Java icon class to image

conorblack

Hello,

I am looking to display the image of an icon of a file (Java File class used and then Icon class to get image: Icon ico = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(file);)...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to render/display this icon image in Processing?

Or maybe a conversion to PImage....?

Wrote you a little wrapper function that converts Icon to PImage:

import javax.swing.filechooser.FileSystemView;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import java.awt.Image;

void setup() {
    PImage iconImage = getIcon("C:\\Users\\Poersch\\Desktop\\some-file-on-my-desktop.txt");
    image(iconImage, 0, 0);
}

PImage getIcon(String filename) {
    ImageIcon imageIcon = (ImageIcon)FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(new File(filename));
    return new PImage(imageIcon.getImage());
}
