JavaFX adding ObservableList<String> to single column TableView - string

Question

I want to add the data from ObservableList batchNumber to a tableview which only contains one column yet im stucked because all the tutorials i found is about adding object type, not string type.
This is a function i used to generate a random batch number of format AAA0000
public String generateBatch(){
Random rand = new Random();
String[] alphabet = "Q W E R T Y U I O P A S D F G H J K L Z X C V B N M".split(" ");
String batch = new String();
batch = alphabet[rand.nextInt(0, 26)] + alphabet[rand.nextInt(0, 26)] + alphabet[rand.nextInt(0, 26)] + rand.nextInt(1000, 9999);
return batch;
}
and then i add bunch of batch number into a ObservableList
ObservableList<String> batchNumber = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
batchNumber.add(generateBatch());
}
so now batchNumber is loaded with bunch of Strings and then i tried to assign them to a tableView
TableView<String> batchNumberTableView = new TableView<>();
TableColumn<String, ?> batchColumn = new TableColumn<>("Vaccine Batch Number");
batchNumberTableView.getColumns().add(batchColumn);
and here is where im stucked, i've had successfully added a column into the tableview but i have no idea how to assign the datas from batchNumber into the tableview.

Answer 1

You need
TableColumn<String, String> batchColumn = new TableColumn<>("Vaccine Batch Number");
batchColumn.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> new SimpleStringProperty(cellData.getValue()));
