How to create an array of TextFields in JavaFX - arrays

Question

I am converting an app written using Swing to JavaFX. I need an array of TextFields that I can manipulate collectively and as individual array members addressed by the array index. The following code works in Swing but I cannot find the equivalent in JavaFX, using TextField instead of JTextField. How can I achieve this in JavaFX?
private ArrayList<JTextField> fieldList= new ArrayList<JTextField>();
fieldList.add(fldCompletion);
fieldList.add(fldHrsToDate);
fieldList.add(fldHrsToComplete);
for(JTextField fl : fieldList) {
fl.setText("");
fl.setEnabled(true); //FX equivalent is setDisable(false)
}
fieldList.get(var).setText("");

Answer 1

I also don't understand your question because this part of the code should work in JavaFX in the same way as it works in Java(Swing) and you are not telling us what your actual problem is. So I just make a wild guess. Maybe you have just forgotten to add your text field to the scene graph too and therefore your are seeing nothing.

Apologies - it's my first post.
I can instantiate the ArrayList -
private ArrayList<TextField> fieldList = new ArrayList<TextField>();
but when I try to add a TextField object to the array I get syntax errors:
fieldList.add(fldCompletion);
Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error, insert ")" to complete MethodDeclaration
- Syntax error on token ".", # expected after this token
- Syntax error, insert "SimpleName" to complete QualifiedName
- Syntax error, insert "Identifier (" to complete
MethodHeaderName
This particular field is declared thus:
#FXML private TextField fldCompletion;

This will do just fine
TextField[] txt = new TextField[beanFields.length];
for (int i=0; i<=beanFields.length-1; i++) {
TextField textField = new TextField();
txt[i] = textField;
textField.setPrefWidth(200);
textField.setPrefHeight(32);
}
