Okay, I onl have mavenLocal, mavenCentral and jcenter in my repositories. How can I add sonytype in the gradle way?

Hm, I tried url syntax in repositories but I’m a bit lost. The docs I find in the net for the sonatype setup does not seem to work in my way

@dr.fornax Can you post your grandle file?

This is nearly the file autogenerated by the tornadofx plugin in intellij

I am not an grandle expert but did you try to add this to the repository section outside of the buildscript section?

maven {
            url "<https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/no/tornado/tornadofx/>"
       }

So the complete file would look like this.

@nimakro Your example unfortunately did not work but you brought me on the right way. I forgot the maven {} and now I adjusted the path and it worked. I only had to replace url “https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/no/tornado/tornadofx/” with url “https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/” since gradle automatically contructs the tail of the path and now it is working

@edvin I was able to test the latest snapshot and it works for me. The bug seems to be fixed. Thank you for the very fast fix.

@dr.fornax Great to hear! We should add a Wiki article about using the snapshots 🙂

@edvin Yes, this should be very helpful. The other question is, why it is not already configured in the gradle file, created by the tornadofx idea plugin?

I will add it 🙂

Great

Tonight I tried to add some fields dynamically to a form and have tried to find a solution that the UI updates. Maybe you have a hint for me? I try to describe what I want.

Committed now 🙂 Fields added to a form should show up immediately, but if the form is the root component of a scene, the scene itself will probably not resize. Show me what you're doing and the end result 🙂

These are the shortened code snippets. I have a contact and a contact model and there is a list of phone numbers. In the UI I have a blank phonenumber textfield. When I click the add button I want to add a new line for a phone number that is added to the list of phone numbers. When I click minus it deletes the corresponding line. But the only thing, the ui does is resizing the ui elements a little bit. Even when I have no button action.

I have seen a few video tutorials yesterday, but there it worked out of the box or they say one should try to manipulate the children.

The reason it worked in the video is probably because it used the bindChildren function. That will automatically create UI elements corresponding to the list you pass it. What you could do here is either switch to bindChildren or add the new ui element manually. Since you want to sync the ui elements with the phone numbers in your list I suggest you use bindChildren.

🙂 Yes, I saw this yesterday, too. Have not even realized that it was made by you 😉

I try again to reproduce it, yesterday I still had a few understanding problems how to bring my approach to this solution

@edvin I tried to apply this on my problem but I have problems with the datatype. In my model I changed from MutableList to Observable List (var phoneNumbers by property<ObservableList<String>>()) and tried to bind the phoneNumber model. But since it is a property it only accepts contactModel.phoneNumbers.value instead of contactModelPhoneNumbers and when I run the code I get the message “Error:(133, 69) Kotlin: Type inference failed. Expected type mismatch: inferred type is MutableList<String>! but ObservableList<???> was expected” although I switched to ObservableList and initialized via contactModel.phoneNumbers.value = FXCollections.observableArrayList(“”)

Is the problem in the Contact Model where I declare phoneNumbers var phoneNumbers by property<ObservableList<String>>()? I have no idea how to initialize this in the model directly and do it in the view using contactModel.phoneNumbers.value = FXCollections.observableArrayList(“”)

Sorry for the newbie questions and thanks for your time, there are still a few things I have to understand in kotlin and tornadofx that are not clear to me

@dr.fornax Hey! Sorry for the late reply, a bit busy at the moment. I will get back to you later today unless somebody beats me to it 🙂

@edvin Absolutely okay, I will write if I find an own solution. Thank you for your time.

@edvin I was able to reproduce your code and to fix my error. However I have a question to your example. Since I need to insert a line in the middle of the list and add the line at the correct position I need somekind of iterator that specifies the position in the list. I created the following code and it works in some way but I get index out of bounds exceptions, I cannot delete in the middle of the array at a specified position and I can not use value += syntax. If you have time to day I look forward to a hint. Than you
