Does JavaFX have a function similar to onInit?

JavaFX doesn't have a direct equivalent to an onInit
function. However, you can achieve similar functionality using the initialize
method of the Initializable
interface, which is commonly used in conjunction with JavaFX controllers.
Here's how you can achieve this:
- Create a JavaFX controller class that implements the
Initializable
interface.
javaimport javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
public class MyController implements Initializable {
@FXML
private Label label;
@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle resourceBundle) {
// Code to run when the controller is initialized
label.setText("Initialized");
}
}
- In your FXML file, specify the controller class using the
fx:controller
attribute:
xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<AnchorPane xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8.0.141" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1"
fx:controller="your.package.MyController">
<Label fx:id="label" text="Label" layoutX="10" layoutY="10"/>
</AnchorPane>
- In your main application class, load the FXML and initialize the JavaFX application:
javaimport javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import java.io.IOException;
public class MainApp extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws IOException {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("your_fxml_file.fxml"));
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(loader.load()));
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
When the FXML is loaded and the controller is initialized, the initialize
method in your controller class will be called, allowing you to perform any initialization tasks you need.
Keep in mind that the initialize
method is called during the JavaFX application lifecycle, typically after the FXML file is loaded and its components are ready.
