JavaFX how to change stage

Question

I\'m using Netbeans 7.2 with Scene Builder 1.0 to develop a JavaFX application. I have my main screen set up, and I want to have it so I click a button and it\'ll close the main

Answer 1

I'm probably saying something similar here, but this is how I do it:

(In this example, I am transitioning from Login.fxml to Home.fxml).

Inside the LoginController.fxml class, I have created the following method:

@FXML
private void login(javafx.event.ActionEvent event) throws IOException
{
    if(pwf1.getText().equals("dolphin"))
    {
            Parent blah = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Home.fxml"));
            Scene scene = new Scene(blah);
            Stage appStage = (Stage) ((Node) event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow();
            appStage.setScene(scene);
            appStage.show();
    }
    else
    {
            label1.setText("Password is incorrect. Please Try Again");
    }
}

And that's it.;)

Answer 2

You can do it this way too:

Modify your controller.java this way

Stage thisStage;

public void setStage (Stage stage){
    thisStage = stage;
}

public void showStage(){
    thisStage.setTitle("Titel in der MainController.java geändert");
    thisStage.show();
}

It is important that you don't use thisStage in the initialize method.

Modify your Mainclass this way:

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    URL location = getClass().getResource("Main.fxml");
    FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader();
    fxmlLoader.setLocation(location);
    fxmlLoader.setBuilderFactory(new JavaFXBuilderFactory());
    Parent root = (Parent) fxmlLoader.load(location.openStream());
    Scene scene = new Scene(root);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    MainController mainController = fxmlLoader.getController();
    mainController.setStage(stage);
    mainController.showStage();
}

You can download a example projekt (netbeans) here.

Answer 3

Based on your question, recently I was working on developing an iOS equivalent NavigationController for JavaFX, using the simplest idea of push and dismiss views.

Let me share the code with the community: https://github.com/jalopezsuarez/javafx-screens

The idea, is to have a very very easy environment to help you change between screens.

Hope it helps you.

Download JavaFX samples find the project FXML-LoginDemo , that's what you need. For quick reference i am copy pasting main java class here ;)
