Setting background image by javafx code (not css)

Question

I\'m trying to set an image as the background using this code:

root.setStyle(\"-fx-background-image: url(\'splash.jpg\'); 
               -fx-background-posi         


        

Answer 1

If you really don't want to use CSS or the setStyle() method, you can use the following:

// new Image(url)
Image image = new Image(CurrentClass.class.getResource("/path/to/package/bg.jpg"));
// new BackgroundSize(width, height, widthAsPercentage, heightAsPercentage, contain, cover)
BackgroundSize backgroundSize = new BackgroundSize(100, 100, true, true, true, false);
// new BackgroundImage(image, repeatX, repeatY, position, size)
BackgroundImage backgroundImage = new BackgroundImage(image, BackgroundRepeat.REPEAT, BackgroundRepeat.NO_REPEAT, BackgroundPosition.CENTER, backgroundSize);
// new Background(images...)
Background background = new Background(backgroundImage);

You can find detailed documentation on BackgroundImage here.

(Sorry for replying to this old question.)

Try next:

String image = JavaFXApplication9.class.getResource("splash.jpg").toExternalForm();
root.setStyle("-fx-background-image: url('" + image + "'); " +
           "-fx-background-position: center center; " +
           "-fx-background-repeat: stretch;");
