I started to develop a NumberSpinner control based on the official UI specification, because a) I needed such a control and b) I really love to develop controls :-).
I also looked into another one, but wasn't quite happy with it because I couldn't really get it to work stable and it was missing some basic requirements like "If users keep one of the buttons pressed, the value in the field increases or decreases automatically until users release the button" or different button layout.
I did not implement all the requested features of the specification (like Date and Time), but it comes already close.
(Sidenote: I am also currently getting to know Mercurial, so that I will push my work into a public repository sooner or later. For now, I will post my code here.)So here's how it looks:
The Control class
Because the control is very similar to a JavaFX TextField it is quite obvious to derive the NumberSpinner control from TextField
. You also want to have all the properties and methods which a TextField already has, especially:
selectAll()
editableProperty()
alignmentProperty()
prompTextProperty()
I expanded the control by the following methods and properties:
ObjectProperty<Number> value
, which holds the current numberObjectProperty<Number> maxValue
, which defines the maximum valueObjectProperty<Number> minValue
, which defines the minimum valueObjectProperty<Number> stepWidth
, which defines the step by which the value is changedObjectProperty<NumberStringConverter> numberStringConverter
, to convert the Number from and to StringObjectProperty<HPos> hAlignment
, which defines the horizontal position of the text field in relation to the buttonsvoid increment()
, which increments the valuevoid decrement()
, which decrements the value
Here's the complete class:

The Skin class
(Note that I didn't make a behavior class nor did I derive from SkinBase
, since both are not public API).
I don't want to go into great detail here, but just will post the code, which is hopefully self-explanatory.
One important thing to note, is that you should really unbind everything and remove all listeners from the control in the dispose()
method. Otherwise there could be memory leaks, if for some reason the skin changes.

The ClickRepeater class
Now that's an interesting part.
If you want to implement the requirement "If users keep one of the buttons pressed, the value in the field increases or decreases automatically until users release the button" from the specification, you need a way to make the buttons fire periodically while they are pressed.
Buttons have a state called "armed", which is the state before the button is actually fired, that is while it is pressed.
So, while a button is armed, I set up an endless PauseTransition
, which periodically fires the button's ActionEvent
after an initial pause of 500ms. This mimics the behavior of the KeyEvent
, which is also constantly fired, while a key is pressed.
Any button can get this click repeating behavior, by using
ClickRepeater.install(button);Here's the class:
public class ClickRepeater { /** * This is the initial pause until the button is fired for the first time. This is 500 ms as it the same value used by key events. */ private final PauseTransition initialPause = new PauseTransition(Duration.millis(500)); /** * This is for all the following intervals, after the first one. 80 ms is also used by key events. */ private final PauseTransition pauseTransition = new PauseTransition(); /** * This transition combines the first two. */ private final SequentialTransition sequentialTransition = new SequentialTransition(initialPause, pauseTransition); /** * Store the change listener, so that it can be removed in the {@link #uninstall(javafx.scene.control.ButtonBase)} method. */ private final ChangeListener<Boolean> changeListener; /** * Private constructor. * * @param buttonBase The button. */ private ClickRepeater(final ButtonBase buttonBase, final Duration interval) { initialPause.setOnFinished(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() { @Override public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) { // Fire the button the first time after the initial pause. buttonBase.fire(); } }); pauseTransition.setDuration(interval); pauseTransition.setCycleCount(Animation.INDEFINITE); pauseTransition.currentTimeProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Duration>() { @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Duration> observableValue, Duration duration, Duration duration2) { // Every time a new cycle starts, fire the button. if (duration.greaterThan(duration2)) { buttonBase.fire(); } } }); changeListener = new ChangeListener<Boolean>() { @Override public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observableValue, Boolean aBoolean, Boolean aBoolean2) { if (aBoolean2) { // If the button gets armed, start the animation. sequentialTransition.playFromStart(); } else { // Stop the animation, if the button is no longer armed. sequentialTransition.stop(); } } }; buttonBase.armedProperty().addListener(changeListener); } /** * I * nstalls the click repeating behavior for a {@link ButtonBase}. * The default click interval is 80ms. * * @param buttonBase The button. */ public static void install(ButtonBase buttonBase) { install(buttonBase, Duration.millis(80)); } /** * I * nstalls the click repeating behavior for a {@link ButtonBase} and also allows to set a click interval. * * @param buttonBase The button. * @param interval The click interval. */ public static void install(ButtonBase buttonBase, Duration interval) { // Uninstall any previous behavior. uninstall(buttonBase); // Initializes a new ClickRepeater if (!buttonBase.getProperties().containsKey(ClickRepeater.class)) { // Store the ClickRepeater in the button's properties. // If the button will get GCed, so will its ClickRepeater. buttonBase.getProperties().put(ClickRepeater.class, new ClickRepeater(buttonBase, interval)); } } /** * U * ninstalls the click repeater behavior from a button. * * @param buttonBase The button. */ public static void uninstall(ButtonBase buttonBase) { if (buttonBase.getProperties().containsKey(ClickRepeater.class) && buttonBase.getProperties().get(ClickRepeater.class) instanceof ClickRepeater) { ClickRepeater clickRepeater = (ClickRepeater) buttonBase.getProperties().remove(ClickRepeater.class); buttonBase.armedProperty().removeListener(clickRepeater.changeListener); } } }
The CSS file
Finally, to round things up, here's the CSS file for the control. It does the correct button radius for each possible button location, removes the focus style from the skin's text field and sets the focus style on the whole control instead.
.number-spinner { -fx-skin: "NumberSpinnerSkin"; -fx-padding: 0 0 0 0; -fx-cursor: default; /* Override the cursor since the "text" cursor is inherited from text field. But we want the default cursor over the buttons. */ } /* A left directed arrow */ .number-spinner .arrow { -fx-padding: 3 3.5 3 3.5; -fx-shape: "M 100 100 L 300 100 L 200 300 z"; -fx-background-color: #000000; } /* Make one-side rounded buttons */ .number-spinner .button.top-right { -fx-background-insets: 1 1 0 0, 1 1 0 0, 2 2 1 1, 3 3 2 2; -fx-background-radius: 0 3 0 0, 0 3 0 0, 0 2 0 0, 0 1 0 0; } .number-spinner .button.bottom-right { -fx-background-insets: 0 1 1 0, 0 1 1 0, 1 2 2 1, 2 3 3 2; -fx-background-radius: 0 0 3 0, 0 0 3 0, 0 0 1 0, 0 0 1 0; } .number-spinner .button.top-left { -fx-background-insets: 1 0 0 1, 1 0 0 1, 2 1 1 2, 3 2 2 3; -fx-background-radius: 3 0 0 0, 3 0 0 0, 2 0 0 0, 1 0 0 0; } .number-spinner .button.bottom-left { -fx-background-insets: 0 0 1 1, 0 0 1 1, 1 1 2 2, 2 2 3 3; -fx-background-radius: 0 0 0 3, 0 0 0 3, 0 0 0 2, 0 0 0 1; } .number-spinner .button.left { -fx-background-insets: 1 0 1 1, 1 0 1 1, 2 1 2 2, 3 2 3 3; -fx-background-radius: 3 0 0 3, 3 0 0 3, 2 0 0 2, 1 0 0 1; } .number-spinner .button.right { -fx-background-insets: 1 1 1 0, 1 1 1 0, 2 2 2 1, 3 3 3 2; -fx-background-radius: 0 3 3 0, 0 3 3 0, 0 2 2 0, 0 1 1 0; } /* Only make one side of the text field with round borders. */ .number-spinner .text-field.left { -fx-background-radius: 3 0 0 3, 2 0 0 2, 2 0 0 2; } .number-spinner .text-field.right { -fx-background-radius: 0 3 3 0, 0 2 2 0, 0 2 2 0; } /* Don't use round borders if the text field is in the center */ .number-spinner .text-field.center { -fx-background-radius: 0 0 0 0, 0 0 0 0, 0 0 0 0; } /* Make the focused text field look like an unfocused text field, since the whole spinner is already focused. */ .number-spinner .text-field:focused { -fx-background-color: -fx-shadow-highlight-color, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background; } /* Move the insets accordingly, so that there is still a little border visible between buttons and text field. */ .number-spinner .text-field.left:focused { -fx-background-insets: 2 0 2 2, 2 1 2 2, 2; } .number-spinner .text-field.right:focused { -fx-background-insets: 2 2 2 0, 2 2 2 1, 2; } .number-spinner .text-field.center:focused { -fx-background-insets: 2 0 2 0, 2 1 2 1, 2; } /* Apply the focus style to the whole control */ .number-spinner-focused { -fx-background-color: -fx-focus-color, -fx-text-box-border, -fx-control-inner-background; -fx-background-insets: -0.4, 1, 2; -fx-background-radius: 3.4, 2, 2; }Have fun and see you soon!
