[FIXED] Getting selected value from combobox returns null javafx

Issue

I am trying to set and get the selected value from the the combobox (which is populated by enums) but when I try selecting an item from the combobox then printing out getSelected it returns null?

Solution

If I understand you correctly, your problem is that the following line prints null?

System.out.println(getType()); //test 

This is because

1. the value of type is not set yet
2. by default, the selected item of comboBox is null. You can set it with comboBox.getSelectionModel().select(0) //or whatever value
