import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement; @XmlRootElement public class User { private long userID; private String name; // getters and setters } By using the annotation XMLRootElement, we can mark a class as a root element of an XML file. import java.io.File; ...

Server: Start, and wait for incoming connections //Open a listening "ServerSocket" on port 1234. ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(1234); while (true) { // Wait for a client connection. // Once a client connected, we get a "Socket" object // that c...

Buttons fire action events when they are activated (e.g. clicked, a keybinding for the button is pressed, ...). button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() { @Override public void handle(ActionEvent event) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } }); ...

Buttons can have a graphic. graphic can be any JavaFX node, like a ProgressBar button.setGraphic(new ProgressBar(-1)); An ImageView button.setGraphic(new ImageView("images/icon.png")); Or even another button button.setGraphic(new Button("Nested button"));

Use the orElseThrow() method of Optional to get the contained value or throw an exception, if it hasn't been set. This is similar to calling get(), except that it allows for arbitrary exception types. The method takes a supplier that must return the exception to be thrown. In the first example, the...

When a Java class overrides the equals method, it should override the hashCode method as well. As defined in the method's contract: Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, ...

By default, WebView does not implement JavaScript alert dialogs, ie. alert() will do nothing. In order to make you need to firstly enable JavaScript (obviously..), and then set a WebChromeClient to handle requests for alert dialogs from the page: webView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() { ...

Since Java 6, the recommended way to access an SQL-based database in Java is via the JDBC(Java DataBase Connectivity) API. This API comes in two packagages: java.sql and javax.sql. JDBC defines database interactions in terms of Connections and Drivers. A Driver interacts with the database, and pr...

Once we've gotten the Connection, we will mostly use it to create Statement objects. Statements represent a single SQL transaction; they are used to execute a query, and retrieve the results (if any). Let's look at some examples: public void useConnection() throws SQLException{ Connection ...

OptionalDouble, OptionalInt and OptionalLong work like Optional, but are specifically designed to wrap primitive types: OptionalInt presentInt = OptionalInt.of(value); OptionalInt absentInt = OptionalInt.empty(); Because numeric types do have a value, there is no special handling for null. Empt...

Enum can be considered to be syntax sugar for a sealed class that is instantiated only a number of times known at compile-time to define a set of constants. A simple enum to list the different seasons would be declared as follows: public enum Season { WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, FA...

An enum cannot have a public constructor; however, private constructors are acceptable (constructors for enums are package-private by default): public enum Coin { PENNY(1), NICKEL(5), DIME(10), QUARTER(25); // usual names for US coins // note that the above parentheses and the constructor...

An enum can contain a method, just like any class. To see how this works, we'll declare an enum like this: public enum Direction { NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST; } Let's have a method that returns the enum in the opposite direction: public enum Direction { NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST; ...

One use of SharedPreferences is to implement a "Settings" screen in your app, where the user can set their preferences / options. Like this: A PreferenceScreen saves user preferences in SharedPreferences. To create a PreferenceScreen, you need a few things: An XML file to define the av...

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); //Scanner obj to read System input String inputTaken = new String(); while (true) { String input = scanner.nextLine(); // reading one line of input if (input.matches("\\s+")) // if it matches spaces/tabs, stop reading b...

Scanner scanner = null; try { scanner = new Scanner(new File("Names.txt")); while (scanner.hasNext()) { System.out.println(scanner.nextLine()); } } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Exception occurred!"); } finally { if (scanner != nul...

The switch statement is Java's multi-way branch statement. It is used to take the place of long if-else if-else chains, and make them more readable. However, unlike if statements, one may not use inequalities; each value must be concretely defined. There are three critical components to the switch...

Paginations in JavaFX use a callback to get the pages used in the animation. Pagination p = new Pagination(); p.setPageFactory(param -> new Button(param.toString())); This creates an infinite list of buttons numbed 0.. since the zero arg constructor creates an infinite pagination. setPageFac...

Pagination p = new Pagination(10); Timeline fiveSecondsWonder = new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(5), event -> { int pos = (p.getCurrentPageIndex()+1) % p.getPageCount(); p.setCurrentPageIndex(pos); })); fiveSecondsWonder.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE); fiveSecondsWon...

ArrayList<String> images = new ArrayList<>(); images.add("some\\cool\\image"); images.add("some\\other\\cool\\image"); images.add("some\\cooler\\image"); Pagination p = new Pagination(3); p.setPageFactory(n -> new ImageView(images.get(n))); Note...
