JAVAFX: cannot find the relative path to a file

Question

I need to add the file style.css as stylesheet to a scene. I am trying to do this inside the class ScreenController which is in the package justAnotherChessGame.model. The file is in the same directory but in a different package. How can I find the relative path? Project structure

Answer 1

Use Class.getResource to access files bundled in an application:

scene.getStylesheets().add(MainView.class.getResource("style.css").toString());

You will need to import MainView so the compiler recognizes its name.

Answer 2

If your scene is sc and pane is p in ScreenController,

Scene sc = new Scene(p, 400, 300);
sc.getStylesheets().add("/justAnotherChessGame/view/style.css");
primaryStage.setScene(sc);

You need to study about this case.
