I'm building a Swing application and I'm using JFXPanel to bring up a WebView for user authentication. I need to return the url that the WebEngine is sent to after a successful user sign-on- but I don't know how to pull the URL from the view at the time the window is closed. I'm aware of Stage.setOnHiding, but this can't apply here since JFXPanels don't act as stages, though they contain a scene.
I'm very new to JavaFX so if this code snippet demonstrates bad conventions, I'd be happy to hear it!
private static void buildAuthBrowser() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("frame");
final JFXPanel fxPanel = new JFXPanel();
frame.add(fxPanel);
frame.setSize(800, 600);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
initFX(fxPanel);
}
});
}
private static void initFX(JFXPanel fxPanel) {
// fx thread
Scene scene = createScene();
fxPanel.setScene(scene);
}
private static Scene createScene() {
Group root = new Group();
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
WebView view = new WebView();
WebEngine browser = view.getEngine();
browser.load(auth.getUrl());
root.getChildren().add(view);
return (scene);
}
Found a solution- I was able to set a listener on the engine in the scene builder method, this way, every time the browser visits a new URL it automatically updates a private variable.
in createScene():
authBrowser.getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) -> {
if (Worker.State.SUCCEEDED.equals(newValue)) {
setCode(authBrowser.getLocation());
}
});
