Hi first time here but here goes:
I have a JavaFX application that changes the FXML UI labels dynamically and the data is pulled from a Player class.
The two classes in question are Player.java
and InterfaceHandler.java
.
The player class stores player details and I want to pass the details to the Interface class which sets the text on the labels.
As a test my FXML UI just has a button and two labels.
If it click the button it calls the handleButton
method it sets locationLabel
to "Town" fine.
However if I call the locationLabel()
method in my Player class I get a NullPointerException when nameLabel.setText(name)
is called. Through debugging I find that the name string in the Interface class is what it should be "Dan".
Can anyone help?
Main class:
public class Main extends Application {
public void start(final Stage mainStage) throws Exception {
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("MainScreen.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
mainStage.setTitle("Main Screen");
mainStage.setScene(scene);
mainStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Player class:
public class Player{
InterfaceHandler ui = new InterfaceHandler();
public void setNameLabel() {
String name = "Dan";
ui.setName(name);
}
InterfaceHandler class:
public class InterfaceHandler implements Initializable {
public Label nameLabel;
public Label locationLabel;
public void handleButton(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
locationLabel.setText("Town");
}
public void setName(String name){
nameLabel.setText(name);
}
}
