I want to display an alert when a file already exists when trying to create the file with same name . I have not completed the code fully. I want to retrieve the button value Ye
Simply use the Alert class. It provides functionality for most yes/no dialogs that you ever need.
Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.WARNING,
"File already exists. Do you want to override?",
ButtonType.YES, ButtonType.NO);
Optional result = alert.showAndWait();
if (result.get() == ButtonType.YES){
// ... user chose YES
} else {
// ... user chose NO or closed the dialog
}
Also here is a good tutorial.
