ListView clipping - javafx-2

i working little bit with the ListView from JavaFx2. I´m running into one issue.
Is it possible to turn off the clipping of the ListCell/ListView?
I add an ImageView that has to be wider than the ListView and JavaFx2 shows automatically a scrollbar.
This my code snipped how i add the ImageView to my List:
list.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<String>, ListCell<String>>() {
#Override
public ListCell<String> call(ListView<String> param) {
final ListCell<String> blub = new ListCell<String>() {
#Override
protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (item != null) {
StackPane p = new StackPane();
Label label = new Label(item);
p.getChildren().addAll(img, label);
setGraphic(p);
p.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER_LEFT);
}
}
};
blub.setStyle("-fx-background-color:transparent");
return blub;
}
});
Big thanks!

I don't think it's possible.
Maybe try to play with the Skin of the ListView. It seems that the scroll bar are managed in this class. It do not use a scroll pane.
Another solution could be replacing the ListView by a VBox in a ScrollPane.
Finally, you could try to modify img (by the way, where it come from, and what Class is it ?) to only show what you need.
Anyway, I'm interested by the solution you will use.

JavaFX how to change background color of tableview column using CSS?

With javafx scene builder I hava created a TableView with few editable columns and few non-editable columns. How to set CSS style for non-editable columns, so that the entire column is greyed out.
I have created a style class like below and mapped it to table column in javafx scene builder. But it didn't work.
.greyout1 .table-column-cell{
-fx-background-color:rgb(243,243,243);
-fx-border-color:rgb(159,159,159);
}
Searched the forum, could n't find a solution for styling tableview columns.Could you please suggest an approach?
try this and its perfectly worked...
email.setCellFactory(new Callback<TableColumn<CheckDo, String>, TableCell<CheckDo, String>>() {
#Override
public TableCell<CheckDo, String> call(TableColumn<CheckDo, String> p) {
return new TableCell<CheckDo, String>() {
#Override
public void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (!isEmpty()) {
this.setStyle("-fx-background-color:red");
setText(item);
}
}
};

Add fixed positioned layer to FlowPane [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Add fixed positioned Combobox inside FlowPane
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have a FlowPane with panels which will be used to display data in front of the user.
![enter image description here][1]
I added also scrollpane when the number of the panels is bigger than the visible area.
I also want to add filter which will sort the panels by type and will display only the appropriate. The red area will hold the ComboBox which will be the filter.
And as you can see the red are pushes down the FlowPane which will make a gap between the top component and the scroll when I make the area transparent.
Is there a way to use the z-index and place the red are in front of the FlowPane? Or some other solution?
This is the result that I would like to get:
![enter image description here][2]
Investigate this example based on your code in previous questions:
public class Demo extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
StackPane stackPane = new StackPane();
stackPane.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_LEFT);
stackPane.getChildren().addAll(infrastructurePane(), getFilterPane());
Scene scene = new Scene(stackPane);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public Pane getFilterPane() {
ObservableList<String> options =
FXCollections.observableArrayList(
"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3");
ComboBox<String> combo = new ComboBox<String>(options);
HBox pane = new HBox();
pane.setPadding(new Insets(20));
pane.setStyle("-fx-background-color: rgba(255,0,85,0.4)");
pane.getChildren().add(combo);
pane.setMaxHeight(40);
// Optional
//pane.setEffect(new DropShadow(15, Color.RED));
return pane;
}
public ScrollPane infrastructurePane() {
final FlowPane flow = new FlowPane();
flow.setPadding(new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5));
flow.setVgap(5);
flow.setHgap(5);
flow.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
final ScrollPane scroll = new ScrollPane();
scroll.setHbarPolicy(ScrollPane.ScrollBarPolicy.AS_NEEDED); // Horizontal scroll bar
scroll.setVbarPolicy(ScrollPane.ScrollBarPolicy.AS_NEEDED); // Vertical scroll bar
scroll.setFitToHeight(true);
scroll.setFitToWidth(true);
scroll.setContent(flow);
// scroll.viewportBoundsProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Bounds>() {
// #Override
// public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Bounds> ov, Bounds oldBounds, Bounds bounds) {
// flow.setPrefWidth(bounds.getWidth());
// flow.setPrefHeight(bounds.getHeight());
// }
// });
//flow.setPrefWrapLength(170); // preferred width allows for two columns
flow.setStyle("-fx-background-color: yellow;");
for (int i = 0; i < 28; i++) {
flow.getChildren().add(generateRectangle());
}
String cssURL = "/com/dx57dc/css/ButtonsDemo.css";
String css = this.getClass().getResource(cssURL).toExternalForm();
flow.getStylesheets().add(css);
return scroll;
}
public Rectangle generateRectangle() {
final Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(10, 10, 10, 10);
rect2.setId("app");
rect2.setArcHeight(8);
rect2.setArcWidth(8);
//rect2.setX(10);
//rect2.setY(160);
rect2.setStrokeWidth(1);
rect2.setStroke(Color.WHITE);
rect2.setWidth(220);
rect2.setHeight(180);
rect2.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
#Override

rect2.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
}
});
return rect2;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
EDIT:
As per comment, here is the combo without pane. Since there is no pane the mouse events will not be blocked. Replace only this method with above one:
public ComboBox getFilterPane() {
ObservableList<String> options =
FXCollections.observableArrayList(
"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3");
ComboBox<String> combo = new ComboBox<String>(options);
combo.setTranslateX(10);
combo.setTranslateY(10);
return combo;
}
if you're using JavaFX 8, you can try a Notification Pane from ControlsFX project
It looks like:
It's pretty unclear to get which behaviour you don't want and which one you want.
This sentence "And as you can see the red are pushes down the FlowPane which will make a gap between the top component and the scroll when I make the area transparent." is particularly hard to understand.
But if you just want to "use the z-index and place the red are in front of the FlowPane?", maybe all you're asking for is just a StackPane ?
StackPane lays out its children in a back-to-front stack.
The z-order of the children is defined by the order of the children
list with the 0th child being the bottom and last child on top. If a
border and/or padding have been set, the children will be layed out
within those insets.
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/StackPane.html
If you want the red area be part of the ScrollPane:
Create a VBox
Add The Red Area Component to VBox
Add the FlowPane to VBox
Set VBox as the ScrollPanes Content
If the Layout with VBox's doenst look statisfying try Borderpane and set the "Red Area" top and your flowpane as center.
Is there a way to use the z-index and place the red are in front of the FlowPane? Or some other solution?

How can I make a TextArea stretch to fill the content, expanding the parent in the process?

So I have a TextArea and as the user pastes paragraphs into it, or just writes in it, I want it to expand vertically to reveal all the available text. I.e. not to use a scrollbar in the text field itself... much like what happens on many web pages. Many users, myself included, don't like to be forced to edit in a small window. Exactly how Facebook status updates box works.
I've tried
myTextArea.autoSize()
wrapped in an
myTextArea.textProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener()....);
but that doesn't work. I think it's happy autosizing to its current size.
The left, right & top anchors are set to it's parent AnchorPane. I've tried it with the bottom attached and not attached. Ideally I'd like to grow the anchor pane as the textarea grows.
I don't mind reading the TextProperty and calculating a trigger size which I set myself... but this seems a hacky approach IF there is already a best practise. The number of properties and sub objects of javafx is sufficiently daunting that it seems like a good point to ask the question here, rather than trying to figure out how many pixels the font/paragraphs etc are taking up.
Update:
So I thought maybe I was overthinking it, and all I needed to do was to switch the scrollbars off and the rest would happen. Alas, looking for available fields and methods for "scroll", "vertical", "vbar" comes up with nothing I can use. ScrollTopProperty looks like it's for something else.
The problem; the height of textArea is wanted to be grown or shrunk while its text is changing by either user's typing or copy-pasting. Here is another approach:
public class TextAreaDemo extends Application {
private Text textHolder = new Text();
private double oldHeight = 0;
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
textArea.setPrefSize(200, 40);
textArea.setWrapText(true);
textHolder.textProperty().bind(textArea.textProperty());
textHolder.layoutBoundsProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Bounds>() {
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Bounds> observable, Bounds oldValue, Bounds newValue) {
if (oldHeight != newValue.getHeight()) {
System.out.println("newValue = " + newValue.getHeight());
oldHeight = newValue.getHeight();
textArea.setPrefHeight(textHolder.getLayoutBounds().getHeight() + 20); // +20 is for paddings
}
}
});
Group root = new Group(textArea);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
// See the explanation below of the following line.
// textHolder.setWrappingWidth(textArea.getWidth() - 10); // -10 for left-right padding. Exact value can be obtained from caspian.css
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
But it has a drawback; the textarea's height is changing only if there are line breaks (ie Enter keys) between multiple lines, if the user types long enough the text gets wrapped to multiple line but the height is not changing.
To workaround this drawback I added this line
textHolder.setWrappingWidth(textArea.getWidth() - 10);
after primaryStage.show();. It works well for long typings where user does not linebreaks. However this generates another problem. This problem occurs when the user is deleting the text by hitting "backspace". The problem occurs exactly when the textHolder height is changed and where the textArea's height is set to new value. IMO it maybe a bug, didn't observe deeper.
In both case the copy-pasting is handling properly.
Awaiting a better, i use this hacky solution.
lookup the vertical scrollbar of the textarea.
make it transparent
listen to its visible property
when the scrollbar become visible i add a row to the textarea.
The code:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.geometry.Orientation;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ScrollBar;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class GrowGrowTextArea extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
AnchorPane root = new AnchorPane();
root.setStyle("-fx-padding:20;-fx-background-color:dodgerblue;");
final TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
AnchorPane.setTopAnchor(textArea, 10.0);
AnchorPane.setLeftAnchor(textArea, 10.0);
AnchorPane.setRightAnchor(textArea, 10.0);
root.getChildren().add(textArea);
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 400, 300));
primaryStage.show();
ScrollBar scrollBar = lookupVerticalScrollBar(textArea);
scrollBar.setOpacity(0.0);
scrollBar.visibleProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
#Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> source,
Boolean wasVisible,
Boolean isVisible) {
if (isVisible) {
textArea.setPrefRowCount(textArea.getPrefRowCount() + 1);
textArea.requestLayout();
}
}
});
}
private ScrollBar lookupVerticalScrollBar(Node node) {
if (node instanceof ScrollBar && ((ScrollBar)node).getOrientation() == Orientation.VERTICAL) {
return (ScrollBar) node;
}
if (node instanceof Parent) {
ObservableList<Node> children = ((Parent) node).getChildrenUnmodifiable();
for (Node child : children) {
ScrollBar scrollBar = lookupVerticalScrollBar(child);
if (scrollBar != null) {
return scrollBar;
}
}
}
return null;
}
}
I had a similar problem with creating expanding TextArea. I was creating TextArea that looks like TextField and expand vertically every time when there is no more space in line.
I have tested all solutions that I could find on this topic on stack and other sources available. I found few good solutions but neither was good enough.
After many hours of fighting, I figured out this approach.
I extended TextArea class, override layoutChildren() method and add a listener on text height.
#Override
protected void layoutChildren() {
super.layoutChildren();
setWrapText(true);
addListenerToTextHeight();
}
private void addListenerToTextHeight() {
ScrollPane scrollPane = (ScrollPane) lookup(".scroll-pane");
scrollPane.setHbarPolicy(ScrollBarPolicy.NEVER);
scrollPane.setVbarPolicy(ScrollBarPolicy.NEVER);
StackPane viewport = (StackPane) scrollPane.lookup(".viewport");
Region content = (Region) viewport.lookup(".content");
Text text = (Text) content.lookup(".text");
text.textProperty().addListener(textHeightListener(text));
}
private InvalidationListener textHeightListener(Text text) {
return (property) -> {
// + 1 for little margin
double textHeight = text.getBoundsInLocal().getHeight() + 1;
//To prevent that our TextArena will be smaller than our TextField
//I used DEFAULT_HEIGHT = 18.0
if (textHeight < DEFAULT_HEIGHT) {
textHeight = DEFAULT_HEIGHT;
}
setMinHeight(textHeight);
setPrefHeight(textHeight);
setMaxHeight(textHeight);
};
}
I used some of the code found in the previous answers.
The growTextAreaIfNecessary method will increase the height of textArea until the scrollbar is not visible (limited to 20 lines in this example).
The problem with this approach is that the window needs to be redrawn several times until the perfect height is found.
private ScrollBar lookupVerticalScrollBar(Node node) {
if (node instanceof ScrollBar && ((ScrollBar) node).getOrientation() == Orientation.VERTICAL) {
return (ScrollBar) node;
}
if (node instanceof Parent) {
ObservableList<Node> children = ((Parent) node).getChildrenUnmodifiable();
for (Node child : children) {
ScrollBar scrollBar = lookupVerticalScrollBar(child);
if (scrollBar != null) {
return scrollBar;
}
}
}
return null;
}
private void growTextAreaIfNecessary(TextArea textArea) {
Platform.runLater(() -> {
ScrollBar lookupVerticalScrollBar = lookupVerticalScrollBar(textArea);
int prefRowCount = textArea.getPrefRowCount();
if (lookupVerticalScrollBar.isVisible() && prefRowCount < 20) {
textArea.setPrefRowCount(prefRowCount + 1);
System.out.println("increasing height to: " + (prefRowCount + 1));
growTextAreaIfNecessary(textArea);
}
});
}
I have tried many hacks, most of them had jitters while typing, this to me was the perfect result:
textArea.textProperty().addListener((obs,old,niu)->{
Text t = new Text(old+niu);
t.setFont(textArea.getFont());
StackPane pane = new StackPane(t);
pane.layout();
double height = t.getLayoutBounds().getHeight();
double padding = 20 ;
textArea.setMinHeight(height+padding);
});

Best way to create buttons dynamically

I want to create button dynamically in my application. The buttons need to be created based on items fetched from database. What is the best way to achieve this. Should I go for grid layout or Linear layout. My layout is simple with max 3 buttons per row. Once the first row is complete the buttons should be placed in second row.
I scanned lot of similar questions(some had grid layout other were using Linear layout) but unable to decide what is the optimum way to implement this.
I am complete newbie in android application, so any code snippets would be really helpful. Apologies if someone feels this is a duplicate question (I searched a lot before posting but didn't find appropriate answer to layout to be used.)
Thanks.
Please try to use gridView same as bellow code.
// in xml write this code
<GridView
android:id="#+id/calendar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:numColumns="3" />
// grid adapter
public class GridAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private final Context _context;
private final List<String> list;
public GridAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<String> list) {
super();
this._context = context;
this.list = list;
}
public String getItem(int position) {
return list.get(position);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return list.size();
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
Button button = new Button(_context);
button.setText("button" + list.get(position));
return button;
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return 0;
}
}
/// in oncreate
gridView.setAdapter(new GridAdapter(getApplicationContext(),list);

Scaling in JavaFX and ScrollPanes

I've been trying to work with the scaling transform in JavaFX, but haven't quite been able to wrap my head around it. Basically, I have a Pane containing a complex graph and would like to be able to rescale it. The scaling part itself works fine, however, the enclosing scroll pane will not adapt to the graph.
For simplicity's sake, i'll post a short example in which my graph is replaced by a label:
public class TestApp extends Application {
#Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
final Label label = new Label("Hello World");
label.getTransforms().setAll(new Scale(0.5, 0.5));
label.setStyle("-fx-background-color:blue");
label.setFont(new Font(200));
final ScrollPane scrollPane = new ScrollPane();
scrollPane.setContent(label);
stage.setScene(new Scene(scrollPane));
stage.setWidth(200);
stage.setHeight(100);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Application.launch(args);
}
}
The label will scale correctly, but the enclosing scroll pane's bars will still accomodate a component of the original size.
I've tried so far:
Playing around with the labels min and pref size
wrapping the label inside a Group (no scrollbars will appear whatsoever)
scaling the enclosing Group rather than the label
What am I missing? What can I do to make the ScrollPane adapt to the content view?
Thanks for your help.
According to the ScrollPane document you might try to wrap a Pane in a Group so the ScrollPane is scroll by visual bound not the actual layout bound.
ScrollPane layout calculations are based on the layoutBounds rather than the
boundsInParent (visual bounds) of the scroll node. If an application wants the
scrolling to be based on the visual bounds of the node (for scaled content etc.),
they need to wrap the scroll node in a Group.
I implemented scaling in a ScrollPane for Graphs and other nodes in
this example of scrollpane viewports, transforms and layout bounds in JavaFX.
The code was implemented when I was first learning JavaFX, so certainly the code could be cleaner and perhaps there are simpler ways to accomplish this (e.g. using a Group as the container for the scaled node as suggested in the ScrollPane documentation).
One key to getting the solution I wanted (ScrollBars only appearing when you are zoomed in and the node is larger than the visible viewport), was this code:
// create a container for the viewable node.
final StackPane nodeContainer = new StackPane();
nodeContainer.getChildren().add(node);
// place the container in the scrollpane and adjust the pane's viewports as required.
final ScrollPane scrollPane = new ScrollPane();
scrollPane.setContent(nodeContainer);
scrollPane.viewportBoundsProperty().addListener(
new ChangeListener<Bounds>() {
#Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Bounds> observableValue, Bounds oldBounds, Bounds newBounds) {
nodeContainer.setPrefSize(
Math.max(node.getBoundsInParent().getMaxX(), newBounds.getWidth()),
Math.max(node.getBoundsInParent().getMaxY(), newBounds.getHeight())
);
}
});
...
// adjust the view layout based on the node scalefactor.
final ToggleButton scale = new ToggleButton("Scale");
scale.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
#Override public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
if (scale.isSelected()) {
node.setScaleX(3); node.setScaleY(3);
} else {
node.setScaleX(1); node.setScaleY(1);
}
// runlater as we want to size the container after a layout pass has been performed on the scaled node.
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
#Override public void run() {
nodeContainer.setPrefSize(
Math.max(nodeContainer.getBoundsInParent().getMaxX(), scrollPane.getViewportBounds().getWidth()),
Math.max(nodeContainer.getBoundsInParent().getMaxY(), scrollPane.getViewportBounds().getHeight())
);
}
});
}
});
