public class GlassPane
extends MobileLayoutPane

The GlassPane exists in an invisible layer above the main UI of a Glisten MobileApplication. It is created by Glisten automatically, and as such there is no publicly available constructor - instead developers who want to interact with the GlassPane are encouraged to call the MobileApplication.getGlassPane() method (via the MobileApplication.getInstance() singleton.

As mentioned, the GlassPane can be thought of as an invisible layer above the main UI of a Glisten application. Common use cases include using the glass pane as a means to show dialogs and popups. This is beneficial as the GlassPane can ensure that the popup appears distinct from the content beneath it, by the developer calling setBackgroundFade(double) to fade the background to a darker color, obscuring the main application and drawing focus to the popup.

In most cases, direct interaction with the GlassPane is unnecessary, as Glisten ships with a number of classes that do the necessary GlassPane manipulation behind the scenes. For example, refer to classes such as SidePopupView and Dialog.

Property Summary

Type	Property and Description
javafx.beans.property.DoubleProperty	backgroundFade The degree of fade that should be applied - by default the glasspane is fully transparent, but increasing the value of the backgroundFade property towards zero will lead to a more darkened layer appearing above the root node, which allows for any layers being shown in the glasspane to be more obvious.

backgroundFade

public final javafx.beans.property.DoubleProperty backgroundFadeProperty

The degree of fade that should be applied - by default the glasspane is fully transparent, but increasing the value of the backgroundFade property towards zero will lead to a more darkened layer appearing above the root node, which allows for any layers being shown in the glasspane to be more obvious.

Field Detail

DEFAULT_BACKGROUND_FADE_LEVEL

public static final double DEFAULT_BACKGROUND_FADE_LEVEL
