Question

13.6 (Tip Calculator Modification) The Tip Calculator app from Section 12.5 does not need a Button to perform its calculations. Reimplement this app to use property listeners to perform the calculations whenever the user modifies the bill amount or changes the custom tip percentage. Also use a property binding to update the Label that displays the tip percentage.

Starting code:

// Fig. 12.19: TipCalculator.java
// Main application class that loads and displays the Tip Calculator's GUI.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class TipCalculator extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
Parent root =
FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("TipCalculator.fxml"));

Scene scene = new Scene(root); // attach scene graph to scene
stage.setTitle("Tip Calculator"); // displayed in window's title bar
stage.setScene(scene); // attach scene to stage
stage.show(); // display the stage
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
// create a TipCalculator object and call its start method
launch(args);
}
}

Explanation / Answer

Please see code as below

Reimplemented this app to use property listeners to perform the calculations whenever the user modifies the bill amount

amountTextField.valueProperty().addListener(
new ChangeListener<Number>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> ov,
Number oldValue, Number newValue) {
amountField= BigDecimal.valueOf(newValue.intValue());

try {
BigDecimal amount = new BigDecimal(amountField);
BigDecimal tip = amount.multiply(tipPercentage);
BigDecimal total = amount.add(tip);

tipTextField.setText(currency.format(tip));
totalTextField.setText(currency.format(total));
}
catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
amountTextField.setText("Enter amount");
amountTextField.selectAll();
amountTextField.requestFocus();
}

}
}
);
