Add a node via FXML

Question

What am I doing wrong in this challenge? I don't understand what the problem is here. Can anyone help please?

com/example/boombox.fxml

<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.VBox?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.Text?>
<VBox fx:controller="com.example.Controller"
      xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml">

    <!-- Add your element below -->
  <Text boombox="Boombox"
        GridPane.rowIndex="0"
        GridPane.columnSpan="2"
        Gridpane.halignment="CENTER"/>


    <Button text="Play"/>
</VBox>

com/example/Main.java

package com.example;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("boombox.fxml"));
        primaryStage.setTitle("Boombox");
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
        primaryStage.show();
    }


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

com/example/Controller.java

package com.example;

public class Controller {
}

Lee;

First, for this challenge don't include GridPane settings. Second, the property you should be setting is the text property of the Text field, not the boombox property.

Post back with further questions.

Happy coding,
Ken
