I'm trying to create an address book using JavaFX. So far I've created the main window, I've created the ObeservableList that contains all of my person data, and a method to return said list since it's private. I have all of the contacts in the list being displayed correctly with along with their information in the primaryStage. When I click "new" to add a new contact, and I fill out their information in a second window then click the confirm/okay button I get some errors.
Here is my Main Class: (I apologize for posting so much code)
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
public class Main extends Application {
private Stage primaryStage;
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
this.primaryStage = primaryStage;
mainWindow();
}
public void mainWindow() {
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(Main.class.getResource("MainWindowView.fxml"));
AnchorPane pane = loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(pane);
MainWindowController controller = loader.getController();
controller.setMain(this);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setResizable(false);
primaryStage.show();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void newPersonWindow() {
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(Main.class.getResource("NewPersonView.fxml"));
AnchorPane pane = loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(pane);
Stage stage = new Stage();
NewPersonController controller = loader.getController();
controller.setMain(this, stage);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.setResizable(false);
stage.show();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private ObservableList<Person> personData = FXCollections.observableArrayList(); // plain list that contains all of our data *note it's private so we must create a method to call it
public ObservableList<Person> getPersonData() { // method that returns the private personData list
return personData;
}
public Main() { // create the constructor of the main class
//adds person
personData.add(new Person("Carson", "Clark", "250-415-6675", "Vancouver", "g8y-4d2", "[email protected]")); // a new instance from the person model
personData.add(new Person("John", "Smith", "543-476-4188", "Victoria", "x8g-4a2", "[email protected]"));
personData.add(new Person("Eric", "Ranch", "762-562-5477", "New York", "k8b4s4", "[email protected]"));
personData.add(new Person("Sam", "Smith", "425-475-6512", "Washington", "b8y-9d2", "[email protected]"));
personData.add(new Person("Jake", "Carter", "462-888-1705", "Nanimo", "h8x-4c8", "[email protected]"));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
Here is my NewPersonController class:
package application;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class NewPersonController {
@FXML private TextField firstNameField, lastNameField, phoneField, cityField, postalField, emailField;
private Stage stage;
private Main main;
public void setMain(Main main, Stage stage) {
this.main = main;
this.stage = stage;
}
@FXML
public void handleConfirm() { // I think this is where the error is occuring but I'm not sure why
Person person = new Person(
firstNameField.getText(),
lastNameField.getText(),
phoneField.getText(),
cityField.getText(),
postalField.getText(),
emailField.getText()
);
main.getPersonData().add(person);
stage.close();
}
@FXML
public void handelCancel() {
stage.close();
}
}
And finally here is the console output after selecting the confirm button in the new contact window:

Thanks to everyone who reads this post, I know it's a lot but I've been working on this for over 2 days now and I've gotten nowhere. Any ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks again.
This is your problem. What are you trying to do here?
main.getPersonData().add(person);
Your programming structure is confusing. Instead of creating a new controller and view to add new users. I would use a Javafx Dialog that opens when a button(btnAddNewUser) is pressed.
