Displaying JavaFX TableView row number in a column

    TableColumn<String, String> nameColumn = new TableColumn<>("name");
    nameColumn.setCellValueFactory(f -> new ReadOnlyObjectWrapper<>(f.getValue()));

    ObservableList<TableColumn<String, ?>> columns = table.getColumns();
    columns.add(indexColumn);
    columns.add(nameColumn);

    Group root = new Group();
    root.getChildren().add(table);
    Scene scene = new Scene(root);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();

    stage.sizeToScene();

I made a CallBack according to your code

public class IndexCallBack<S> implements Callback<TableColumn<S, Integer>, TableCell<S, Integer>> {
	@Override
	public TableCell<S, Integer> call(TableColumn<S, Integer> sIntegerTableColumn) {
		TableCell<S, Integer> indexCell = new TableCell<>();
		ReadOnlyObjectProperty<TableRow<S>> rowProperty = indexCell.tableRowProperty();
		ObjectBinding<Integer> rowBinding = Bindings.createObjectBinding(
				() -> {
					TableRow<S> row = rowProperty.get();
					if (row != null) {
						int rowIndex = row.getIndex();
						if (rowIndex < row.getTableView().getItems().size()) {
							return rowIndex;
						}
					}
					return null;
				},
				rowProperty
		);
		indexCell.textProperty().bind(new SimpleStringProperty(rowBinding.toString()));
		return indexCell;
	}
}

And I got ObjectBinding[invalid] for index column.

@BuiHoangTu I haven't looked at JavaFX in years (and haven't been doing much Java at all lately) but it looks like your SimpleStringProperty is calling toString() on the ObjectBinding itself. That's not going to get you the bound value, it's just going to get you the string representation of the binding object.

You'll notice that in my code it's not an ObjectBinding<Integer>, it's an ObjectBinding<String> (which could probably be a StringBinding, actually), and the int to String conversion happens inside the binding (see line 34).
