HELP! Filling ActionGroup with items from a List of Strings

[Felipe Aumann]

As far as I can tell, the only way populate an ActionGroup is hard coding every item in it:

private Collection<? extends Action> action = Arrays.asList(
                              new ActionGroup("Group 1",
                              new DummyAction("Action 1")),
                              new DummyAction("Action 2"),
                              new DummyAction("Action 3")) );

private static class DummyAction extends Action{
public DummyAction(String name){ super(name); } } }

It would be great if I could place items from a List into an ActionGroup, something like that:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add("Action1");
list.add("Action2");
list.add("Action3");
private Collection<? extends Action> action = Arrays.asList(
new ActionGroup("Group 1", new DummyAction(list)));

There are no resources suggesting whether it is possible or not, at least I couldn't find it in any forum or even in the FXSampler project (which has all ControlsFX content samples).

Any thoughts?

Please take a look at JavaDoc 

https://controlsfx.github.io/javadoc/11.0.3/org.controlsfx.controls/org/controlsfx/control/action/ActionGroup.html

As you can see, there are two constructors there, which allow you to pass any collection of actions into it.

Additionally, if you need some lazy-init behavior due to application logic or run-time flexibility, you can also call the public getActions() method and reset the contents of the list.
