How to add CheckBox's to a TableView in JavaFX

Question

In my Java Desktop Application I have a TableView in which I want to have a column with CheckBoxes.

I did find where this has been done http://www.jonathangiles.net/

Answer 1

for me, works with this solution:

Callback<TableColumn, TableCell> checkboxCellFactory = new Callback<TableColumn, TableCell>() {

        @Override
        public TableCell call(TableColumn p) {
            return new CheckboxCell();
        }
    };
    TableColumn selectColumn = (TableColumn) tbvDatos.getColumns().get(1);
    selectColumn.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("selected"));
    selectColumn.setCellFactory(checkboxCellFactory);

and the tableCell:

public class CheckboxCell extends TableCell<RowData, Boolean> {
CheckBox checkbox;

@Override
protected void updateItem(Boolean arg0, boolean arg1) {
    super.updateItem(arg0, arg1);
        paintCell();
}

private void paintCell() {
    if (checkbox == null) {
        checkbox = new CheckBox();
        checkbox.selectedProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {

            @Override
            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> ov,
                    Boolean old_val, Boolean new_val) {
                setItem(new_val);
                ((RowData)getTableView().getItems().get(getTableRow().getIndex())).setSelected(new_val);
            }
        });
    }
    checkbox.setSelected(getValue());
    setText(null);
    setGraphic(checkbox);
}

private Boolean getValue() {
    return getItem() == null ? false : getItem();
}
}

if you dont need to make the checkbox with edit event
