I'm brand new to javafx so apologies for the basic question!
My question is how to add a 2nd fxml inside a pane from the 1st fxml.
I've got a mini program here.
public class Main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
try {
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/fxml1.fxml"));
Parent root = loader.load();
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
and FXML1 controller
@FXML
private Button button;
@FXML
private Pane pane;
@FXML
void load(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
Pane fp = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/fxml2.fxml"));
System.out.println("This should load fxml2");
pane.getChildren().add(fp);
}
@Override
public void initialize(URL arg0, ResourceBundle arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
I keep getting NPE from the FXML field pane
Hope this makes any sense
cheers
