Passing Parameters JavaFX FXML

For example: The user chooses a customer from a TableView and a new window is opened, showing the customer’s info.

Here’s what the code for the event filter looks like. scene.addEventFilter(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() { @Override public void handle(MouseEvent mouseEvent) { System.out.println(“mouse click detected! ” + mouseEvent.getSource()); } });

Your MainController doesn’t have a zero-argument constructor. If the FXMLLoader encounters a fx:controller attribute on the root element, it attempts to create an instance of that controller by (effectively) calling the zero-argument constructor of the class specified in the attribute. To fix this (the simplest way), remove the fx:controller attribute from the FXML file, and … Read more
