@DefaultProperty("pages") public class Pagination extends Control

A Pagination control is used for navigation between pages of a single content, which has been divided into smaller parts.

Styling the page indicators

The control can be customized to display numeric page indicators or bullet style indicators by setting the style class STYLE_CLASS_BULLET. The maxPageIndicatorCountProperty can be used to change the maximum number of page indicators. The property value can also be changed via CSS using -fx-max-page-indicator-count. By default, page indicator numbering starts from 1 (corresponding to page index 0).

Page count

The pageCountProperty controls the number of pages this pagination control has. If the page count is not known, INDETERMINATE should be used as the page count.

Page factory

The pageFactoryProperty is a callback function that is called when a page has been selected by the application or the user. The function is required for the functionality of the pagination control. The callback function should load and return the contents of the selected page. null should be returned if the selected page index does not exist.

Creating a Pagination control:

A simple example of how to create a pagination control with ten pages and each page containing text. 

 Pagination pagination = new Pagination(10, 0);
 pagination.setPageFactory(new Callback<Integer, Node>() {
     @Override
     public Node call(Integer pageIndex) {
         return new Label(pageIndex + 1 + ". Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,\n"
                      + "consectetur adipiscing elit,\n"
                      + "sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut\n"
                      + "labore et dolore magna aliqua.");
     }
 });
or using lambdas 
 Pagination pagination = new Pagination(10, 0);
 pagination.setPageFactory(pageIndex ->
         new Label(pageIndex + 1 + ". Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,\n"
                      + "consectetur adipiscing elit,\n"
                      + "sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut\n"
                      + "labore et dolore magna aliqua.");
 );

  • Property Details

    • maxPageIndicatorCount

      public final IntegerProperty maxPageIndicatorCountProperty
      The maximum number of page indicators to use for this pagination control. The maximum number of pages indicators will remain unchanged if the value is less than 1 or greater than the pageCount. The number of page indicators will be reduced to fit the control if the maxPageIndicatorCount cannot fit. The default is 10 page indicators.
      See Also:

    • pageCount

      public final IntegerProperty pageCountProperty
      The number of pages for this pagination control. This value must be greater than or equal to 1. INDETERMINATE should be used as the page count if the total number of pages is unknown. The default is an INDETERMINATE number of pages.
      See Also:

    • currentPageIndex

      public final IntegerProperty currentPageIndexProperty
      The current page index to display for this pagination control. The first page will be the current page if the value is less than 0. Similarly the last page will be the current page if the value is greater than the pageCount The default is 0 for the first page.

      Because the page indicators set the current page index, the currentPageIndex property permits only bidirectional binding. The bind method throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

      See Also:

    • pageFactory

      public final ObjectProperty<Callback<Integer,Node>> pageFactoryProperty
      The pageFactory callback function that is called when a page has been selected by the application or the user. This function is required for the functionality of the pagination control. The callback function should load and return the contents the page index. Null should be returned if the page index does not exist. The currentPageIndex will not change when null is returned.
