This class provides HostServices for an Application. This includes methods to get the code base and document base for an Application, and to show a web page in a browser.
Since:JavaFX 2.0

public final class HostServices { private final HostServicesDelegate delegate;
Package scope constructor to create the HostServices object.
Params:
  • app – the application class
/** * Package scope constructor to create the HostServices object. * * @param app the application class */
HostServices(Application app) { delegate = HostServicesDelegate.getInstance(app); }
Gets the code base URI for this application. This method returns the directory containing the application jar file. If the application is not packaged in a jar file, this method returns the empty string.
Returns:the code base URI for this application.
/** * Gets the code base URI for this application. * This method returns * the directory containing the application jar file. If the * application is not packaged in a jar file, this method * returns the empty string. * * @return the code base URI for this application. */

Gets the document base URI for this application. This method returns the URI of the current directory.
Returns:the document base URI for this application.
/** * Gets the document base URI for this application. * This method returns * the URI of the current directory. * * @return the document base URI for this application. */
public final String getDocumentBase() { return delegate.getDocumentBase(); }
Resolves the specified relative URI against the base URI and returns the resolved URI.

Example:

    HostServices services = getHostServices();
    String myImage = services.resolveURI(services.getDocumentBase(),
                                         "image.jpg");
    Image image = new Image(myImage);
Params:
  • base – the base URI against which to resolve the relative URI
  • rel – the relative URI to be resolved
Throws:
Returns:the fully resolved URI.
/** * Resolves the specified relative URI against the base URI and returns * the resolved URI. * * <p>Example:</p> * <pre> * HostServices services = getHostServices(); * String myImage = services.resolveURI(services.getDocumentBase(), * "image.jpg"); * Image image = new Image(myImage); * </pre> * * @param base the base URI against which to resolve the relative URI * * @param rel the relative URI to be resolved * * @throws NullPointerException if either the <code>base</code> or the * <code>rel</code> strings are null. * @throws IllegalArgumentException if there is an error parsing either * the <code>base</code> or <code>rel</code> URI strings, or if there is * any other error in resolving the URI. * * @return the fully resolved URI. */
public final String resolveURI(String base, String rel) { URI uri = URI.create(base).resolve(rel); return uri.toString(); }
Opens the specified URI in a new browser window or tab. The determination of whether it is a new browser window or a tab in an existing browser window will be made by the browser preferences. Note that this will respect the pop-up blocker settings of the default browser; it will not try to circumvent them.
Params:
  • uri – the URI of the web page that will be opened in a browser.
