FileBrowser

The 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:

from kivy.app import App
from os.path import sep, expanduser, isdir, dirname
import sys

class TestApp(App):

    def build(self):
        if sys.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()
