JavaFX Hyperlink Tutorial with Examples
1. JavaFX Hyperlink
JavaFX Hyperlink represents the hyper links similar to the anchor links on the HTML.
Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink("Go to Eclipse home page");
hyperlink.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
getHostServices().showDocument("https://eclipse.org");
}
});By default JavaFX Hyperlink has 3 states is illustrated as shown below. Note that you can use CSS to change them.
2. Hyperlink example
The following example creates a hyperlink that when you click on it, it go to the home page of Eclipse (https://eclipse.org).
HyperlinkDemo.java
package org.o7planning.javafx.hyperlink;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink;
import javafx.scene.layout.FlowPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class HyperlinkDemo extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink("Go to Eclipse home page");
hyperlink.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
getHostServices().showDocument("https://eclipse.org");
}
});
FlowPane root = new FlowPane();
root.setPadding(new Insets(10));
root.getChildren().addAll(hyperlink);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
stage.setTitle("JavaFX Hiperlink (o7planning.org)");
stage.setWidth(400);
stage.setHeight(200);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}3. Custom Hyperlink
With Hyperlink you have a few useful methods:
public final void setUnderline(boolean value)
public final boolean isUnderline()
public final void setVisited(boolean value)
public final boolean isVisited()Example:
HyperlinkDemo2.java
package org.o7planning.javafx.hyperlink;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class HyperlinkDemo2 extends Application {
private final String TEXT = "Go to Eclipse home page";
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink(TEXT);
hyperlink.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
getHostServices().showDocument("https://eclipse.org");
}
});
Button button1 = new Button("On/Off Visited");
button1.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
boolean visited = hyperlink.isVisited();
hyperlink.setVisited(!visited);
hyperlink.setText(TEXT+" (visited:"+ hyperlink.isVisible()+")");
}
});
Button button2 = new Button("On/Off Underline");
button2.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
boolean underline = hyperlink.isUnderline();
hyperlink.setUnderline(!underline);
hyperlink.setText(TEXT+" (underline:"+ hyperlink.isUnderline()+")");
}
});
VBox root = new VBox();
root.setPadding(new Insets(10));
root.setSpacing(10);
root.getChildren().addAll(hyperlink,button1,button2);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
stage.setTitle("JavaFX Hiperlink (o7planning.org)");
stage.setWidth(400);
stage.setHeight(200);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
