I need to restrict input into a TextField to integers. Any advice?
Very old thread, but this seems neater and strips out non-numeric characters if pasted.
// force the field to be numeric only
textField.textProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, String oldValue,
String newValue) {
if (!newValue.matches("\\d*")) {
textField.setText(newValue.replaceAll("[^\\d]", ""));
}
}
});
