JavaFX Switching Scene with Slide Effect

Question

Can I switch a scene using a slide effect?

I want that when I call setScene on the scene instance, it changes the scene using the slide effect. is it possible?

public class ManyScenes extends Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(final Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Slide");

        Group root1 = new Group();
        Group root2 = new Group();

        Scene scene1 = new Scene(root1, 300, 250);
        Scene scene2 = new Scene(root2, 300, 250);

        Rectangle rectangle2 = new Rectangle(300, 250);
        rectangle2.setFill(Color.BLUE);
        root2.getChildren().add(rectangle2);

        Rectangle rectangle1 = new Rectangle(300, 250);
        rectangle1.setFill(Color.RED);
        root1.getChildren().add(rectangle1);



        primaryStage.setScene(scene1);
        primaryStage.show();

        // Here i  need a slide effect,
        // this method is called when a button is pressed.
        primaryStage.setScene(scene2);
    }
}

Answer 1

You cannot apply the transition between two scenes, since it is impossible to perform both actions at the same time at the same time. One solution will have only one scene and manage all the transitions inside, as in @James_D's answer.

But you can also simulate the transition between two scenes. To do this, you can use two snapshots of both, make a transition between them and in the end just set up a new scene.

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    Group root1 = new Group();
    Group root2 = new Group();

    Scene scene1 = new Scene(root1, 300, 250);
    Scene scene2 = new Scene(root2, 300, 250);

    Rectangle rectangle2 = new Rectangle(300, 250);
    rectangle2.setFill(Color.BLUE);
    root2.getChildren().add(rectangle2);

    Rectangle rectangle1 = new Rectangle(300, 250);
    rectangle1.setFill(Color.RED);
    root1.getChildren().add(rectangle1);

    primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World!");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene1);
    primaryStage.show();

    rectangle1.setOnMouseClicked(e->{
        // Create snapshots with the last state of the scenes
        WritableImage wi = new WritableImage(300, 250);
        Image img1 = root1.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(),wi);
        ImageView imgView1= new ImageView(img1);
        wi = new WritableImage(300, 250);
        Image img2 = root2.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(),wi);
        ImageView imgView2= new ImageView(img2);
        // Create new pane with both images
        imgView1.setTranslateX(0);
        imgView2.setTranslateX(300);
        StackPane pane= new StackPane(imgView1,imgView2);
        pane.setPrefSize(300,250);
        // Replace root1 with new pane
        root1.getChildren().setAll(pane);
        // create transtition
        Timeline timeline = new Timeline();
        KeyValue kv = new KeyValue(imgView2.translateXProperty(), 0, Interpolator.EASE_BOTH);
        KeyFrame kf = new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(1), kv);
        timeline.getKeyFrames().add(kf);
        timeline.setOnFinished(t->{
            // remove pane and restore scene 1
            root1.getChildren().setAll(rectangle1);
            // set scene 2
            primaryStage.setScene(scene2);
        });
        timeline.play();
    });
    rectangle2.setOnMouseClicked(e->{
        // Create snapshots with the last state of the scenes
        WritableImage wi = new WritableImage(300, 250);
        Image img1 = root1.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(),wi);
        ImageView imgView1= new ImageView(img1);
        wi = new WritableImage(300, 250);
        Image img2 = root2.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(),wi);
        ImageView imgView2= new ImageView(img2);
        // Create new pane with both images
        imgView2.setTranslateX(0);
        imgView1.setTranslateX(300);
        StackPane pane= new StackPane(imgView2,imgView1);
        pane.setPrefSize(300,250);
        // Replace root2 with new pane
        root2.getChildren().setAll(pane);
        // create transtition
        Timeline timeline = new Timeline();
        KeyValue kv = new KeyValue(imgView1.translateXProperty(), 0, Interpolator.EASE_BOTH);
        KeyFrame kf = new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(1), kv);
        timeline.getKeyFrames().add(kf);
        timeline.setOnFinished(t->{
            // remove pane and restore scene 2
            root2.getChildren().setAll(rectangle2);
            // set scene 1
            primaryStage.setScene(scene1);
        });
        timeline.play();
    });

}

this.
