[FIXED] JavaFX - Get TableView column by name

Issue

Is there a way to get a column from a TableView by name?

When I need to get a column I have to get it by index:

tableView.getColumns().get(i);

but I would like to get the column by name:

tableView.getColumns().get("Column Name");

Solution

It's hard to envision a situation in which you couldn't just keep references to your columns, but you can always write a method like

private <T> TableColumn<T, ?> getTableColumnByName(TableView<T> tableView, String name) {
    for (TableColumn<T, ?> col : tableView.getColumns())
        if (col.getText().equals(name)) return col ;
    return null ;
}
