Life-cycle

*

* The entry point for JavaFX applications is the Application class. The * JavaFX runtime does the following, in order, whenever an application is * launched: *

*
    *
  1. Constructs an instance of the specified Application class
  2. *
  3. Calls the {@link #init} method
  4. *
  5. Calls the {@link #start} method
  6. *
  7. Waits for the application to finish, which happens when either of * the following occur: *
  8. *
  9. Calls the {@link #stop} method
  10. *
*

Note that the {@code start} method is abstract and must be overridden. * The {@code init} and {@code stop} methods have concrete implementations * that do nothing.

*

The {@code Application} subclass must be declared public, and the * containing package must be {@link Module#isExported(String,Module) exported} * to the {@code javafx.graphics} module.

* *

Calling {@link Platform#exit} is the preferred way to explicitly terminate * a JavaFX Application. Directly calling {@link System#exit} is * an acceptable alternative, but doesn't allow the Application {@link #stop} * method to run. *

* *

A JavaFX Application should not attempt to use JavaFX after the * FX toolkit has terminated or from a ShutdownHook, that is, after the * {@link #stop} method returns or {@link System#exit} is called. *

* *

Parameters

*

* Application parameters are available by calling the {@link #getParameters} * method from the {@link #init} method, or any time after the {@code init} * method has been called. *

* *

Threading

*

* JavaFX creates an application thread for running the application start * method, processing input events, and running animation timelines. Creation * of JavaFX {@link Scene} and {@link Stage} objects as well as modification of * scene graph operations to live objects (those objects already * attached to a scene) must be done on the JavaFX application thread. *

* *

* The Java launcher loads and initializes the specified Application class * on the JavaFX Application Thread. If there is no main method in the * Application class, or if the main method calls Application.launch(), then * an instance of the Application is then constructed on the JavaFX Application * Thread. *

* *

* The {@code init} method is called on the launcher thread, not on the * JavaFX Application Thread. * This means that an application must not construct a {@link Scene} * or a {@link Stage} in the {@code init} method. * An application may construct other JavaFX objects in the {@code init} * method. *

* *

* All the unhandled exceptions on the JavaFX application thread that occur during * event dispatching, running animation timelines, or any other code, are forwarded * to the thread's {@link java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler uncaught * exception handler}. *

* *

Example

*

The following example will illustrate a simple JavaFX application.

*

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.shape.Circle;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class MyApp extends Application {
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        Circle circ = new Circle(40, 40, 30);
        Group root = new Group(circ);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 300);

        stage.setTitle("My JavaFX Application");
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
}
 * 
* *
