I am trying to call the showRecords method in MainApp.java from LoginController.java, but I am facing some difficulties while trying to accomplish this. When I use the constructor so that I can use showRecords, a InvocationTargetException was thrown and I have no idea how to fix. I have tried to follow the answers in other similar questions, but I could not manage to fix the code myself.
How can I call showRecords and methods in other classes in the future?
MainApp.java

import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class MainApp extends Application{
static final String title = "title";
private Stage primaryStage;
private BorderPane rootLayout;
private ObservableList<Person> personData = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage){
this.primaryStage = primaryStage;
this.primaryStage.setTitle(getAppTitle());
initRootLayout();
showLogin();
}
public MainApp(){
}
public void initRootLayout(){
try{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(MainApp.class.getResource("record/view/RootLayout.fxml"));
rootLayout = (BorderPane)loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(rootLayout);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void showLogin(){
try{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(MainApp.class.getResource("login/view/LoginPanel.fxml"));
BorderPane records = (BorderPane)loader.load();
rootLayout.setCenter(records);
}catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void showRecords(){
try{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(MainApp.class.getResource("record/view/RecordViewer.fxml"));
AnchorPane records = (AnchorPane)loader.load();
rootLayout.setCenter(records);
}catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args){
launch(args);
}
public static String getAppTitle(){
return title;

public ObservableList<Person> getPersonData(){

public Stage getPrimaryStage(){

}
}
