I am coding a web browser in javafx. I am facing a problem in getting the title of the page currently open in the web engine. It gives me a bunch of errors while compiling the programe Whenever i call getTitle method(private final String title = getTitle(webEngine);
)
// to get title of page currently open in web engine
private static String getTitle(WebEngine webEngine) {
Document doc = webEngine.getDocument();
NodeList heads = doc.getElementsByTagName("head");
String titleText = webEngine.getLocation() ; // use location if page does not define a title
if (heads.getLength() > 0) {
Element head = (Element)heads.item(0);
NodeList titles = head.getElementsByTagName("title");
if (titles.getLength() > 0) {
Node title = titles.item(0);
titleText = title.getTextContent();
}
}
return titleText ;
}
The Error which i get is
