I have a ListSelectionView (from the ControlsFX library) in JavaFX and I need it to display a set of values when a particular button is clicked. It displays the values when I place the add the contents into it in the initialize method. But when I place the same code in the event action method of a button it doesn't display. I have another method which gets the Source items and Target items from the ListSelectionView and displays them. Even though the ListSelectionView isn't displaying anything, the getSourceItems() method returns a set of values which are then displayed.
public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {
@FXML
private Label label;
@FXML
private Button button;
@FXML
private JFXListView<Label> listv;
@FXML
private ListSelectionView<Label> abc;
@FXML
private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("You clicked me!");
label.setText("Hello World!");
}
@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
}
@FXML
private void handleToggle(MouseEvent event) {
ObservableList<Label> users = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
abc.setSourceHeader(new Label("Present"));
abc.setTargetHeader(new Label("Absent"));
for (int i=0; i<4;i++)
{
users.add(new Label("Name "+i));
}
abc.setSourceItems(users);
abc.setDisable(false);
for (int i=0; i<4;i++)
{
Label k = new Label("Hello"+i);
listv.getItems().add(k);
}
}
@FXML
private void handlenewNOde(MouseEvent event) {
ObservableList<Label> users1 =abc.getSourceItems();
System.out.println("Source items");
for(int i =0; i<users1.size(); i++)
{
Label k=users1.get(i);
System.out.println(k.getText());
}
System.out.println("Target items");
ObservableList<Label> users12 =abc.getTargetItems();
for(int i =0; i<users12.size(); i++)
{
Label k=users12.get(i);
System.out.println(k.getText());
}
}
}

Ignore the JFXListView. Output:
