I have the following code to load the fxml file. I want to change the width of the button. I am able to access the two labels using fxmlLoader.getNamespace().get("id"), but for some reason I don’t see the button inside ObservableMap returned by getNamespace(). Why is it so/

FXML file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import java.net.*?>
<?import java.util.*?>
<?import javafx.geometry.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.paint.*?>

            </stylesheets>
        </Button>
    </children>
</GridPane>

Controller Constructor

 public Key(){
    FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/fxml/key.fxml"));
    fxmlLoader.setControllerFactory(new Callback<Class<?>, Object>(){
        @Override
        public Object call(Class<?> param){
            return keyController = new KeyController();
        }
    });

    try {            
        keyView = (Node) fxmlLoader.load();            
    } catch (IOException exception) {
            throw new RuntimeException(exception);
    }
    mainTextLabel = (Label) fxmlLoader.getNamespace().get("mainTextLabel");
    shiftTextLabel = (Label) fxmlLoader.getNamespace().get("shiftTextLabel");

    getChildren().add(keyView);
 }

    I created this as a wiki post. I found the solution by trial and error ( seems like the best way to learn programming ), but if somebody can show me a location on oracle docs where the following detail is listed, you have my upvote.

    Answer

    Just add fx:id to the button.

    Before

    <Button maxHeight="45.0" maxWidth="45.0" minHeight="45.0" minWidth="45.0" mnemonicParsing="false" prefHeight="45.0" prefWidth="45.0" style="" styleClass="alphabet-button" text="~" textAlignment="CENTER" textOverrun="ELLIPSIS">

    After

    <Button fx:id="button" maxHeight="45.0" maxWidth="45.0" minHeight="45.0" minWidth="45.0" mnemonicParsing="false" prefHeight="45.0" prefWidth="45.0" style="" styleClass="alphabet-button" text="~" textAlignment="CENTER" textOverrun="ELLIPSIS">
