I have looked on many pages to try and find out how to switch scenes but I have been unsuccessful.
I have a calculator and my goal is to select a menu option to change Calculators(ie: basic and scientific). Right now I am just testing so here is my code relevant to this question thus far (I am using Scene Builder):
@FXML private MenuItem basic;
@FXML private MenuItem testSwitch;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Application.launch( args );
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception
{
Parent pane = FXMLLoader.load(
getClass().getResource( "calculator.fxml" ) );
Scene scene = new Scene( pane );
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.setTitle( "Calculator" );
primaryStage.show();
}
@FXML
public void handleMenuOption(ActionEvent e)
{
if(e.getSource()==basic)
{
changeScene("calculator.fxml");
}
else if(e.getSource()==testSwitch)
{
changeScene("TestSwitch.fxml");
}
}
public void changeScene(String fxml)
{
//this prints out
System.out.println(fxml);
}
EDIT I've tried quite a few things already. No matter what, I always get this NullPointerException. I have a feeling it may have to do with setting something in scene builder but I just have not been able to find an answer

WORKING CODE:
I played around using suggestions below and used this code to make it work:
private Stage stage;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Application.launch( args );
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception
{
this.stage = primaryStage;
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass()
.getResource("calculator.fxml"));
Parent root = (Parent)loader.load();
BasicCalculatorView controller = (BasicCalculatorView)loader.getController();
controller.setModel(new BasicCalculatorModelTest(controller));
controller.setLogic(this);
primaryStage.setTitle("Calculator");
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
primaryStage.show();
}
public void switchScene(String fxmlFile)
{
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass()
.getResource(fxmlFile));
Parent root;
try
{
root = (Parent)loader.load();
if(fxmlFile.equals("calculator.fxml"))
{
BasicCalculatorView controller = (BasicCalculatorView)loader.getController();
controller.setModel(new BasicCalculatorModelTest(controller));
controller.setLogic(this);
}
else if(fxmlFile.equals("TestSwitch.fxml"))
{
TestSwitch controller = (TestSwitch)loader.getController();
controller.setLogic(this);
}
this.stage.setScene(new Scene(root));
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I wrote this controller to keep track of the different scenegraphes.
public class ScreenController {
private HashMap<String, Pane> screenMap = new HashMap<>();
private Scene main;
public ScreenController(Scene main) {
this.main = main;
}
protected void addScreen(String name, Pane pane){
screenMap.put(name, pane);
}
protected void removeScreen(String name){
screenMap.remove(name);
}
protected void activate(String name){
main.setRoot( screenMap.get(name) );
}
}
So I can write:
ScreenController screenController = new ScreenController(scene);
screenController.add("calculator", FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource( "calculator.fxml" )));
screenController.add("testSwitch", FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource( "TestSwitch.fxml" )));
screenController.activate("calculator");
This was a workaround for a fullscreen application, where the MacOS fullscreen transition was shown every time a stage switches its scene.
Instead of switching Scenes
, switch a root node on already existing Scene
If you want to go along with changing the scene you would do it like this (note that the Stage is a member of the application):
private Stage primaryStage;
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
this.primaryStage = primaryStage;
...
}
public void changeScene(String fxml){
Parent pane = FXMLLoader.load(
getClass().getResource(fxml));
Scene scene = new Scene( pane );
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
}
However as already pointed out by @Eugene_Ryzhikov it is a better solution to just change the root content of the existing scene:
public void changeScene(String fxml){
Parent pane = FXMLLoader.load(
getClass().getResource(fxml));
primaryStage.getScene().setRoot(pane);
}
It seems OP already solved it but since it is still open and unsolved i will share a solution i found in another answer. Remember to either select an correct answer or post your own solution when a question is solved, it helps people in the future that runs in the same issue (like i did).
I just run in the same issue and this answer solved my issue perfectly while being short and clean.
@FXML
private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("You clicked me!");
label.setText("Hello World!");
//Here I want to swap the screen!
Stage stageTheEventSourceNodeBelongs = (Stage) ((Node)event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow();
// OR
Stage stageTheLabelBelongs = (Stage) label.getScene().getWindow();
// these two of them return the same stage
// Swap screen
stage.setScene(new Scene(new Pane()));
}
PS.: Remember to check the original answer and upvote it. The guy deserves...
PPS.: I am not sure just copying an answer is okay (instead of just sharing the link through a comment) but since this doesnt have a correct answer yet i decided to do it for visibility.
