Loading an image in ImageView through code

Question

I have built my application using scenebuilder for javafx. I have a form where a person has to upload an image. I used this code

public void photoChooser(Act         


        

Answer 1

The constructor of Image expects an URL and not a file path. Therefore if there is a ":" in the string, everything up to that point is interpreted as the protocol (normally something like http, file or ftp).

You have to change the line

String img = file.toString();

to

String img = file.toURI().toURL().toExternalForm();

This gets the URL from the file before converting to string. I converted to URI first since File.toURL is deprecated and that's the suggested "workaround".
