How to Create Mobile Apps with JavaFX (Part 1)
In this three-part series, I’ll show how to use JavaFX for mobile app development: JavaFX looks great and runs on both mobile platforms.
You use the same JavaFX code targeting Google Play and Apple App stores. Performance is excellent and startup time is fast with native images.
You use Java 11+ and the latest JavaFX.
Our game is TiltMaze Labyrinth!

Interviews with Robert Savage and Johan Vos on the State of Java on Raspberry Pi
Here on Foojay.io, you can find already a long list of articles about Java on the Raspberry Pi.
As you may know, already I’m a big fan of this combination. The Raspberry Pi on one side is a very cheap computer that allows you to experiment with electronic components thanks to the Pi4J library.
And on the other hand, JavaFX is the ideal framework to build user interfaces that can directly control these components, all in one application!
But maybe you don’t have / want to believe me? So let’s ask two experts what they think is the future of #JavaOnRaspberryPi.

Creating a Snake Game with JavaFX FXGL in Three Pair-Programming Sessions
In this article, Almas and Frank show you how to start with an idea for a game and bring it to life in a prototype application. We will then modify the application to run on a Raspberry Pi and on a mobile device.
To give some background, some time ago my 10y old son challenged me to create a Snake-like game with emojis. He selected the emoji images and I “only” needed to do the programming bit, the easy part… Luckily Almas asked me if I had a topic for some pair-programming for his YouTube channel, and his question turned into a three-part series. My son is delighted because his idea is now a real game!

Native Applications for Multiple Devices from a Single JavaFX Project with Gluon Mobile and GitHub Actions
The power of JavaFX combined with the Gluon tools and GitHub actions is amazing. Building and distributing a truly cross-platform application has never been easier!
Really not a single code change is needed to run on different platforms. As you can see from the build processed, the exact same code is used to create native applications for both Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS, and Android!
