getHostServices(); Method not found.

Question

I want to open pdf files using the code below, but method getHostServices(); is not found even though i have the right imports.

import javafx.application.HostServices;

ClinicFiles clinicFiles = (ClinicFiles) listViewClinic.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem(); 
HostServices hostServices = getHostServices();
hostServices.showDocument(clinicFiles.getAbsolutePath());

Answer 1

Probably, your class is not extending from javafx.application.Application:

For example:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.application.HostServices;

public class App extends Application {
    public void method(String[] args) {
        ClinicFiles clinicFiles = (ClinicFiles) listViewClinic.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();
        HostServices hostServices = getHostServices();
        hostServices.showDocument(clinicFiles.getAbsolutePath());
    }
}
