In this code:
public class ESM extends Application {
private Stage primaryStage;
@FXML
private ToolBar mainToolBar;
@Override
public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
try{
this.primaryStage = stage;
Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/nz/co/great_ape/esm3/main_window.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 700);
// Setup main stage to be full screen, no min or max buttons.
// TODO: How will this handle multiple screens? Apparently not well :-(
Screen screen = Screen.getPrimary();
Rectangle2D bounds = screen.getVisualBounds();
primaryStage.setX(bounds.getMinX());
primaryStage.setY(bounds.getMinY());
primaryStage.setWidth(bounds.getWidth());
primaryStage.setHeight(bounds.getHeight());
primaryStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
primaryStage.setTitle("ESM three");
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
System.out.println("This will fail because mainToolBar is null. Why?");
assert mainToolBar != null : "fx:id=\"mainToolBar\" was null check your FXML ";
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ESM.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
/**
* Use initialize() to setup widgets from scenebuilder files, it is
* called by FXMLLoader.
*/
@FXML
public void initialize(){
System.out.println("initialize() But when here all is good and mainToolBar is a ToolBar.");
assert mainToolBar != null : "fx:id=\"mainToolBar\" was null check your FXML ";
}
/**

*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
I cant see why it's got a value in the initialise() but in the start it's null. When debuging it's clear that initiialize() is called by FXMLLOader from inside start()
I was going to post the fxml but it does not seem to work as nothig shows in the preview. Any way, it's a real basic file, a BordePane and a ToolBar.
Any clues?
