JavaFX Date Picker specific format error

I've created a Sample Application which uses JavaFX-8 Date Picker. It works fine on default pattern but on a specific pattern it throws a exception. I'm trying to convert it on 'DD-MM-YYYY' pattern on default.

Here is the Source File of the Program Please take a look.

DatePickerController.java

package javafx.datepicker;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatterBuilder;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.DatePicker;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;
import javafx.util.StringConverter;

public class DatePickerController {

@FXML
private DatePicker dp;

@FXML
private Button btn;

@FXML
private TextArea ta;

public void initialize() {
    String pattern = "DD-MM-YYYY";
    dp.setPromptText(pattern);
    try {
        dp.setConverter(new StringConverter<LocalDate>() {
            DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(pattern);

            @Override
            public String toString(LocalDate object) {
                if (object == null) {
                    return null;
                }
                return dtf.format(object);
            }

            @Override
            public LocalDate fromString(String string) {
                if (string != null & !string.isEmpty()) {
                    return LocalDate.parse(string, dtf);
                }
                return null;
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

And here is Main Class

JavaFXDatePicker.java

package javafx.datepicker;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class JavaFXDatePicker extends Application {

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

@Override
public void start(Stage st) {
    try {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/javafx/datepicker/DatePicker.fxml"));
        Scene sc = new Scene(root);
        st.setScene(sc);
        st.setTitle("JavaFX Date Picker");
        st.show();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

And Here is FXML File

DatePicker.fxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import java.util.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="247.0" prefWidth="372.0" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1" xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/8" fx:controller="javafx.datepicker.DatePickerController">
<children>
  <DatePicker fx:id="dp" layoutX="50.0" layoutY="51.0" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="273.0" />
  <Button fx:id="btn" layoutX="50.0" layoutY="99.0" mnemonicParsing="false" prefHeight="25.0" prefWidth="273.0" text="Click" />
  <TextArea fx:id="ta" layoutX="50.0" layoutY="133.0" prefHeight="89.0" prefWidth="273.0" />
</children>
</AnchorPane>

And here is the stacktarce of the error

I tried almost every method to resolve this but always bad luck.

Please give me suggestions to resolve this and also explain this error.

Solution

  • I think you want the following:

    String pattern = "dd-MM-yyyy";
