The :class:FileBrowser widget is an advanced file browser. You use it
similarly to FileChooser usage.
It provides a shortcut bar with links to special and system directories. When touching next to a shortcut in the links bar, it'll expand and show all the directories within that directory. It also facilitates specifying custom paths to be added to the shortcuts list.
It provides a icon and list view to choose files from. And it also accepts filter and filename inputs.
To create a FileBrowser which prints the currently selected file as well as the current text in the filename field when 'Select' is pressed, with a shortcut to the Documents directory added to the favorites bar::
ffrom kivy.app import App
from os.path import sep, expanduser, isdir, dirname
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
if platform == 'win':
user_path = dirname(expanduser('~')) + sep + 'Documents'
else:
user_path = expanduser('~') + sep + 'Documents'
browser = FileBrowser(select_string='Select',
favorites=[(user_path, 'Documents')])
browser.bind(
on_success=self._fbrowser_success,
on_canceled=self._fbrowser_canceled)
return browser
def _fbrowser_canceled(self, instance):
print 'cancelled, Close self.'
def _fbrowser_success(self, instance):
print instance.selection
TestApp().run()
:Events::
`on_canceled`:
Fired when the `Cancel` buttons `on_release` event is called.
`on_success`:
Fired when the `Select` buttons `on_release` event is called.
