How to get appointment details when an AppointmentPane is clicked - JFXtras

Question

I would like to print out an appointment's summary and description when a user clicks on a particular appointment retrieved from the database.

I'm trying to implement this with something like:

lAgenda.selectedAppointments().addListener(new ListChangeListener<Appointment>() {
            @Override
            public void onChanged(Change<? extends Appointment> c) {
                System.out.println(c.toString());
            }
        });

I however, only get this:

com.sun.javafx.collections.NonIterableChange$GenericAddRemoveChange@1ef0f08
com.sun.javafx.collections.NonIterableChange$SimpleAddChange@1c3e48b
com.sun.javafx.collections.NonIterableChange$GenericAddRemoveChange@d57e70
com.sun.javafx.collections.NonIterableChange$SimpleAddChange@6022e2
com.sun.javafx.collections.NonIterableChange$GenericAddRemoveChange@54ddc1

How can I retrieve other items, like the ID of the row in the database row the appointment is being retrieved from? Thank you all.

You are using the right property to be notified of the selection change.

You received a ListChangeListener.Change. As described in the javadoc, a change should be used in the this way :

 lAgenda.selectedAppointments().addListener(new ListChangeListener< Appointment >() {
     public void onChanged(Change<? extends Appointment> c) {
         while (c.next()) {
             if (c.wasPermutated()) {
                 for (int i = c.getFrom(); i < c.getTo(); ++i) {
                      //permutate
                 }
             } else if (c.wasUpdated()) {
                      //update item
             } else {
                 for (Appointment a : c.getRemoved()) {
                 }
                 for (Appointment a : c.getAddedSubList()) {
                     printAppointment(a);
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 });

Now, you could print out appointment summary and description :

private void printAppointment(Appointment a) {
    System.out(a.getSummary());
    System.out(a.getDescription());
}

If you need some specific properties on the appointment object (like a database id), you could create your appointment class by extending AppointmentImpl or by implementing Appointment
