I have a slightly off topic question - is it possible to use the latest build of TornadoFX with Gradle? Or do I have to manually clone and add it as a submodule (?, would have to look up some docs)

@pim Yeah, you have two options. Use the latest SNAPSHOT release (one each day, or whenever you need I will add one), or use JitPack.

"Snapshots are published to Sonatype" okay I can't read

@pim I can push a snapshot right now with this fix, hang on.

Snapshot uploaded.

@nimakro Thank you for your snippet concerning the map. Many things look like the code I already ported but I was not able to get it running. Your code works. However, I have an initial white map that I have to refresh first via popup->refresh and I try to find out how to do this programatically. This was a greta post because I learned a few thing where I asked me how this is done in Koltin and TornadoFX. It made click when I saw that you simply added the function googlemapview and added it to the root. Great example

I am glad I could help. Let us know if you run into any other problems concerning tornadoFX!

I'm really proud of our community. So many people are investing their time to help out others. It's one of the most amazing things about open source.

@nimakro Thank you very much. Since I start from scratch to Kotlin and TornadoFX (before I used Java and Swing) there will be moments where I still need help. So for example if you see with one view how to programatically reload the map this would be nice. I cannot find a function for that in mapview or map, but since there is a popup where I can do this there must be a function to reload.

@edvin The good thing is, the more the newbies like me understand how it works we can give back our knowledge and grow the community

Yeah, and even blog about it or send a PR to the Wiki or the guide :))

@dr.fornax I am not sure if I am understanding correctly, you are trying to move the viewpoint of the map to a different location pragmatically? Or why do you need to refresh the map. If I start the sample program I posted the map is loaded automatically.

Hm, when I start the app the map is white and then I do a right klick and refrsh and it refreshes

Mhm, strange which version are you using. I used 2.12.0 from maven central

compile group: ‘com.lynden’, name: ‘GMapsFX’, version: ‘2.12.0’

Maybe this is because I embedded the view inside a borderpane at the center? But this would be a strange behaviour since it is shown somehow. In white and has the popup menu Reload page

Mhm, I just checked, it is also working for me with the border pane. Which java version are you using? I am on 1.8.0_121

Are you on the same OS, 32bit or 64bit?

MacOS Sierra 10.12.5, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)

I am on linux 64 bit, so it could be that it has something to do with the web engine?

Hard to say, but since it is an embedded vebview this could be possible

I should try it on linux, too. How can I deploy the project. I remember that you were able to create an apk, linux binary or exe with JavaFX where everything is embedded, is this also possible wih Kotlin and TornadoFX?

Absolutely, you can use javapacker or even my FXLauncher for automatic updates :)

Bottom line is that using Kotlin and TornadoFX doesn't change the deployment scenario for JavaFX apps, they are just libraries that must be on the classpath.

Very nice. Okay I so have to dive into it. Could this deployment be integrated into the TornadoFX plugin scripts so that it can be done from gradle? I didi this a long time ago with netbeans

However, I will also try to integrate it in my CIS system

ci system

@dr.fornax We have a Gradle plugin for FXLauncher 🙂 https://github.com/edvin/fxlauncher-gradle-plugin

👍

@edvin StackPane.setAlignment isn't working for me on a button typesafe builder. is this the correct usage?
