I am having some difficulty understanding how to set up a pop up window that displays a web page in my Swing application. I have seen this code across multiple tutorials but what I am struggling with is how to include this in my own code.
Every tutorial uses the main method with this code, but I want to call this from one of my other classes and I am not sure how.
This is the code in question:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.web.WebEngine;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WebViewMain extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Application.launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
primaryStage.setTitle("WebView test");
WebView browser = new WebView();
WebEngine engine = browser.getEngine();
String url = "http://zoranpavlovic.blogspot.com/";
engine.load(url);
StackPane sp = new StackPane();
sp.getChildren().add(browser);
Scene root = new Scene(sp);
primaryStage.setScene(root);
primaryStage.show();
}
}
I want to be able to call the WebView from an ActionListener in one of my classes like this:
JButton mapExpandBtn = new JButton();
mapExpandBtn.setText("Expand");
mapExpandBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
new WebViewMain();
}
});
This doesn't work obviously. How can I adapt my own code or the WebViewMain code to get it to launch in my application?
