Focus event in fxml

Question

In the fxml file of a GUI we can direct the code to a method when a particular event occurs.
For action events, it would be something like this:

<Button fx:id="btn1" onAction="#actionPause" />

But as for the case of the object being focused?
In my case, I’m looking for that to use in a TextField to remove its default content and change its style.

Please stick to resolutions for fxml files.

Unfortunately you can’t do this directly in fxml. The events that can be configured directly in FXML are: setOnAction, Drag & Drop (Drag & Drop), Keyboard, Mouse, Rotation, Swipe and Zoom.

But in your code you can do the following:

public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable{

@FXML
// Link entre o controlador e a interface
private TextField idtextfield;

// ... Algum código

public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb){
    /* Adicionando um listener para capturar mudanças de foco
    *  Obs.: O primeiro componente de cima para baixo normalmente recebe o foco
    *  da aplicação, então tenha cautela 
    */
    idtextfield.focusedProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
        @Override
        public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue) {
            // newValue terá o valor do foco atual, oldValue o valor anterior
            // Se estiver com o foco o valor será true
            System.out.println(newValue);
         }
    });
