I am trying to set the text to different labels using setText() method. I do tried to print the value to check whether the setText receives null or not. But I am able to successfully print the value in the console but why not able to set it to a label is what my question is.
Any suggestions would be helpful to resolve this NullPointerException.
PersonOverviewController.java
package passion.controllers;
import passion.models.Person;
import javafx.application.Platform;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;

public class PersonOverviewController{
@FXML

public PersonOverviewController() {
}
@FXML
private void initialize() {
// Initialize the person table with the two columns.
firstNameColumn.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().firstNameProperty());
lastNameColumn.setCellValueFactory(cellData -> cellData.getValue().lastNameProperty());
try{
//showPersonDetails(null);
//personTable.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener( (observable, oldValue, newValue) -> showPersonDetails(newValue));
personTable.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Person>(){
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Person> observable, Person oldValue, Person newValue) {
System.out.println(newValue);
showPersonDetails(newValue);
}
});
}catch(NullPointerException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void showTableViewData(MainApp mainApp) {
personTable.setItems(mainApp.getPersonData());
}
public void showPersonDetails(Person person){
Platform.runLater(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
if(person != null){
System.out.println(person.getFirstName());
firstNameLabel.setText(person.getFirstName());
System.out.println("test");
lastNameLabel.setText(person.getLastName());
streetLabel.setText(person.getStreet());
postalCodeLabel.setText(Integer.toString(person.getPostalCode()));
cityLabel.setText(person.getCity());
birthdayLabel.setText(person.getBirthday().toString());
}else{
firstNameLabel.setText("");
lastNameLabel.setText("");
streetLabel.setText("");
postalCodeLabel.setText("");
cityLabel.setText("");
birthdayLabel.setText("");
}
}
});
}
}
This is how I am loading the controller from MainApp.java
public void showPersonOverview(){
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(MainApp.class.getResource("/passion/viewControllers/PersonOverView.fxml"));
AnchorPane personOverview = (AnchorPane)loader.load();
root.setCenter(personOverview);
PersonOverviewController personController = loader.getController();
personController.showTableViewData(this);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
