I have a problem with JavaFX 11 ComboBoxes. I have one entry that resets the combobox. But the following Code always ends in an IndexOutOfBoundException.

if (combobox_class.getValue() != null && 
      combobox_class.getValue().equals("Bitte wählen ...")) {
      combobox_class.setPromptText("Bitte wählen");
      combobox_class.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
}

If I run this code, I'll get the following error message:

Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: [ fromIndex: 0, toIndex: 1, size: 0 ]

I already tried to reset the Combobox with myCombobox.setValue(null) but this returns the same error message.

Thanks for your help.

  • Use `Platform.runLater`. See [https://stackoverflow.com/a/40467518/1943882](https://stackoverflow.com/a/40467518/1943882) – avistein Apr 15 '19 at 16:11
  • Thanks, that removes the error, but JavaFx still doesn't set the promptText – Marvin Apr 15 '19 at 21:51
