Retrieve Image From Text Database and Display on Button

I would like to ask is retrieving user profile image from UserClass and display the image on a button possible in JavaFX?

I have tried using setStyle to set the image but when I run the program it shows some error.

Here is my FXML controller file

private Button button1;
UserClass user = new UserClass();
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) 
{
   button.setStyle("-fx-background-image:'"+user.Photopath()+"'");
}

Here is my simplified UserClass class code

public class UserClass
{
   private String photopath;
   public String PhotoPath() 
   {
      return "src/Pictures/womanprofile.png";
   }
}

Here is the error log

WARNING: CSS Error parsing '*{-fx-background image:'src/Pictures/womanprofile.png'}:

Solution

  • You should check if your button size are too small. Hence, it only shows your background transparent image. Try enlarge your button and see how it solve your problem.
