Javafx: TableView change row color based on column value

Question

I have the following piece of code to update both the color of a column cell and its corresponding row:

    calltypel.setCellFactory(column -> {
        return new TableCell<CallLogs, String>() {
            @Override
            protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);

                setText(empty ? "" : getItem().toString());
                setGraphic(null);

                TableRow currentRow = getTableRow();

                //This doesn't work
                if(item.equals("a")){
                    item.setTextFill(Color.RED);
                    currentRow.setTextFill(Color.PINK);
                    }
                else{
                    item.setTextFill(Color.GREEN);
                    currentRow.setTextFill(Color.BLUE);
                }

            }
        };
    });

The code segment of 'if' condition doesn't work. I am unable to identify the correct references to objects and also what is the best way to do this.

Thanks!

private void customiseFactory(TableColumn<CallLogs, String> calltypel) {
    calltypel.setCellFactory(column -> {
        return new TableCell<CallLogs, String>() {
            @Override
            protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
                super.updateItem(item, empty);

                setText(empty ? "" : getItem().toString());
                setGraphic(null);

                TableRow<CallLogs> currentRow = getTableRow();

                if (!isEmpty()) {

                    if(item.equals("a")) 
                        currentRow.setStyle("-fx-background-color:lightcoral");
                    else
                        currentRow.setStyle("-fx-background-color:lightgreen");
                }
            }
        };
    });
}

This works!
