Javafx GUI doesn't show up

Question

Hello I'm a new learner of javaFx fxml and i'm testing table view with fxml.But netbeans show no error in my code and i can't run my GUI application.

My code of FXMLDocument.fxml is here.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        <?import java.lang.*?>
        <?import java.util.*?>
        <?import javafx.scene.*?>
        <?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
        <?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

        <AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="359.0" prefWidth="473.0" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" fx:controller="table.FXMLDocumentController">
            <children>
                <Label fx:id="label" layoutX="126" layoutY="120" minHeight="16" minWidth="69" />
              <TableView fx:id="tableview" layoutX="137.0" layoutY="90.0" prefHeight="200.0" prefWidth="200.0">
                <columns>
                  <TableColumn fx:id="id" prefWidth="93.0" text="Id" />
                  <TableColumn fx:id="name" prefWidth="106.0" text="Name" />
                </columns>
              </TableView>
            </children>
        </AnchorPane>

And this is a fxml controller code.

package table;

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.collections.*;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.control.cell.PropertyValueFactory;

/**
 *
 * @author pyaephyohlaing
 */
public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {

    //the table's view and columns
    @FXML
    TableView<Person>tableview;
    @FXML
    TableColumn id;
    @FXML
    TableColumn name;

    //the table data
    ObservableList<Person>data = FXCollections.observableArrayList();

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {

    //setup the table data
    id.setCellValueFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<Person,Integer>("id")
    );
    name.setCellFactory(
            new PropertyValueFactory<Person,String>("name")
    );

    data.add(new Person(1,"Mg Mg"));
    tableview.setItems(data);
    System.out.println("hello");
    }    

}

Here is Person class code. (Person.java)

package table;
import javafx.beans.property.*;

// a class that represents the person data to add into the table view
public class Person {

//a variable that represent the column data neeed to be JavaFx properties(i.e SimpleStringProperty)   
//sets as the JavaFx table data property   
    public SimpleIntegerProperty id;
    public SimpleStringProperty name;

    public Person(Integer id,String name) {
        System.out.println("Hee");
        this.id=new SimpleIntegerProperty(id);
        this.name=new SimpleStringProperty(name);
    }

//getter method
    public Integer getId() {
        return  id.get();
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name.get();
    }

}

This is the main Table.java code.

package table;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

/**
 *
 * @author pyaephyohlaing
 */
public class Table extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));

        Scene scene = new Scene(root);

        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

}

And when i run my project,GUI is not appeared and it shows many errors like that.

I have no idea what's wrong with my code and can anyone help me to fix the error? Thanks.

Answer 1

In the FXMLDocumentController you set the cell factory for Id when I think you meant to set the cellValueFactory for name.

Change:

id.setCellFactory(
        new PropertyValueFactory<Person,String>("name")
);

To:

name.setCellValueFactory(
        new PropertyValueFactory<Person,String>("name")
);
