FXML & JavaFX Scene Builder But Code in Scala

[Vivek Kumar]

Hi,

 

I like the FXML & JavaFX Scene Builder while doing Complex GUI design in Rich Desiger IDE. I love markup language for GUI design very much & find it difficult to leave this. Is there any way to use Scala while still continuing with FXML & Scene Builder

 

Please advice thanks for it

 

Warm Regards,

Vivek

I have not seen people used scenebuilder to build scalafx gui. I believe that scenebuilder does not emit scalaFx code hence the reason.

There is no reason you can't use FXML and Scene Builder together with Scala/ScalaFX.  Simply load the FXML file as you normally would in Java and add it to the scene graph.

Vivek,

And some day.. if you fedup with XML language... then join Fabian's Project FXML to ScalaFX  https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/scalafx-users/FTqm0aA_6VU

My advance welcome to Anti-XML family :)

Thanks Raj,

It was helpful !

About Markup language for GUI design - My personal view:

- Markup language for GUI design  & an IDE makes things easier for starters or new developers. Particular if not so skilled developers working for you, its time consuming to train everyone on syntax. However with market up language and IDE Designer they can do some experiment

- I guess this is why Microsoft Silverlight / WPF   & Expression Blend become so popular in enterprise application development  

 - Separation of concern:  GUI designer and Developer can work independently thanks to Bi-Directional binding infrastructure

- I am still wailting to see MVVM design pattern in JavaFX  & Scala GUI

 Any way these are my personal view! 

Regards,

Vivek

Hi,

You can use controller classes and objects written in Scala when loading FXML files. In addition, because of the implicits in scalafx.Includes._ you can seamlessly interact with the JavaFX scenegraph as if it were ScalaFX objects.
If you're using SBT, you might find some use in my shamelessly self promoted prototype which generates those controller classes for you: sbt-fxml

This being said, it would be nice if there'd be some way to serialize a scenegraph back to FXML so a hand written ScalaFX GUI can be edited visually in SceneBuilder again. I really miss JavaFX Script which didn't feel as much of a compromise as FXML does. I don't know how actively Visage(FX) is being developed, it might be worth looking at. Script brought us vaporware like the JavaFX authoring tool / JavaFX Design tool. Featurewise it looks like a great product superior to SceneBuilder but I have not found a download link. I only managed to find a report about it in an old German magazine.

So for the time being, I guess we have to live with FXML and it's weird expression syntax, which is powerful enough for most things, but nobody knows the exact syntax.

Cheers,
Philipp

What is see is.... MVVM  is nothing but a MS sugary name to MVC! VM is also same as "C"

I support what Sun said when they brought JavaFX 1

"todays RIA platform follows Markup language as standard ... but we like to provide a easy way to do it.. so FX Script! "  

Silverlight, Air, etc most of RIA uses XML and they are failed to stand in market. JavaFX 1 come with a new spirit but later its ported on "Heavy language" the guardians of javafx know its tough to do RIA in such big language so they again brought XML into picture... to solve again the XML tough way of writing nature.. they brought a draganddrop nature IDE.

Pity to the hard life of a wonderful vision of Java based RIA!

Attention!!!!!!

For all XML lovers
