Challenge Task 1 of 1, Build a JavaFX App / Controlling Your View

Question

I can't figure out what I'm missing.

com/example/boombox.fxml

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

com/example/Controller.java

package com.example;

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;

public class Controller {
  @FXML private Button;
  public void handlePlay(ActionEvent event) {
    System.out.println("[MUSIC PLAYING] - Take it from me holmes, parents just don't understand");
  }
}

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);
    }
}

Hello,

In your button XML you need to add an onAction property. Let's say in instance, I wanted to attach a button to my Method.

I'd make it look something like

<Button text="Play" onAction="#myMethod" />

Just be sure to use the right variable that Craig wants you to use in the challenge, and you'll wire that method to take place once the button is clicked.
