So i have this code in which i'm trying to do a scene for my game. I'm really a beginner in a Java and especially JAVAFX world and doing this as a school project (Once again..) and trying to figure out a way to refresh my label.
I've found one URL from stackoverflow, which was a similar issue but didn't work for my problem (or was i too stupid to make it work..) anyways, link is here
This is the part where the problem occurs - i have a text box, from which you have to enter player names. Every time a user inputs player name the label shows how many names have been entered, according to the nimedlist.size() which holds the names inside.
Label mängijate_arv = new Label("Mängijaid on sisestatud: "+nimedlist.size());
// if we press enter, program will read the name
nimiTekst.setOnKeyPressed(new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
public void handle(final KeyEvent keyEvent) {
if (keyEvent.getCode() == KeyCode.ENTER) {
if (nimiTekst.getText() != null) {
nimedlist.add(nimiTekst.getText());
nimiTekst.setText(null);
}
}
}
});
startBox.getChildren().addAll(sisestus_mängijad, nimiTekst, mängijate_arv,
startButton2);
This is the whole code:

Sorry about Estonian language, it's compulsory in our school to write in our native language..
You can just do
nimiTekst.setOnKeyPressed(new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
public void handle(final KeyEvent keyEvent) {
if (keyEvent.getCode() == KeyCode.ENTER) {
if (nimiTekst.getText() != null) {
nimedlist.add(nimiTekst.getText());
nimiTekst.setText(null);
mängijate_arv.setText("Mängijaid on sisestatud: "+nimedlist.size());
}
}
}
});
If you are not using Java 8 (you appear not to be, since you are implementing all the handlers the old, long way...), you will have to declare mängijate_arv as final:
final Label mängijate_arv = new Label("Mängijaid on sisestatud: "+nimedlist.size());
If you want to be extra cool with this, you can use bindings instead. You will have to make nimidlist an observable list:
final ObservableList<String> nimedlist = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
and then:
mängijate_arv.bind(Bindings.format("Mängijaid on sisestatud: %d", Bindings.size(nimedList)));
and don't put the mängijate_arv.setText(...) call in the handler. This solution is nicer in many ways, as if you remove items from the list (or add other items elsewhere in your code), then the label will still remain properly updated without any additional code.
One other thing: it's a bit better to use an action handler on the text field, instead of a low-level key event handler:
nimiTekst.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
public void handle(final ActionEvent keyEvent) {
if (nimiTekst.getText() != null) {
nimedlist.add(nimiTekst.getText());
nimiTekst.setText(null);
mängijate_arv.setText("Mängijaid on sisestatud: "+nimedlist.size());
}
}
});
(Sorry if I mangled your variable names. My Estonian is a bit weak ;). Your school's policy is a good one, for what it's worth.)
