Filling a JavaFX TableView with DataFX - csv

Question

I'm trying to fill a TableView with the data from a csv-file with the datafx extension.
Unfortunately the tableview is empty and I'm not able to find any example anywhere which indicates my mistake.
DataSourceReader dsr1 = new FileSource("Example3.csv");
CSVDataSource ds1 = new CSVDataSource(dsr1);
TableView table1 = new TableView();
table1.setItems(ds1.getData());
table1.getColumns().addAll(ds1.getColumns());
System.out.println("#ds1 " + ds1.getData().size()); //returns zero
The code does not throw an exception, which makes it even more mysterious.

Answer 1

even though the question is to fill the TableView with the DataFX extension here is a solution without DataFX:
Create a class that represents a list item of your tableView e.g.:
public class YourItem {
private String itemID;
private String itemTitle;
public String getItemID() {
return itemID;
}
public void setitemID(String itemID) {
this.itemID = itemID;
}
//getter and setter for the other vars, I am lazy. }
Parse your csv file and return a List<YourItem>
there are several tutorials and examples for that, you can find one here:
http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-read-and-parse-csv-file-in-java/ Important is that you create a List of YourItem objects where each row is a YourItem object
Convert your List<YourItem> into an ObservableList<YourItem>
ObservableList<YourItem> obsList = FXCollections.observableArrayList(yourList);
finally set the items to your TableView:
I won't mention that you need to create Columns for your TableView
TableView<YourItem> test = new TableView<YourItem>();
test.setItems(obsList);
