So what I try to do is make the java read text file and then use information inside to calculate mean. Here is my code main.java

package cw3;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Main extends Application{

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception{
    Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Calc.fxml"));
    primaryStage.setTitle("TEST");
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root));
    primaryStage.show();
}

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

Controller.java

package cw3;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.control.TextArea;

//To open the load window
import javafx.stage.FileChooser;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class Controller {

@FXML // ResourceBundle that was given to the FXMLLoader
private ResourceBundle resources;

@FXML // URL location of the FXML file that was given to the FXMLLoader
private URL location;

@FXML // fx:id="load"
private Button load; // Value injected by FXMLLoader

@FXML // fx:id="mean"
private TextArea mean; // Value injected by FXMLLoader

@FXML
void loadPressed(ActionEvent event) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException{

 FileChooser myfileChooser = new FileChooser();
 myfileChooser.setTitle("Open..."); 
 File FileDestination = myfileChooser.showOpenDialog(new Stage());
 String filename = FileDestination.getName();

 System.out.print(filename);

 // FileReader reads text files in the default encoding.
 FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(filename);

 // Always wrap FileReader in BufferedReader.
 BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
 String inputFileLine = null;
 double Mean = 0;
 int totalnumber = 0;


 while ((inputFileLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
     Mean += Double.valueOf(inputFileLine);
     totalnumber++;
 }
 double showmean = Mean/totalnumber;
 mean.setText(String.valueOf(showmean));
}

@FXML // This method is called by the FXMLLoader when initialization is complete
void initialize() {
    assert load != null : "fx:id=\"load\" was not injected: check your FXML file 'Calc.fxml'.";
    assert mean != null : "fx:id=\"mean\" was not injected: check your FXML file 'Calc.fxml'.";

}
}

Please help me solve this error it is a bit confuse. I get this error after clicking the open button from load window.

P.S. I use scenebuilder app and netbean in order to develop java application. I believe that fxml file does not matter if you want to see fxml file let me know.

The root error is:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Test.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:93)
        at java.io.FileReader.<init>(FileReader.java:58)
        at cw3.Controller.loadPressed(Controller.java:48)

Which is saying the file Test.txt does not exist and that the error is being thrown on line 48 of your cw3.Controller class. Check out the What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors? Q&A for more information about stack traces and how to read them.

In your code:

@FXML
void loadPressed(ActionEvent event) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException{

 FileChooser myfileChooser = new FileChooser();
 myfileChooser.setTitle("Open..."); 
 File FileDestination = myfileChooser.showOpenDialog(new Stage());
 String filename = FileDestination.getName();

 System.out.print(filename);

 // FileReader reads text files in the default encoding.
 FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(filename);

 // Always wrap FileReader in BufferedReader.
 BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
 String inputFileLine = null;
 double Mean = 0;
 int totalnumber = 0;


 while ((inputFileLine = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
     Mean += Double.valueOf(inputFileLine);
     totalnumber++;
 }
 double showmean = Mean/totalnumber;
 mean.setText(String.valueOf(showmean));
}

You're passing the result of FileDestination.getName() (by the way, according to Java naming conventions, variable names start with a lowercase letter) to the FileReader constructor. Here's what the documentation of File#getName() says:

Returns the name of the file or directory denoted by this abstract pathname. This is just the last name in the pathname's name sequence [emphasis added]. If the pathname's name sequence is empty, then the empty string is returned.

You need to pass the full path. You could do this via File#getPath() but it'd probably be easier to just use the FileReader#<init>(File) constructor and pass the File object directly. You also need to remember to close the FileReader when done with it; the easiest way to accomplish this is to use the try-with-resources statement. For example:

File chosenFile = ...;
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(chosenFile)) {
    // read from the BufferedReader
}
// Note: Closing the BufferedReader will close the nested FileReader

Some other notes:

  • You can use the NIO.2 API to open a BufferedReader by converting the File to a Path via File#toPath() and then using Files#newBufferedReader(Path).

    • Also see some of the other available API, such as Files#lines(Path) (don't forget to close the Stream when done with it).

  • Your method is performing I/O work on the JavaFX Application Thread (i.e. the UI thread). You never want to do blocking or otherwise long-running work on the FX thread as that will freeze the UI which is not a good user experience. Consider moving the I/O work to a background thread, then publishing the result back to the FX thread. See Concurrency in JavaFX and the javafx.concurrent package for more information.

  • You need to handle the case where FileChooser#showOpenDialog(Window) returns null. This will happen if the user cancels out of the dialog. Currently your code will simply throw a NullPointerException.

  • Don't pass some random, just-instantiated Stage to #showOpenDialog(Window). You should pass the appropriate window instance (typically the window the button/whatever belongs to) so that the modality functions correctly (i.e. prevent the user from interacting with the owner window while the file chooser dialog is showing). Each Node holds a reference to its Scene which holds a reference to its Window. In your case, you could use load.getScene().getWindow().

Thank you very much!! I just realize that I should pass the File type not the the getName() one. This code I made to test only one function and keep adding stuff so it might not have all the condition provide. The root problem section help me a lot!! I know root problem when dealing with the c++ so I kinda new to java root problem :D
Glad to help :) Also, note InvocationTargetException will never be the root cause. That exception is thrown when a method invoked via reflection throws an exception (the InvocationTargetException wraps the exception thrown by the method).
