Answer 1

Thanks for your time to reply,but in the end I found out how to fix it. I used

((Node)(event.getSource())).getScene().getWindow().hide();

in the if that it's responsible for the successful login. I mean, after a dialog appears that informs the user about their successful login, that code goes there.

(I imported the right stuff too in order to make that line of code work)

Answer 2

Use

stage.hide()

If you do this from a controller, you can get the stage from any Node inside the scene of the stage (if necessary let the FXML loader assign one to a field of the controller using the id attribute from the fxml namespace in the fxml):

Window stage = node.getScene().getWindow();

Answer 3

Although

    getScene().getWindow();

on a Node will get you the stage from the controller, it's important to note that calling close() or hide() are equivalent, and will simply make the login window invisible. As for using dispose():

Answer 4

give your button a name in the controller class:

@FXML
public Button closeButton;

and add this method:

@FXML
public void handleCloseButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
    Stage stage = (Stage) closeButton.getScene().getWindow();
    stage.close();
}

In your FXML you need a reference to the button name and the method to call onAction:

<Button fx:id="closeButton" cancelButton="true" layoutX="350.0" layoutY="767.0" mnemonicParsing="false" onAction="#handleCloseButtonAction" prefWidth="100.0" text="Close" />

This would close the stage that this button is on.

Answer 5

Hide doesn't close the window, just put in visible mode. The best solution was:

@FXML
private void exitButtonOnAction(ActionEvent event){
        ((Stage)(((Button)event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow())).close();      
}

Answer 6

Similar to the other answers but more precise.

@FXML
public void handleCloseButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
    ((Stage)(((Button)event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow())).close();
}
