With the JavaFX technology it is easy to build your own customized JavaFX Address Book.

Understanding the Code

The code shown in Figure 1 creates JavaFX Address Book, which enables the user to easily use all contact details. The user can locate the contact list name on a real Yahoo map and send email to that contact. Thumbnail images are also supported in the contact list.

Source Code


public class ContactNode extends CustomNode {
    public var name: String;
    public var phone: String;
    public var email: String;
    public var location: String;
    public var imageurl: String;
    var xPos: Number;
    public var yPos: Number;
    public var visibility: Boolean = false;
   .......
