Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi,

I have a problem that neither onAction handler nor onMouseClicked handler are triggered when I click on a Button which are included in a ListView (ListCells). In JavaFX 2.X this works OK (means both handlers are triggered).

Here is a code sample:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.collections.ObservableList;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.ListCell;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.layout.Pane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Callback;

public class ButtonInList extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        ObservableList<String> items = FXCollections.observableArrayList();;
        items.addAll(
                "Adam", "Alex", "Alfred", "Albert"
                );

        final ListView<String> listView = new ListView<String>(items);

        listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<String>,
                ListCell<String>>() {
                    @Override
                    public ListCell<String> call(ListView<String> list) {
                        return new ButtonCell();
                    }
                });

        Button refButton = new Button("Reference");
        refButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
                System.out.println("Reference Button Handler");
            }
        });

        Pane root = new VBox();
        root.getChildren().addAll(refButton, listView);
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 200, 250));
        primaryStage.show();

    }

    static class ButtonCell extends ListCell<String> {

        @Override
        public void updateItem(final String item, boolean empty) {
            super.updateItem(item, empty);

            if (item != null) {
                Button button = new Button(item);
                button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

                    @Override
                    public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
                        System.out.println(item + " Button Handler");

                    }
                });

                setGraphic(button);
            }
        }
    }

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

Reference button prints correctly "Reference Button Handler", but buttons in ListView don't print anything.

Can anyone explain me why? Has something changed in event handling in JavaFX 8?

Many thanks for help!
