[FIXED] Javafx tableview checkbox to hide unwanted rows?

Issue

I'm trying to do some reports by hiding some rows from a tableview (I made in scenebuilder) by using a checkbox. If the object from tableview doesn't have in the column a specific String, it becomes invisible. example: By clicking the checkbox, hide all rows that dont have the exact value "Barcelona" in table_adress. I tried to do this, but I keep complicating myself. Any ideas?

the function

@FXML
     void CakeRequestsFromBarcelona(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {
        for(Object cake:table.getItems()) {
            for (TableColumn column : table.getColumns()) {
                //not sure how to write it
            }
        }
    }

initialize

    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, Integer> table_ID;
    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, String> table_adress;
    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, String> table_design;
    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, String> table_flavour;
    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, String> table_model;
    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, String> table_name;
    @FXML
    private TableColumn<CakeRequest, String> table_phonenumber;
    @FXML
    private TableView<CakeRequest> table;

public void initialize(){
        //cakeRequest
        table_ID.setCellValueFactory(
                p-> new SimpleIntegerProperty(p.getValue().getID()).asObject()
        );
        table_name.setCellValueFactory(
                p -> new SimpleStringProperty(p.getValue().getOwnerName())
        );
        table_adress.setCellValueFactory(
                p -> new SimpleStringProperty(p.getValue().getOwnerAddress())
        );
        table_phonenumber.setCellValueFactory(
                p -> new SimpleStringProperty(p.getValue().getPhoneNumber())
        );
        table_flavour.setCellValueFactory(
                p -> new SimpleStringProperty(p.getValue().getFlavour())
        );
        table_design.setCellValueFactory(
                p -> new SimpleStringProperty(p.getValue().getDesign())
        );
        table_model.setCellValueFactory(
                p -> new SimpleStringProperty(p.getValue().getModel())
        );
}

CakeRequest

public class CakeRequest implements Identifiable<Integer>, Serializable{
    private int ID;
    private String OwnerName;
    private String OwnerAddress;
    private String PhoneNumber;
    private String Model;
    private String Flavour;
    private String Design;

Solution

Use a FilteredList and change the predicate when the check box is checked/unchecked:

private ObservableList<CakeRequest> data = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
private FilteredList<CakeRequest> filteredData = new FilteredList<>(data, request -> true);

public void initialize(){
    // existing code...
    table.setItems(filteredData);
}

@FXML
void cakeRequestsFromBarcelona(ActionEvent event)  {
    if (checkBox.isChecked()) {
        filteredData.setPredicate(request -> request.getOwnerAddress().contains("Barcelona"));
    } else {
        filteredData.setPredicate(request -> true);
    }
}
