I am working on a java assignment and so I am not quite a "Jedi Master"
when it comes Java, and in fact more at the "trainer wheels stage",
and so still coming to grips with Java FX stages and scenes..
anyway here is a some prototype code that shows the problem I am having...
[ These all reside in the testingMenuAction package]
My main class: " testingMenuAction_main.java"
package testingMenuAction;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class testingMenuAction_main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/testingMenuAction/testingMenuAction.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
My main Java FXML file: "testingMenuAction.fxml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Menu?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.MenuBar?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<AnchorPane fx:id="testingMenuActionPage" prefHeight="195.0" prefWidth="494.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/11.0.1" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="testingMenuAction.testingMenuActionController">
<children>
<VBox prefHeight="186.0" prefWidth="493.0">
<children>
<MenuBar>
<menus>
<Menu mnemonicParsing="false" text="Data">
<items>
<MenuItem fx:id="mnu_data_import" mnemonicParsing="false" text="Import File" />
</items>
</Menu>
</menus>
</MenuBar>
</children>
</VBox>
</children>
</AnchorPane>
My controller class for my Java FXML file: "testingMenuActionController.java"
package testingMenuAction;
import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.MenuItem;
import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
import javafx.stage.FileChooser;
import javafx.stage.FileChooser.ExtensionFilter;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.stage.Window;
public class testingMenuActionController implements Initializable {
@FXML
private AnchorPane testingMenuActionPage;
@FXML
private MenuItem mnu_data_import;
//this tests the operation of the alert dialog
//private Stage export_chooser_stage;
//===================================================================================================================
/*
* This method will initialiise the UI
*/
@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb)
{
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
* This is the mnu_data_import.setOnAction((event)
*/
mnu_data_import.setOnAction((event) ->
{
System.out.println("You clicked to Import Data");
FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
fileChooser.setTitle("Open Resource File");
fileChooser.getExtensionFilters().addAll(
new ExtensionFilter("Text Files", "*.csv") );
File selectedFile = fileChooser.showOpenDialog( mnu_data_import.getScene().getWindow() );
String FileNamePath = selectedFile.toString();
System.out.println("File name and path to file :" + FileNamePath);
});// close
}// close public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb)
}// close public class testingMenuActionController
The compiler is complaining with the following instruction:
"File selectedFile = fileChooser.showOpenDialog( mnu_data_import.getScene().getWindow() );"
Giving the following error message...
"The method getScene() is undefined for the type MenuItem"
Unfortunately my experinece with Java Windows, Stage, Scenes, and Nodes is still small
[as I still on my "trainer wheels.."]...
As a result, would some one be able to help me?
