Choosing a file from explorer and insert his name to python kivy app
To choose a file from the explorer and insert its name into a Python Kivy app, you can make use of the FileChooser
widget provided by Kivy. Here's an example of how you can implement this functionality:
pythonfrom kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.boxlayout import BoxLayout
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.filechooser import FileChooserListView
class FileChooserApp(App):
def build(self):
layout = BoxLayout(orientation='vertical')
file_chooser = FileChooserListView()
def select_file(instance):
selected_file = file_chooser.selection and file_chooser.selection[0] or None
if selected_file:
print("Selected File:", selected_file)
# You can use the selected_file path or name as needed in your application
button = Button(text="Select File", on_release=select_file)
layout.add_widget(file_chooser)
layout.add_widget(button)
return layout
FileChooserApp().run()
In this example, the Kivy app consists of a FileChooserListView
widget to display the file explorer and a Button
widget to trigger the file selection. The select_file
function is bound to the Button
widget's on_release
event and retrieves the selected file path using the FileChooserListView
widget's selection
property.
When the user selects a file, the selected file's path is printed in the console. You can modify the select_file
function to process the selected file as required in your application.
Running this script will open a Kivy app window with a file explorer. Clicking the "Select File" button will allow you to choose a file, and the selected file's path will be printed in the console.
You can customize the Kivy app's layout and incorporate this file selection mechanism into your existing Kivy application based on your specific requirements.
