Writing a Desktop Application with JavaFX

I decided to write an executable jar file with a convenient interface for calculating my everyday work tasks. I started with the simplest ones.

It is necessary to determine the critical shear stresses based on the type of attachment and the aspect ratio of the rectangular plate.



Let's start by setting up the interface, and we'll take Scene Builder to help.



Let's create a workspace with a size of 900x600.

Let's create several containers with sizes and margins (at first I did the markup just on a piece of paper, but the piece was already lost).

Next, let's go through the internals of the containers.



  1. Button Button

    Let's assign a unique name to our button and the name of the method in which we will then implement our code



    image

  2. TextField

    Let's give our text field a unique name. The field is needed for input / output of numeric values. We will also add an additional name to the field, which will disappear when entered by a symbol

  3. Label

    Field I used the Label field to denote the cells.

  4. Image field

    Here we specify the name of an existing image located in the project



    image

  5. CheckBox field

    Here we specify a unique name. This is necessary to determine the type of fastening

Creating the main method of the Main class



Main class
package sample;

import javafx.application.Application;

import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;

import javafx.stage.Stage;



public class Main extends Application  {

    @Override

    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        try {
//  sample.fxml( ).      
            Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("sample.fxml"));
            primaryStage.setTitle(" ");
            primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
            primaryStage.show();

        } catch(Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)  {
        launch(args);
    }
}

            }
            krit = (k * e) / (Math.pow((b / t), 2));
            String d = valueOf(krit);

        Double f = parseDouble(myTextField6.getText());
            zapas = krit/f;

Creation of two classes for applying the data input filter (Excluding letters, as well as the ability to limit the number of inputs / outputs). The solution is not mine, but I found it on stackoverflow. Of all the proposed solutions, it seemed to me the simplest and most understandable.



AlphaNumericTextFormatter Class



AlphaNumericTextFormatter Class
public class AlphaNumericTextFormatter extends TextFormatter<String> {

    /** The Constant ALPHA_NUMERIC_ONLY. */
    //private static final String ALPHA_NUMERIC_ONLY = "^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$";
    /** MAKE NUMERIC ONLY **/
    private static final String DIGITS_ONLY = "^[0-9.]*$";

    /**
     * Instantiates a new alpha numeric text formatter.
     */
    public AlphaNumericTextFormatter() {
        super(applyFilter(null));
    }

    /**
     * Instantiates a new alpha numeric text formatter.
     *
     * @param maxLength
     *            the max length
     */
    public AlphaNumericTextFormatter(int maxLength) {
        super(applyFilter(new MaxLengthTextFormatter(maxLength).getFilter()));
    }

    /**
     * Apply filter.
     *
     * @param filter
     *            the filter
     * @return the unary operator
     */
    private static UnaryOperator<Change> applyFilter(UnaryOperator<Change> filter) {
        return change -> {
            if (change.getControlNewText() != null && change.getControlNewText().matches(DIGITS_ONLY)) {
                if (filter != null) {
                    filter.apply(change);
                }
                return change;
            }
            return null;
        };
    }

}




MaxLengthTextFormatter Class



Code Listing

package sample;

import java.util.function.UnaryOperator;
import javafx.scene.control.TextFormatter;
import javafx.scene.control.TextFormatter.Change;

public class MaxLengthTextFormatter extends TextFormatter<String> {
    private int maxLength;

    public MaxLengthTextFormatter(final int maxLength) {
        super(new UnaryOperator<Change>() {
            public Change apply(Change change) {
                if (change.isDeleted()) {
                    if (change.getControlNewText().length() > maxLength) {
                        change.setText(change.getText().substring(0, maxLength));
                    }
                } else if (change.getControlText().length() + change.getText().length() >= maxLength) {
                    int maxPos = maxLength - change.getControlText().length();
                    change.setText(change.getText().substring(0, maxPos));
                }

                return change;
            }
        });
        this.maxLength = maxLength;
    }

    public int getMaxLength() {
        return this.maxLength;
    }
}




Well, at the end of creating the jar file

That's all. Now the file is ready that will run on any computer with java installed.
