java Null Pointer Exception for choose file

**cnmeysam** · March 14th, 2021, 07:20 PM

Tips about getting error java.lang.NullPointerException at NewJFrame.jButton4ActionPerformed(NewJFrame.java:2 66) when executing code

i think problem is from VBox or openwindow.getScene(). i use a button for brows and select a picture but when push that button openwindow.getScene() Returns the null value i see this error java.lang.NullPointerException at NewJFrame.jButton4ActionPerformed(NewJFrame.java:2 66)
i use java swing in gui add a jframe and in jframe add a button

FileChooser filechooser = new FileChooser();
public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resourcr) {
    filechooser.setInitialDirectory(new File("user.home"));
}
private void jButton4ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    VBox openwindow = new VBox();
 
    System.out.println(openwindow);
 
        Window stage = openwindow.getScene().getWindow();
        filechooser.setTitle("Load Dialog");
        filechooser.getExtensionFilters().addAll(new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("Picture File", "*.jpg"),
                new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("Picture File", "*.png"),
                new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("Picture File", "*.bmp"));
        try {
            File file = filechooser.showOpenDialog(stage);
            filechooser.setInitialDirectory(file.getParentFile());
        } catch (Exception ex) {
 
        }
 
 
}

i see this error

What statement was the exception on?
What variable has the null value?

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

[code]
**YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
[/code]

to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

i think now you can help me

**Norm** · March 15th, 2021, 06:07 AM

I need this information to be able to give you any help:
What statement was the exception on?
What variable has the null value?

What does the API doc say about the values that VBox getScene method will return?

What package is the VBox class in? (There are no import statements in the posted code)

**cnmeysam** · March 15th, 2021, 08:51 AM

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import static javafx.scene.input.DataFormat.URL;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.FileChooser;
import javafx.stage.Window;

VBox openwindow = new VBox();
 
    System.out.println("openwindow = "+openwindow);
    System.out.println("openwindow.getScene() = "+openwindow.getScene());

openwindow = VBox@601798d5
openwindow.getScene() = null

What variable has the null value? openwindow.getScene() Returns the null value

What package is the VBox class in? (There are no import statements in the posted code) i use java swing in gui add a jframe and in jframe add a button and that is all my code and I am a beginner and I do not know what to add

this is my project source

http://uploadb.me/direct/i52dv4bdj6zl/openfile.rar.html

i need create in java swing openfile dialog for select a picture like this

https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/img/file-chooser-sample.png

**Norm** · March 15th, 2021, 09:04 AM

What does the API doc say about the values that VBox getScene method will return?
When does it return a null value?

Here is a link to a JavaFX API doc site: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/

**cnmeysam** · March 15th, 2021, 09:17 AM

Did you read the API doc for the getScene method? What did it say about returning a null value?

**cnmeysam** · March 15th, 2021, 09:50 AM

i cant find getScene return null in API doc
can i use javafx FileChooser and stage in java swing?
i don't now how i must create open file dialog for select a picture like this form https://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_...ser-sample.png
in the java swing. in java swing file dialog i can't see what picture i choose i just can see picture names or set picture on a label and see in label pictures one by one after click any picture

**Norm** · March 15th, 2021, 10:35 AM

i cant find getScene return null in API doc

Please copy the contents of the API doc for the getScene method and paste it here so I can see what you are looking at.

can i use javafx FileChooser and stage in java swing?

I don't think it is a good idea to mix JavaFX code with Swing code.

i first post i write all code in my project don't have any code to paste in here
I even put a sample of the project source for download

Don't post links to other sites for code. If you have code that compiles and executes for testing please paste here on the forum.

and in this method i cant say just open image file(it is old version of file dialog in java swing )

jLabel2.setText("");
 
        Frame frame = null;
        FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(frame, "Select Cover Photo");
 
        fd.setIconImage(getIcon());
 
 
 
        fd.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
        fd.setVisible(true);
        if (fd.getFile() != null) {
            String path = new File(fd.getDirectory(), fd.getFile()).getAbsolutePath();
 
            if (new File(path).length() / 1024 > 1536) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "picture size can't mor than 1.5 MG");
            } 
            else {
                System.out.println(path);
                jLabel2.setText(path);
                fd.dispose();
                System.out.println("size= " + new File(path).length() / 1024 + " KB");
            }
        } else {
            System.out.println("No Data");
            fd.dispose();
        }

Which code are you having the problems with? You posted 3 separate sections of code.

**cnmeysam** · March 15th, 2021, 07:42 PM

if you can add file type in codes and user just can see image files and select just image files in last code. my problem is solves and if you cant! don't different you can Each of the first and second codes that you can use in Java Swing solves my problem

**cnmeysam** · March 18th, 2021, 12:51 AM

finally i found it i I hope it helps you too
first use this librarys

import com.sun.javafx.application.PlatformImpl;
import java.io.File;
import javafx.stage.FileChooser;

and write this codes for your button

FileChooser fileChooser = new FileChooser();
            fileChooser.setTitle("My File Chooser");
            fileChooser.getExtensionFilters().addAll(
                    new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("JPG Files", "*.jpg"),
                    new FileChooser.ExtensionFilter("PNG Files", "*.png"));
             File selectedFile = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(null);
            if (selectedFile != null) {
                if (selectedFile.exists()) {
                    System.out.println(selectedFile.getPath());
                }
            } else {
                System.out.println("No Data");
            }
        });
