How to determine which ListView property should use for rendering

Question

I have a list of java bean objects that I would like to display in a ListView control. By default, ListView uses the toString method.

How to determine which property to use for rendering in a ListView?

I want to achieve the same functionality as in TableView, in the Property Code in this code can be achieved:

@FXML
private TableView<Person> mainTableView;
//...
TableColumn<Person,String> personColumn = new TableColumn<>("Name");List
personColumn.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory("name"));
mainTableView.getColumns().add(personColumn);

Edit

There seems to be no easy (out of the box) solution. Based on the code from James_D, I created a generic class to solve this problem. It completes the PropertyValueFactory - note that PropertyValueFactory first looks for the [NAME] Property () method, trying to get the observable only when it is not found, it tries to access the standard bean properties.

public class PropertyValueFactoryWrapperCellFactory<T> implements Callback<ListView<T>, ListCell<T>> {

    private final PropertyValueFactory<T, String> pvf;

    public PropertyValueFactoryWrapperCellFactory(String propertyName) {
        super();
        pvf = new PropertyValueFactory(propertyName);
    }

    @Override
    public ListCell<T> call(ListView<T> param) {
        return new ListCell<T>() {
            @Override
            public void updateItem(T item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);
                textProperty().unbind();
                if (item == null) {
                    return;
                }
                TableColumn.CellDataFeatures<T, String> cdf = new TableColumn.CellDataFeatures<>(null, null, item);
                textProperty().bind(pvf.call(cdf));
            }
        };
    }

}

Using:

@FXML
private ListView<Person> mainListView;
//...
mainListView.setCellFactory(new PropertyValueFactoryWrapperCellFactory("name"));

factory.

, :

ListView<MyDataType> listView = new ListView<>();
listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<MyDataType>, ListCell<MyDataType>>() {
    @Override
    public ListCell<MyDataType> call(ListView<MyDataType> lv) {
        return new ListCell<MyDataType>() {
            @Override
            public void updateItem(MyDataType item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);
                if (item == null) {
                    setText(null);
                } else {
                    // assume MyDataType.getSomeProperty() returns a string
                    setText(item.getSomeProperty());
                }
            }
        };
    }
});

, , textProperty :

listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<MyDataType>, ListCell<MyDataType>>() {
    @Override
    public ListCell<MyDataType> call(ListView<MyDataType> lv) {
        return new ListCell<MyDataType>() {
            @Override
            public void updateItem(MyDataType item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);
                textProperty().unbind();
                if (item != null) {
                    // assumes MyDataType.someProperty() returns a StringProperty:
                    textProperty.bind(item.someProperty());
                }
            }
        };
    }
});

, JavaFX ListView. , , . :

• . , ListView
• titleProperty - JavaFX,

listView.setCellFactory( 
    listview -> { 
        return new ListCell<Display>() {
            @Override
            public void updateItem(Display item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);
                textProperty().unbind();
                if(item != null)
                    textProperty().bind(item.titleProperty());
                else
                    setText(null);
            }
        };
    }
);

ListCell. , , , null, . title .
