October 13, 2014 by blogmeister·0 Comments

A community user in the Oracle forum posted this short snippet in hiding a TableView column header regardless if your table still does not have any data.

The listener will handle the hiding of the header column once it gets triggered.

table.widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
    @Override
    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> source, Number oldWidth, Number newWidth) {
        Pane header = (Pane) table.lookup("TableHeaderRow");
        if (header.isVisible()){
            header.setMaxHeight(0);
            header.setMinHeight(0);
            header.setPrefHeight(0);
            header.setVisible(false);
        }
    }
});

table.widthProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {

@Override

public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> source, Number oldWidth, Number newWidth) {

Pane header = (Pane) table.lookup("TableHeaderRow");

if (header.isVisible()){

header.setMaxHeight(0);

header.setMinHeight(0);

header.setPrefHeight(0);

header.setVisible(false);

}

});

Turtle Invaders is a game available for all iOS and Android devices catered specifically to kids. The game play is simple and straightforward. Shoot all turtles using your octopus shooting ink upward while they pass you by.

The graphics look vibrant and the character designs appeal to kids. While young kids may not care about the score since all they have to do is keep on tapping the turtles to hit them, older kids may find getting a high score a challenge.

The turtles at first may look harmless but as you progress through each level, you will find out that they indeed fight back. So get those trigger happy fingers of yours ready because playing Turtle Invaders is an inkfest.

Key features:

Fun for all, with additional features to help children with special needs.
Fully customizable settings can adjust game options based on the skill level of the individual.
Helps in improving hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills for younger children
Switch accessible for children with motor limitations.
Just touch the screen to play or use an external switch (connected through a Bluetooth switch interface such as TabAccess).
Beginner’s options to help gain confidence during game play.
Enables play by all kids of all skill levels.
Graphics and music can be graded to make this game suitable for sensory sensitive kids or for kids that are easily distracted, such as children with Autism or attention deficit disorder.
