How to add TableView footer in JavaFx TableView

Question

I am stuck on how to add table footer or column footer in JavaFX TableView. I am looking to add a TableView which will show purchased items with quantities and sells price in columns and total items count and total sum at the TableView footer. I looked at various resources, but could not find footer property associated with TableView. Any idea how to do it?

Model Class

    package javafxapplication8;
    
    public class TestModel {
    
        private String itemName = null;
    
        private int pricePerUnit = 0;
    
        private double quantity = 0.0;
    
        private double amount = 0.0;
    
        public TestModel() {
        }
    
        public TestModel(String argitemName, int argpricePerUnit, double argquantity, double argamount) {
            itemName = argitemName;
            pricePerUnit = argpricePerUnit;
            quantity = argquantity;
            amount = argamount;
    
        }
    
        public void setItemName(String argitemName) {
            itemName = argitemName;
        }
    
        public void setPricePerUnit(int argpricePerUnit) {
            pricePerUnit = argpricePerUnit;
        }
    
        public void setQuantity(double argquantity) {
            quantity = argquantity;
        }
    
        public void setAmount(double argamount) {
            amount = argamount;
        }
    
        public String getItemName() {
            return itemName;
        }
    
        public int getPricePerUnit() {
            return pricePerUnit;
        }
    
        public double getQuantity() {
            return quantity;
        }
    
        public double getAmount() {
            return amount;
        }
    
        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return this.itemName + "" + this.pricePerUnit + "" + this.quantity + "" + this.amount;
        }
    
    }

Your updated question was reopened, and the image provided suggests that, instead of a footer, you want two summary fields. As your table is not editable, a simple approximation is illustrated here—add two labels to the view, and iterate the table's model in the controller to establish the localized result:

TVCTestModel.fxml:

…
<bottom>
    <HBox alignment="CENTER_RIGHT" style="-fx-spacing: 5px;">
        <children>
            <Label fx:id="labelQ"/>
            <Label fx:id="labelA"/>
        </children>
    </HBox>
</bottom>
…

TVCTestModel.java

@FXML private Label labelQ;
@FXML private Label labelA;

@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
    …
    double sumQuantity = 0;
    double sumAmout = 0;
    for (TestModel o : objList) {
        sumQuantity += o.getQuantity();
        sumAmout += o.getAmount();
    }
    labelQ.setText("Quantity: "
        + NumberFormat.getNumberInstance().format(sumQuantity));
    labelA.setText("Amount: "
       + NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance().format(sumAmout));
}

If you later decide to make your table editable, as shown here, you should consider these modifications:

• Migrate to observable properties in your model class, as shown here, here and here.

• To minimize arithmetic errors, derive the amount value, as shown here, or use a custom cell factory, as shown here.

• Create your ObservableList model with an extractor, as shown here and here; your extractor would include properties for quantity and amount; your controller could then update the summary field in a ListChangeListener.
