FileIcon

The file icon widget shows a graphic that represents a file or a folder. It inspects the mime type of the item to pick a suitable icon - such as an image, audio or text symbol - and overlays the file extension so the user can see the exact format at a glance.

Create one with widget.NewFileIcon() passing the fyne.URI of the item to represent. URIs are usually returned from a file dialog or the storage package, and you can build one from a path using storage.NewFileURI().

Passing nil shows a generic file icon, which is useful as a placeholder before a document has been chosen. Once the user picks an item you can call SetURI(...) to update the display.

  package main

import (
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/container"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/storage"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/widget"
)

func main() {
	myApp := app.New()
	myWindow := myApp.NewWindow("FileIcon Widget")

	text := widget.NewFileIcon(storage.NewFileURI("./readme.txt"))
	image := widget.NewFileIcon(storage.NewFileURI("./photo.jpg"))

	myWindow.SetContent(container.NewHBox(text, image))
	myWindow.ShowAndRun()
}
