[FIXED] How to find image pattern from a rectangle?

Issue

Okay, so a similar kind of question was asked here about finding color from a rectangle using this code (in an if statement, we would get a boolean):

    Rectangle.getfill.equals(Color.BLACK). 

Now, in my project I have filled my rectangles with images. Is there a way to find what image I put in my rectangle as similar to the code above finding what color was put on it.

    if (((Rectangle) object).getFill().equals("C:\\Users\\shree\\IdeaProjects\\DOLP2\\src\\sample\\00.jpg"))
    {
        System.out.println("Image detected");
    }
    else
    {
        System.out.println("Not working");
    }                   

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Solution

You need an Image pattern like you added to the image the reason yours isnt working is its comparing a filePath String to the fill of a rectangle which will never be equal but if you turn that filePath into an ImagePattern you've got yourself some Image detection. Check out my example.

public class Main extends Application {

    //This is the Important part
    private ImagePattern imagePattern = new ImagePattern(new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("FilePath.png")));

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();

        rectangle.setX(150.0f);
        rectangle.setY(75.0f);
        rectangle.setWidth(300.0f);
        rectangle.setHeight(150.0f);

        //Setting rectangle with the Image Pattern
        rectangle.setFill(imagePattern);

        Button button = new Button("Check");
        button.setOnAction(event -> {
            if(rectangle.getFill().equals(imagePattern))
                System.out.println("We've got it Captain!!");
            else
                System.out.println("new fone who dis");
        });

        VBox vBox = new VBox(rectangle);
        vBox.getChildren().add(button);

        stage.setScene(new Scene(vBox));
        stage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
}

You bet every time you click that button it prints out:

We've got it Captain!!
