I am working with JavaFX and i am trying to add to an ArrayList class from the controller file so when the create button is pressed on the FXML file the controller adds a person object to a class of contacts which is an arrayList however i want the ArrayList class Contacts to be global so i could edit whatever is in or has been added to the list later on
Person class:
package project1;
/**
*
* @author Fomnus
*/
public class Person {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
/**
* Constructor with parameter
*
* @param firstName
* @param lastName
*/
public Person(String firstName, String lastName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName= lastName;
}
/**
* Method to get the name of person
*/
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
/**
* Method to set the name of person
*/
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
Contacts class ArrayList:
package project1;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
/**
*
* @author Fomnus
*/
public class Contacts {
public static void main(String args[]) {
// create an array list
ArrayList contactsList = new ArrayList();
Person person1= new Person("John", "Doe");
Person person2= new Person("Jane", "Rivers");
Person person3= new Person("Steve", "Smith");
Person person4= new Person("Lucy", "White");
contactsList.add(person1);
contactsList.add(person2);
contactsList.add(person3);
contactsList.add(person4);
}
}
