Class FloatProperty

javafx.beans.property.FloatProperty

All Implemented Interfaces:: NumberExpression, Observable, Property<Number>, ReadOnlyProperty<Number>, ObservableFloatValue, ObservableNumberValue, ObservableValue<Number>, WritableFloatValue, WritableNumberValue, WritableValue<Number>

Direct Known Subclasses:: FloatPropertyBase, JavaBeanFloatProperty

public abstract class FloatProperty
extends ReadOnlyFloatProperty
implements Property<Number>, WritableFloatValue

This class defines a Property wrapping a float value.

The value of a FloatProperty can be get and set with ObservableFloatValue.get(), ObservableValue.getValue(), WritableFloatValue.set(float), and WritableFloatValue.setValue(Number).

A property can be bound and unbound unidirectional with Property.bind(ObservableValue) and Property.unbind(). Bidirectional bindings can be created and removed with Property.bindBidirectional(Property) and Property.unbindBidirectional(Property).

The context of a FloatProperty can be read with ReadOnlyProperty.getBean() and ReadOnlyProperty.getName().

Note: setting or binding this property to a null value will set the property to "0.0". See WritableFloatValue.setValue(java.lang.Number).

Since:: JavaFX 2.0

Constructor Details

FloatProperty

public FloatProperty()

Creates a default FloatProperty.

Method Details

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this FloatProperty object.

Overrides:: toString in class ReadOnlyFloatProperty
Returns:: a string representation of this FloatProperty object.

floatProperty

public static FloatProperty floatProperty(Property<Float> property)

Returns a FloatProperty that wraps a Property and is bidirectionally bound to it. Changing this property will result in a change of the original property.

This is very useful when bidirectionally binding an ObjectProperty<Float> and a FloatProperty.

   FloatProperty floatProperty = new SimpleFloatProperty(1.0f);
   ObjectProperty<Float> objectProperty = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(2.0f);

   // Need to keep the reference as bidirectional binding uses weak references
   FloatProperty objectAsFloat = FloatProperty.floatProperty(objectProperty);

   floatProperty.bindBidirectional(objectAsFloat);

Another approach is to convert the FloatProperty to ObjectProperty using asObject() method.

Note: null values in the source property will be interpreted as 0f

Parameters:: property - The source Property
Returns:: A FloatProperty that wraps the Property
Throws:: NullPointerException - if property is null
Since:: JavaFX 8.0
See Also:: asObject()

asObject

public ObjectProperty<Float> asObject()

Creates an ObjectProperty that bidirectionally bound to this FloatProperty. If the value of this FloatProperty changes, the value of the ObjectProperty will be updated automatically and vice-versa.

Can be used for binding an ObjectProperty to FloatProperty.

   FloatProperty floatProperty = new SimpleFloatProperty(1.0f);
   ObjectProperty<Float> objectProperty = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(2.0f);

   objectProperty.bind(floatProperty.asObject());

Overrides:: asObject in class ReadOnlyFloatProperty
Returns:: the new ObjectProperty
