobject> from ArrayList<myobject> by calling FXCollections.observableList(myList). Also have to sets a new cell factory to use in the ListView, by calling setCellFactory() method.

Here is the example code:

package javafx_listview;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ListCell;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Callback;

/**

 */
public class JavaFX_ListView extends Application {
    
    class MyObject{
        String day;
        int number;
        
        MyObject(String d, int n){
            day = d;
            number = n;
        }
        
        String getDay(){
            return day;
        }
        
        int getNumber(){
            return number;
        }
    }
    
    List<MyObject> myList;
    
    //Create dummy list of MyObject
    private void prepareMyList(){
        myList = new ArrayList<>();
        myList.add(new MyObject("Sunday", 50));
        myList.add(new MyObject("Monday", 60));
        myList.add(new MyObject("Tuesday", 20));
        myList.add(new MyObject("Wednesday", 90));
        myList.add(new MyObject("Thursday", 30));
        myList.add(new MyObject("Friday", 62));
        myList.add(new MyObject("Saturday", 65));
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        primaryStage.setTitle("http://java-buddy.blogspot.com/");

        prepareMyList();
        ListView<MyObject> listView = new ListView<>();
        ObservableList<MyObject> myObservableList = FXCollections.observableList(myList);
        listView.setItems(myObservableList);
        
        listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<MyObject>, ListCell<MyObject>>(){

            @Override
            public ListCell<MyObject> call(ListView<MyObject> p) {
                
                ListCell<MyObject> cell = new ListCell<MyObject>(){

                    @Override
                    protected void updateItem(MyObject t, boolean bln) {
                        super.updateItem(t, bln);
                        if (t != null) {
                            setText(t.getDay() + ":" + t.getNumber());
                        }
                    }

                };
                
                return cell;
            }
        });


        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(listView);
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}

Draw scaled image on JavaFX Canvas, with GraphicsContext.drawImage(image, x, y, w, h)

The method GraphicsContext.drawImage(image, x, y, w, h) draws an image into the given destination rectangle of the canvas. The Image is scaled to fit into the destination rectagnle. Alternatively, the method GraphicsContext.drawImage(image, x, y) draw unscaled image on canvas.

This example show how to draw scaled image on JavaFX canvas, on rectangle assigned by mouse pressed and released events.
