I am trying to call a JavaScript function from a JavaFX WebView on a JavaFX button click event.
I am using the following code, but it is not working:
I used your code as following and it works
package org.im.oor;
import java.io.File;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.web.WebEngine;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
/**

public class main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button btn = new Button();
btn.setText("fire JS");
btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
if (webengine != null)
{
webengine.executeScript("test()");
}
}
});
publishServices();
StackPane root = new StackPane();
// root.getChildren().add(btn);
HBox hh = new HBox();
hh.getChildren().add(btn);
hh.getChildren().add(webview);
root.getChildren().add(hh);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
private WebEngine webengine;
private static WebView webview;
private void publishServices() {
try {
webview = new WebView();
webview.setVisible(true);
webengine = webview.getEngine();
webengine.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
File file = new File("c:\\hello.html");
System.out.println(file.exists() + " file exitence");
webengine.load(file.toURI().toURL().toString());
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.err.print("error " + ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
content of c:\hello.html

<header>
<script language="javascript">

//window.scrollBy(0,20);
document.body.style.backgroundColor="#00f3f3";
alert('test');
}

<body>test

check this code and let me know .. just some points on that :
check if you can really access that file ..
make you program simple to test if its working JS<==>JavaFX, then you can go further and use more advanced JS functions
