I want to get the Stage from Main class to Controller class but it was failed.

Because I should use the setFullScreen function in Controller class.

Answer 1

i am answering how to pass stage object from main class to your controller class create a function in your controller class

public void setStage(Stage stage){
this.stage=stage;
}

now call this function in your main class like this

 FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/application/Main.fxml"));
                Parent root = (Parent) fxmlLoader.load();
  ((MainController) fxmlLoader.getController()).setStage(primaryStage);

if you want to get the stage object without passing it from main to class to controller class you can do this way

1.Give id to your AnchorPane e.g. fx:id="ap" then in your Controller class

@FXML
AnchorPane ap;

2.where you want the object

Stage stage = (Stage) ap.getScene.getWindow();

Answer 2

To access stage from controller:

• Create a setter method for stage variable in your Controller class

• Get instance of the controller in your Main.java class

• Set the stage variable of controller through setter method in Main.java

  Illustration:

  Step 1 :

      public class MainCOntroller {
  
       private Stage primaryStage;
  
          public void setPrimaryStage(Stage primaryStage){
                     this.primaryStage = primaryStage;
           }
              .....
             .....      
       }       
  

  Step 2 and 3: get the instance of controller and set the stage using setter method

    public class Main extends Application {
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
      try {
        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/application/Main.fxml"));
       Parent root = (Parent)loader.load();
  
       MainController controller = (MainController) loader.getController(); 
  
        //set stage 
         controller.setPrimaryStage(primaryStage);
    } catch(Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }
  }
