I have a table (TableView
) in which there is frequent repetition of a group of columns (for example, name and address). I group these columns as sub-columns of a common column
<TableColumn text="Получател">
<columns>
<TableColumn text="ЕИК"/>
<TableColumn text="ЗДДС №"/>
<TableColumn text="Име"/>
<TableColumn text="Адрес"/>
<TableColumn text="Материално отговорно лице"/>
<TableColumn text="Получател"/>
</columns>
</TableColumn>
I export this group of columns to user control
<fx:root type="com.example.CompanyTableColumn" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml"
text="${controller.name}">
<columns>
<TableColumn fx:id="eikColumn" text="ЕИК"/>
<TableColumn fx:id="vatColumn" text="ЗДДС №"/>
<TableColumn fx:id="nameColumn" text="Име"/>
<TableColumn fx:id="addressColumn" text="Адрес"/>
<TableColumn text="Материално отговорно лице"/>
</columns>
</fx:root>
public class CompanyTableColumn extends TableColumn<Invoice, Company> {
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> eikColumn;
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> vatColumn;
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> nameColumn;
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> addressColumn;
private StringProperty name = new SimpleStringProperty();
public CompanyTableColumn() {
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("/com/example/table_column_company.fxml"));
loader.setRoot(this);
loader.setController(this);
loader.load();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@FXML
private void initialize() {
}
public String getName() {
return name.get();
}
public StringProperty nameProperty() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name.set(name);
}
}
By initializing user control as follows
<TableView fx:id="tableView">
<columns>
<CompanyTableColumn fx:id="supplierColumn" name="Доставчик"/>
<CompanyTableColumn fx:id="receiverColumn" name="Получател"/>
<columns>
</TableView>
supplierColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleObjectProperty<>(cdf.getValue().getSupplier()));
receiverColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleObjectProperty<>(cdf.getValue().getReceiver()));
And here comes my problem. In the example, the two controls must visualize data from different instances of the Company
model. I submit the various instances by creating a CellValueFactory but I don't see how I can access the specific value in CompanyTableColumn
so I can use it in the factories that create the values of the nested columns.
edit
As usual, the solution is found shortly after the question is asked:
@FXML
private void initialize() {
eikColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getEik()));
vatColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getVat()));
nameColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getName()));
addressColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getAddress()));
}
The solution I found consisted of calling TableColumn::getCellObservableValue
using the value corresponding to the corresponding row in the table as a parameter (returned by the CellDataFeatures
object used in the callback function to generate a value)
public class CompanyTableColumn extends TableColumn<Invoice, Company> {
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> eikColumn;
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> vatColumn;
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> nameColumn;
@FXML
private TableColumn<Invoice, String> addressColumn;
private StringProperty name = new SimpleStringProperty();
public CompanyTableColumn() {
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader();
loader.setLocation(getClass().getResource("/com/example/table_column_company.fxml"));
loader.setRoot(this);
loader.setController(this);
loader.load();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@FXML
private void initialize() {
eikColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getEik()));
vatColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getVat()));
nameColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getName()));
addressColumn.setCellValueFactory(cdf -> new SimpleStringProperty(getCellObservableValue(cdf.getValue()).getValue().getAddress()));
}
public String getName() {
return name.get();
}
public StringProperty nameProperty() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name.set(name);
}
}
