JavaFX architecture in building dynamic “rows”

Question

I have an application that I am building that has a table in it, I\'m not using a tableview to build this table because I need each row to be able to expand similar to an accord

Answer 1

I can't comment but it may be an answer anyway. Why can't you use the setGraphic method of a custom table cell and put the accordion node in a table. setGraphic takes any kind of node.

It sounds simpler than what you're doing.

I just tried it out with the Oracle sample and it works great. I added

    Callback<TableColumn<Person, String>, TableCell<Person, String>> accCellFactory
            = new Callback<TableColumn<Person, String>, TableCell<Person, String>>() {
                @Override
                public TableCell call(TableColumn p) {
                    TitledPane t1 = new TitledPane("T1", new Button("B1"));
                    TitledPane t2 = new TitledPane("T2", new Button("B2"));
                    TitledPane t3 = new TitledPane("T3", new Button("B3"));
                    Accordion accordion = new Accordion();
                    accordion.getPanes().addAll(t1, t2, t3);
                    TableCell tc = new TableCell();
                    tc.setGraphic(accordion);
                    return tc;
                }
            };

and changed this line firstNameCol.setCellFactory(accCellFactory);

and I get

Of course you might want something other than buttons but I just copied the Accordion sample from the javadoc.
