I'm extremely new to JavaFX, and I'm attempting to get a button(specifically scrapeBtn
) into the bottom right corner of an application. Here is what I have so far:
package main;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Driver extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button scrapeBtn = new Button();
scrapeBtn.setText("Scrape!");
scrapeBtn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Scrape button pressed.");
}
});
TextField console = new TextField();
GridPane root = new GridPane();
GridPane.setConstraints(scrapeBtn, 2, 2, 1, 1);
root.getChildren().add(scrapeBtn);
root.getChildren().add(console);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
primaryStage.setTitle("Wiki Scraper");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
Any ideas as to how I could accomplish this? Some tips in general to aligning and formatting things with JavaFX would also be really appreciated.
Thanks.
I often use a BorderPane
for similar purposes (eg a Dialog with some text and controls etc. at the center and one or more buttons at the bottom). Therefore, I use the BorderPane
as root and a HBox
as "button container" at the bottom. Finally, I set the botton alignment to "RIGHT".
Here an example based on your code:
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
// center
VBox vbCenter = new VBox(); // use any container as center pane e.g. VBox
TextField console = new TextField();
vbCenter.getChildren().add(console);
// bottom respectively "button area"
HBox hbButtons = new HBox();
Button scrapeBtn = new Button();
scrapeBtn.setText("Scrape!");
scrapeBtn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Scrape button pressed.");
}
});
hbButtons.getChildren().add(scrapeBtn);
hbButtons.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER_RIGHT);
// root
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
root.setPadding(new Insets(20)); // space between elements and window border
root.setCenter(vbCenter);
root.setBottom(hbButtons);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 400);
primaryStage.setTitle("Wiki Scraper");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
This code leads to this (after resizing the window a little bit):
You can use two BorderPanes to place a control bottom right
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
BorderPane bottom = new BorderPane();
bottom.setRight(new Button("I am placed bottom right"));
root.setBottom(bottom);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setWidth(400);
primaryStage.setHeight(400);
primaryStage.show();
}
