JavaFX 2.0 Platform
Immersive Application Experience
> Cross-platform Animation, Video, Charting
> Integrate Java, JavaScript, and HTML5 in the same application
> New graphics stack takes advantage of hardware acceleration for 2D and 3D applications
> Use your favorite IDE: NetBeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc.

JavaFX
Scala
JavaFX With Java
JavaFX in Java
> JavaFX API uses an enhanced JavaBeans pattern
> Similar in feel to other UI toolkits (Swing, Pivot, etc.)
> Uses builder pattern to minimize boilerplate

Vanishing Circles
Application Skeleton
public class VanishingCircles extends Application { public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); } @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) { primaryStage.setTitle("Vanishing Circles"); Group root = new Group(); Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 600, Color.BLACK); [create the circles…] root.getChildren().addAll(circles); primaryStage.setScene(scene); primaryStage.show(); [begin the animation…] }}
Create the Circles
List<Circle> circles = new ArrayList<Circle>();for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++) { final Circle circle = new Circle(150); circle.setCenterX(Math.random() * 800); circle.setCenterY(Math.random() * 600); circle.setFill(new Color(Math.random(), Math.random(), Math.random(), .2)); circle.setEffect(new BoxBlur(10, 10, 3)); circle.setStroke(Color.WHITE); [setup binding…] [setup event listeners…] circles.add(circle);}
9
Setup Binding
circle.strokeWidthProperty().bind(Bindings .when(circle.hoverProperty()) .then(4) .otherwise(0));
10
Setup Event Listeners
circle.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_CLICKED, new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() { public void handle(MouseEvent t) { KeyValue collapse = new KeyValue(circle.radiusProperty(), 0); new Timeline(new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(3), collapse)).play(); }});
11
Begin the Animation
Timeline moveCircles = new Timeline();for (Circle circle : circles) { KeyValue moveX = new KeyValue(circle.centerXProperty(), Math.random() * 800); KeyValue moveY = new KeyValue(circle.centerYProperty(), Math.random() * 600); moveCircles.getKeyFrames().add(new KeyFrame(Duration.seconds(40), moveX, moveY));}moveCircles.play();

JavaFX With Scala
Java vs. Scala DSLpublic class VanishingCircles extends Application {

Sequence Creation Via Loop
Binding in Scala
Infix Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division:
height <== rect1.height + rect2.height
Aggregate Operators:
width <== max(rect1.width, rect2.width, rect3.width)
Conditional Expressions:
strokeWidth <== when (hover) then 4 otherwise 0
Compound Expressions:
text <== when (rect.hover || circle.hover && !disabled) then textField.text + " is enabled" otherwise "disabled"

Animation in Scala
val timeline = new Timeline { cycleCount = INDEFINITE autoReverse = true keyFrames = for (circle <- circles) yield at (40 s) {
Set( circle.centerX -> random * stage.width, circle.centerY -> random * stage.height ) }}timeline.play();
21
val timeline = new Timeline { cycleCount = INDEFINITE autoReverse = true keyFrames = for (circle <- circles) yield at (40 s) {
Set( circle.centerX -> random * stage.width, circle.centerY -> random * stage.height ) }}timeline.play();
Animation in Scala
22
JavaFX Script-like animation syntax: at (duration) {keyframes}
val timeline = new Timeline { cycleCount = INDEFINITE autoReverse = true keyFrames = for (circle <- circles) yield at (40 s) {
Set( circle.centerX -> random * stage.width, circle.centerY -> random * stage.height ) }}timeline.play();
Animation in Scala
23
Operator overloading for animation syntax
val timeline = new Timeline { cycleCount = INDEFINITE autoReverse = true keyFrames = for (circle <- circles) yield at (40 s) {
Set( circle.centerX -> random * stage.width tween EASE_BOTH,
circle.centerY -> random * stage.height tween EASE_IN
) }}timeline.play();
Animation in Scala
24
Optional tween syntax
Event Listeners in Scala

> Supported using the built-in Closure syntax> Arguments for event objects> 100% type-safe
onMouseClicked = { (e: MouseEvent) =>
Timeline(at(3 s){radius->0}).play()
}
Event Listeners in Scala

Jumping Frogs Puzzle
> My first ScalaFX program> Similar to (but more concise as) my version using
JavaFX 1.2> After a few JavaFX 1.2 to ScalaFX translation
iterations it just worked> After some MVC rethinking and a few refactoring
iterations it worked even better (e.g. it is possible to click on a jumping frog)
Application
object JumpingFrogsPuzzle extends JFXApp { stage = new Stage { title = TITLE scene = new Scene { content = theShapes.canvasShape :: theShapes.stoneShapes ::: theView.frogShapes } }}
29
Frog
trait Frog { def movesToRight: Boolean def movesToLeft: Boolean}class LeftFrog() extends Frog { def movesToRight = true def movesToLeft = false}class RightFrog() extends Frog { def movesToRight = false def movesToLeft = true}
30
Model (frogMap)
var frogMap: Map[Int, Frog] = _
private val frogAtPosition = (i: Int) => frogMap(i)
val positionOf = (frog: Frog) => (for { (i, `frog`) <- frogMap} yield i) head
31
Model (move)
private val move = (next: Int => Int) => (frog: Frog) => frogMap = (for { entry@(_, aFrog) <- frogMap if (aFrog != frog) } yield { entry }) + (next(positionOf(frog)) -> frog)
32
View (jump)
private val jump = (length: Int) => (direction: (Double, Double) => Double) => (frogShape: FrogShape) => { // ... Timeline(Seq( at(midTime) { frogShape.centerX -> midCenterX }, at(midTime) { frogShape.centerY -> midCenterY }, at(endTime) { frogShape.centerX -> endCenterX }, at(endTime) { frogShape.centerY -> endCenterY } )).play()}
33
View (control)
private val control: Unit => Unit = { _ => view.frogShapes.foreach { frogShape => frogShape.onMouseClicked = { (_: MouseEvent) => val frog = frogShape.frog if (model.canMoveOneRight(frog)) { view.jumpOneRight(frogShape) model.moveOneRight(frog) } else if (model.canMoveTwoRight(frog)) { view.jumpTwoRight(frogShape) model.moveTwoRight(frog)

Application Initialization
> JavaFX Requires all UI code executed on the Application Thread
> But our ScalaFX Application has no start method:
object VanishingCircles extends JFXApp {
stage = new Stage { … }}
How Does This Code Work?!?
37
DelayedInit
> Introduced in Scala 2.9> How to Use It:1. Extend a special trait called DelayedInit2. Implement a method of type:
def delayedInit(x: => Unit): Unit3. Store off the init closure and call it on the
Application Thread
For me, Scala didn't throw enough away and added too much - a lethal combination.
Joda says…
Hierarchical Implicit Conversions
> ScalaFX defines a set of proxies that mirror the JavaFX hierarchy
> JavaFX classes are "implicitly" wrapped when you call a ScalaFX API
> But Scala implicit priority ignores type hierarchy!
38
JFXNode
JFXShape
JFXCircle
SFXNode

N-Level Implicit Precedence
> Scala throws an exception if two implicits have the same precedence
> Classes that are extended have 1 lower precedence:
> You can stack extended traits n-levels deep to reduce precision by n
39
Well, it may be type safe, but its also silent and very deadly.
Joda says…
object HighPriorityIncludes extends LowerPriorityIncludes {…}trait LowerPriorityIncludes {…}
Properties
> JavaFX supports properties of type Boolean, Integer, Long, Float, Double, String, and Object
> Properties use Generics for type safety> But generics don't support primitives…
> JavaFX solves this with 20 interfaces and 44 classes for all the type/readable/writable combinations.
> Can we do better?
40
@specialized
> Special annotation that generates primitive variants of the class
> Improves performance by avoiding boxing/unboxing
> Cuts down on code duplication (ScalaFX only has 18 property/value classes total)
41
Whatever the problem, the type system is bound to be part of the solution.
Joda says…
trait ObservableValue[@specialized(Int, Long, Float, Double, Boolean) T, J]
Bindings
42
> How does Scala know what order to evaluate this in?
text <== when (rect.hover || circle.hover && !disabled) then textField.text + " is enabled" otherwise "disabled
And why the funky bind operator?!?
Operator Precedence Rules
43
> First Character Determines Precedence
Highest Precedence
10. (all letters)9. |8. ^7. &6. < >5. = !4. :3. + *2. / %1. (all other special characters)
Lowest Precedence
11. Assignment Operators end with equal> But don't start with equal> And cannot be one of:
<= >= !=
Exception Assignment Operators, which are even lower…
Operator Precedence
44
Personally, I find the goal of the open and flexible syntax (arbitrary DSLs) to be not worth the pain
Joda says…
text <== when (rect.hover || circle.hover
&& !disabled) then textField.text + " is
enabled" otherwise "disabled"
