[FIXED] PropertyValueFactory JavaFX

Issue

I want to create a table view in Javafx.

UploaderColumn.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<User, String>("Uploader Name"));

For what should be the String parameter where I added "Uploader Name" used for? In my case I added the text of the column from my fxml file. It seems to be wrong since I get the following error:

WARNING: Can not retrieve property 'Uploader Name' in PropertyValueFactory:

Solution

You need to specify a JavaFX property name in the quotes, instead of "Uploader Name".

So say you change your line to read:

UploaderColumn.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<User, String>("uploaderName"));

Then, in your User class, you'd need a property method called uploaderNameProperty().

If no such method is defined, the factory will try to use the bean methods getUploaderName() and setUploaderName().

This is described in length here: https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm#CJAGAAEE
