To create a button with an `onClick` event in JavaFX, follow these steps:
1. Import the necessary JavaFX classes and packages:
```java
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
```
2. Create a class that extends `Application`:
```java
public class Main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
// Code for creating the button and setting its onClick event
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
```
3. Inside the `start` method, create a button and set its onClick event:
```java
Button button = new Button("Click Me");
button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
// Code to be executed when the button is clicked
System.out.println("Button is clicked!");
}
});
```
4. Create a layout container (e.g., `StackPane`) and add the button to it:
```java
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(button);
```
5. Create a scene with the layout container and set it as the scene for the primary stage:
```java
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 200);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
```
6. Run the JavaFX application by calling the `launch` method in the `main` method:
```java
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
```
The complete code should look like this:
```java
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class Main extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Button button = new Button("Click Me");
button.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Button is clicked!");
}
});
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(button);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 200);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
```
When you run the application, you'll see a window with a button that will print "Button is clicked!" to the console when clicked. You can modify the code within the `handle` method to perform any desired action when the button is clicked.
