JavaFX Accordion Examples

These are simple step by step code snippets to allow you learn JavaFX.

Example 1: Accordion

Here are the code snippets:

Step 1: Create Project

1. Open your favorite Java IDE.
2. In the menu go to File --> Create New Project.

Step 2: Dependencies

No dependencies are needed for this project.

Step 3: Write Code

Our code will comprise the following java files:

• AccordionExample.java

1. In your editor or IDE, create a file known as AccordionExample.java.
2. Then add the following code:

(a). AccordionExample.java

So guys let;s go ahead and add some imports into our project. We add imports using the import keyword:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Accordion;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TitledPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

The next step is to extend our class as shown below:

public class AccordionExample extends Application {

Our class will have the following methods:

• void main(String[] args)
• void start(Stage primaryStage)

For you to be able to execute this class you need to assign it a main method using the following definition:

    public static void main(String[] args) {

Here is the full code:

package com.jenkov.javafx.accordion;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Accordion;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TitledPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class AccordionExample extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        Accordion accordion = new Accordion();

        TitledPane pane1 = new TitledPane("Boats" , new Label("Show all boats available"));
        TitledPane pane2 = new TitledPane("Cars"  , new Label("Show all cars available"));
        TitledPane pane3 = new TitledPane("Planes", new Label("Show all planes available"));

        accordion.getPanes().add(pane1);
        accordion.getPanes().add(pane2);
        accordion.getPanes().add(pane3);

        VBox vBox = new VBox(accordion);
        Scene scene = new Scene(vBox);

        primaryStage.setScene(scene);

        primaryStage.show();
    }
}
