Getting selected item from a JavaFX TableView

    tableview.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void changed(ObservableValue observableValue, Object oldValue, Object newValue) {
        //Check whether item is selected and set value of selected item to Label
        if(tableview.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem() != null) 
        {    
           TableViewSelectionModel selectionModel = tableview.getSelectionModel();
           ObservableList selectedCells = selectionModel.getSelectedCells();
           TablePosition tablePosition = (TablePosition) selectedCells.get(0);
           Object val = tablePosition.getTableColumn().getCellData(newValue);
           System.out.println("Selected Value" + val);
         }
         }
     });

Using this code you can get the selected value from JAVAFX TABLEVIEW Cell.

Thanks..


Ok, lets say you have a data model class named Person. This way:

Person person = taview.getSelectionModel().getSelectedItem();
System.out.println(person.getName());    

Note that TableView must take a Person as a type argument to avoid casting:

@FXML
private TableView<Person> taview;

or

TableView<Person> taview = new TableView<>();

when your row is selected, you will return one Person instance. Then do what ever you want with that instance.

Here is my try for a cell selection change listener (even if row doesn’t change), inspired by @Java Man's code:

tableView.getSelectionModel().setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
ObservableList selectedCells = tableView.getSelectionModel().getSelectedCells();

selectedCells.addListener(new ListChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onChanged(Change c) {
        TablePosition tablePosition = (TablePosition) selectedCells.get(0);
        Object val = tablePosition.getTableColumn().getCellData(tablePosition.getRow());
        System.out.println("Selected Value" + val);
    }
});
