New positioning

Question

Hi guys ,
Please check the code below
public VBox getVBox() {
        VBox myBox = new VBox();
        myBox.setSpacing(20);
        myBox.setLayoutX(20);
        myBox.setLayoutY(20);
        TableView<Person> tableView = new TableView<Person>();
        TableColumn firstNameCol = new TableColumn("First Name");
        firstNameCol.setProperty(firstName);
        firstNameCol.setMaxWidth(100);
        TableColumn lastNameCol = new TableColumn("Last Name");
        lastNameCol.setProperty(lastName);
        lastNameCol.setMaxWidth(100);
        TableColumn cityNameCol = new TableColumn("city");
        cityNameCol.setProperty(addName);
        cityNameCol.setMaxWidth(100);
        TableColumn addNameCol = new TableColumn("Address");
        addNameCol.setMaxWidth(100);
        addNameCol.setProperty(cityName);
        TableColumn postNameCol = new TableColumn("PostCode");
        TableColumn notesNameCol = new TableColumn("Street");
        TableColumn tableNameCol = new TableColumn("Notes");
        tableView.getColumns().addAll(firstNameCol, lastNameCol, cityNameCol, addNameCol, postNameCol, notesNameCol, tableNameCol);
        myBox.getChildren().addAll(tableView);
        return myBox;
    }  The person object consists of various getter, setter methods and get the complete result from database. but how to assign them to corresponding table columns ? any sample example to bring in data into table ??
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is an example:
Person.java
import javafx.beans.property.*;
public class Person {
     private StringProperty firstName = new StringProperty();;
     public Person(String fName, String lName) {
       setFirstName(fName);
       setLastName(lName);          
     public void setFirstName(String value) { firstName.set(value); }
     public String getFirstName() { return firstName.get(); }
     public StringProperty firstNameProperty() {
         if (firstName == null) firstName = new StringProperty();
         return firstName;
     private StringProperty lastName = new StringProperty();
     public void setLastName(String value) { lastName.set(value); }
     public String getLastName() { return lastName.get(); }
     public StringProperty lastNameProperty() {
         if (lastName == null) lastName = new StringProperty();
         return lastName;

        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.LIGHTGREEN);
        TableView<Person> table = new TableView<Person>();
        // Data could come  from DB
        ObservableList<Person> teamMembers = FXCollections.observableArrayList(new Person("Diego", "Maradona"), new Person("Mishel", "Platini"));
        table.setItems(teamMembers);
        TableColumn<String> firstNameCol = new TableColumn<String>("First Name");
        firstNameCol.setProperty("firstName");
        TableColumn<String> lastNameCol = new TableColumn<String>("Last Name");
        lastNameCol.setProperty("lastName");
        table.getColumns().setAll(firstNameCol, lastNameCol);
        root.getChildren().add(table);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.setVisible(true);
