I have a JavaFX with 3 scenes, let's call them A, B, C. From scene A, I go to scene B by pressing a button. From scene B, I go to scene C in the same manner. Now comes the problem. In the C scene, I need the data from a text field that is in A scene. I tried creating a class member field in C controller and setting it from A scene but it doesn't work, since to go to scene C, I call the load() method in scene B ( so basically it's a new instance of C controller).
Ok, so I have the ResetPasswordPage.fxml with this corresponding controller:
public class ResetPasswordPageController {
private DatabaseAccess databaseAccess = new DatabaseAccess();
private String username;
@FXML
private TextField userFieldResetPasswordPage;
@FXML
void goToVerificationPage(ActionEvent event) {
ResultSet resultSet = databaseAccess.executeSelectQuery("SELECT email FROM USER WHERE username = ?",
new Object[] { userFieldResetPasswordPage.getText() });
try {
if (!resultSet.next()) {
System.out.println("User doesn't exist");
return;
}
String email = resultSet.getString("email");
this.username = userFieldResetPasswordPage.getText();
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("NewPasswordPage.fxml"));
Parent parent = fxmlLoader.load();
NewPasswordPageController newPasswordPageController = fxmlLoader.getController();
newPasswordPageController.setUser(userFieldResetPasswordPage.getText()); // this is useless since I dont't
// go directly to
// NewPasswordPage, so I will
// have to call load method once
// again from the next screen
int key = EmailSender.generateRandomKey();
EmailSender.sendEmail(email, key);
FXMLLoader fxmlLoader1 = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("CodeVerificationPage.fxml"));
Parent parent1 = fxmlLoader1.load();
CodeVerificationPageController codeVerificationPageController = fxmlLoader1.getController();
codeVerificationPageController.setGeneratedKey(key);
Utilities.changeScene(event, parent1);
} catch (SQLException | IOException | MessagingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getUser() {
return username;
}
The problem here is that I don't go directly from ResetPasswordPage to NewPasswordPage but there is an intermediary page (CodeVerificationPage), so if I set the field here in the ResetPasswordPage it will have no effect because the NewPasswordPage scene is created from CodeVerificationPage (the intermediary page)..
