JavaFX HyperLink

In JavaFx, we can use hyper-links to refer the web pages. It is similar to anchor links in HTML. javafx.scene.control.HyperLink class provides all the necessary methods to deal with JavaFX hyper-links.

The following code implements HyperLink into our application.

package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class HyperLinkTest extends Application {

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

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	Hyperlink hp = new Hyperlink("http://www.javatpoint.com");
	StackPane root = new StackPane();
	hp.setOnAction(e -> System.out.println("Link Clicked"));
	root.getChildren().add(hp);
	Scene scene=new Scene(root,400,300);
	primaryStage.setScene(scene);
	primaryStage.setTitle("Hyperlink Example");
	primaryStage.show();
}
}

Output:

Attaching the image with the link

we can attach the image with the hyperlink by calling an instance method setGraphic(). It accepts the object of ImageView class. The following code attaches the image with the hyperlink.

package application;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class HyperLinkTest extends Application {

	
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args) {
launch(args);	
}

@Override
publicvoid start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	Hyperlink hp = new Hyperlink();
	hp.setOnAction(e -> System.out.println("link clicked"));
	FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream("/home/javatpoint/Desktop/JavaFX/Images/hyperlink.png");
	Image img = new Image(input);
	ImageView imgview=new ImageView(img);
	hp.setGraphic(imgview);
	StackPane root = newStackPane();
	root.getChildren().add(hp);
	Scene scene = new Scene(root,300,400);
	primaryStage.setScene(scene);
	primaryStage.setTitle("Hyperlink Example");
	primaryStage.show();
}
}
