ListCellFactory - how to access an object's data associated with list cell?

Question

I am new to javafx and building a sample app to learn the basics. The app has a list view control and used listcellfactory to create listcells. Each list cell is composed of few labels and image. I populated list view with listViewItems function, where in it sends object[]; I have my own object with data that needs to be populated in the list cell. I have hard coded the object[] and that size is reflected in list view items size. However, I am not able to populate the object data in individual labels.
In the following code, I can only get the string representation of the object and I am unable to figure out how to individually access the object's data. Please help me with this.
function listCellFactory(): javafx.scene.control.ListCell {
var listCell: javafx.scene.control.ListCell;
def offerLbl: javafx.scene.control.Label = javafx.scene.control.Label {
text: bind "{listCell.item}"
def descriptionLbl: javafx.scene.control.Label = javafx.scene.control.Label {
text: bind "{listCell.item}"
def friendLbl: javafx.scene.control.Label = javafx.scene.control.Label {
text: bind "{listCell.item}"
def offerImgView: javafx.scene.image.ImageView = javafx.scene.image.ImageView {
image: imagetrial
fitWidth: 300.0
fitHeight: 250.0
def offerVerticalBox: javafx.scene.layout.VBox = javafx.scene.layout.VBox {
content: [ offerLbl, descriptionLbl, friendLbl, offerImgView, ]
spacing: 6.0
listCell = javafx.scene.control.ListCell {
node: offerVerticalBox
return listCell
}

Answer 1

If I understand you question, it should be (listCell.data as YourClassName)
