How to display system icon for a file in SWT?
You need a method like the following, which is a 99% copy from http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet156.java?view=co :
static ImageData convertToSWT(BufferedImage bufferedImage) {
if (bufferedImage.getColorModel() instanceof DirectColorModel) {
DirectColorModel colorModel = (DirectColorModel)bufferedImage.getColorModel();
PaletteData palette = new PaletteData(colorModel.getRedMask(), colorModel.getGreenMask(), colorModel.getBlueMask());
ImageData data = new ImageData(bufferedImage.getWidth(), bufferedImage.getHeight(), colorModel.getPixelSize(), palette);
for (int y = 0; y < data.height; y++) {
for (int x = 0; x < data.width; x++) {
int rgb = bufferedImage.getRGB(x, y);
int pixel = palette.getPixel(new RGB((rgb >> 16) & 0xFF, (rgb >> 8) & 0xFF, rgb & 0xFF));
data.setPixel(x, y, pixel);
if (colorModel.hasAlpha()) {
data.setAlpha(x, y, (rgb >> 24) & 0xFF);
}
}
}
return data;
} else if (bufferedImage.getColorModel() instanceof IndexColorModel) {
IndexColorModel colorModel = (IndexColorModel)bufferedImage.getColorModel();
int size = colorModel.getMapSize();
byte[] reds = new byte[size];
byte[] greens = new byte[size];
byte[] blues = new byte[size];
colorModel.getReds(reds);
colorModel.getGreens(greens);
colorModel.getBlues(blues);
RGB[] rgbs = new RGB[size];
for (int i = 0; i < rgbs.length; i++) {
rgbs[i] = new RGB(reds[i] & 0xFF, greens[i] & 0xFF, blues[i] & 0xFF);
}
PaletteData palette = new PaletteData(rgbs);
ImageData data = new ImageData(bufferedImage.getWidth(), bufferedImage.getHeight(), colorModel.getPixelSize(), palette);
data.transparentPixel = colorModel.getTransparentPixel();
WritableRaster raster = bufferedImage.getRaster();
int[] pixelArray = new int[1];
for (int y = 0; y < data.height; y++) {
for (int x = 0; x < data.width; x++) {
raster.getPixel(x, y, pixelArray);
data.setPixel(x, y, pixelArray[0]);
}
}
return data;
}
return null;
}
Then you can call it like:
static Image getImage(File file) {
ImageIcon systemIcon = (ImageIcon) FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(file);
java.awt.Image image = systemIcon.getImage();
if (image instanceof BufferedImage) {
return new Image(display, convertToSWT((BufferedImage)image));
}
int width = image.getWidth(null);
int height = image.getHeight(null);
BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
g2d.dispose();
return new Image(display, convertToSWT(bufferedImage));
}
For files, you can use org.eclipse.swt.program.Program
to obtain an icon (with correct set transparency) for a given file ending:
File file=...
String fileEnding = file.getName().substring(file.getName().lastIndexOf('.'));
ImageData iconData=Program.findProgram(fileEnding ).getImageData();
Image icon= new Image(Display.getCurrent(), iconData);
For folders, you might consider just using a static icon.
