Re: which technology should give preference
Yes, as I suggested too, this is probably not the appropriate forum to post such questions. I tried to say this in an inoffensive way as possible because we are all human and make simple mistakes. I wish Amno all the best with their JavaFX app and I would suggest they check-out the products of Gluon when it comes to porting the app to mobile.

Re: which technology should give preference
No worries. Also I agree with Johan that it would be more appropriate to ask questions like this on, say, Stack Overflow. As Johan mentioned this list is for discussing the development of JavaFX itself (not the use of it).

Re: which technology should give preference
Amno, It is not a zero-sum choice. FXML is a part of JavaFX. FXML does not add anything, per se (in terms of nodes, controls, etc.) FXML allows for decoupling the specific UI configuration (in terms of what nodes contain which and their positions, etc.). Basically it is the most sustainable (in terms of increasing application size/scope) practice to use FXML for setting up the initial scenes (and perhaps also wiring event listeners) In the Android world it is equivalent to using the Layout Editor (similar to FXML) versus making the scene programmatically by calling constructors, setting ownership, positions, constraints, etc. There is nothing that can be done using FXML that can't be done using pure Java.

Re: which technology should give preference
FXML is “part” of JavaFX. It’s the format used to specify the UI of a JavaFX application. Plus I don’t think this is the appropriate list to post such questions as it is intended as a forum to discuss the development of JavaFX itself. > On 7 Sep 2018, at 09:47, AmnoJeeuw wrote: > > I am learning hands-on how to program using JavaFX and in the process doing > so I’ve come across FXML; which I find most interesting.
