JavaFx: how make a clickable image using scenebuilder

Question

I wanted to know how to make clickable image using ImageView which takes me to another FXML using scene builder. I am using eclipse IDE.

Solution 1

I've never used scene builder, but you can just call setOnMouseClicked(EventHandler<MouseEvent> event) on the ImageView object.

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ImageClickExample extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        ImageView img = new ImageView("http://i.stack.imgur.com/oURrw.png");
        img.setPickOnBounds(true); // allows click on transparent areas
        img.setOnMouseClicked((MouseEvent e) -> {
            System.out.println("Clicked!"); // change functionality
        });
        Scene scene = new Scene(new StackPane(img));
        primaryStage.setTitle("Image Click Example");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.sizeToScene();
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

}

1)Create a Button or (Label 🍄) in SceneBuilder

2)Add an ImageView to the Button using SceneBuilder

Relevant question:here

3)Use CSS:

    1)Inside the `SceneBuilder` or

    2)Using an external css file(with styleclass or with css id) as shown above i have added all the three ways(choose one :) ):

  .crazyButton{
      -fx-background-color:transparent;
      -fx-border-color:transparent;
      -fx-text-fill:transparent;    
  }

  or


  #myButton{
     -fx-background-color:transparent;
     -fx-border-color:transparent;
     -fx-text-fill:transparent;    
  }

👀 Here you can play with the method setPickOnBounds(true/false); if you want the transparent areas of the Button to receive click events.

4)Add an ActionListener or MouseListener to the Button using SceneBuilder or plain Java Code

Lets start with scenebuilder, open the fxml file. Drag-and-drop ImageView from Scenebuilder library(right panel). Once added, select the ImageView and give it a fx:id "iView" in this case, then goto Code section and add a function name in OnMouseClicked field. I named my function "LoginUser".

:

Now open the controller file in eclipse IDE.

define the function with @FXML tag:

@FXML
private boolean LoginUser() throws ClassNotFoundException {
    Stage mainStage = (Stage) iView.getScene().getWindow();

    try {
            Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("file.fxml"));
            Scene scene = new Scene(root);
            mainStage.setScene(scene);
            mainStage.setTitle("Test Window");
        }
            catch(Exception e){}
}

Load the fxml file you want to on image click.
