We are building an extension that visualizes some data for workspace files in our view using a class derived from TreeDataProvider. We wonder if there is a way to use file icons contributed by the current File Icons Theme for our custom tree items. Base icon class has a field icon: ThemeIcon which supports product icons. Wonder if something similar exists for referring to file-type icons?
Thanks
Seems like using resourceUri and ThemeIcon.File is the way to do it:
this.iconPath = ThemeIcon.File;
this.resourceUri = Uri.parse('_.js');

I have an application composed of a number of different Dart and Flutter packages.
This has proven useful in that I've been able to move things like fonts, colours and Widgets into an independent style guide package which we can then use across all of our other applications.
Using custom fonts in a package works slightly differently in Flutter as we need to add the assets directory as a child of lib rather than a sibling:
…and then register these assets in pubspec.yaml like so:
assets:
- packages/receipt_widget/assets/fonts/my_font.ttf
// other asset declarations
This, for custom fonts and icons (png, jpg etc) works completely fine. My issue is that the same approach does not work for custom icon fonts.
Steps:
Generate custom icon font using IcoMoon or Flutter Icon
Place the generated font into the assets/fonts directory as demonstrated above
Place the generated dart file into the lib folder
Reference the custom icon in code and place into an Icon widget like so:
Icon(MyFontIcon.ic_heart);
For safety I then run flutter clean and uninstall the app from the device/ emulator before deploying a clean build.
I'm then left with a question mark rather than the referenced icon.
NB. the very same icons work correctly when used in a Flutter application directly rather than in a package.
To use your Flutter Icon font from a custom package, you can follow these steps:
(I repeated some of your steps already, for others who will find this issue)
create a flutter icon font
You can use flutter icon for that https://www.fluttericon.com
Put the file into your package
Make sure to copy the .ttf file into of the /lib folder.
NOT just assets, as you would do in your root project.
Example path:
/packages/my_awesome_fontpackage/lib/assets/MyIconFont.ttf
(see https://zubairehman.medium.com/how-to-use-custom-fonts-images-in-flutter-package-c2d9d4bfd47a )
Add the font to your project
Now open your package's pubspec.yaml file and add the font as an asset with package path:
flutter:
fonts:
- family: MyIconFont
fonts:
- asset: packages/my_awesome_fontpackage/assets/MyIconFont.ttf
(you might have to restart your app and bundling completely for the font to be loaded correctly and maybe run flutter clean just to be sure)
Now add package declaration to font dart file
Go into the my_icon_font.dart file and change the constant _kFontPkg there to your package name.
class MyIconFont {
MyIconFont._();
static const _kFontFam = 'MyIconFont';
static const String? _kFontPkg = 'my_awesome_fontpackage';
static const IconData bell = ...
....
}
Is it possible to have access or use file icons inside a webview? The icons on the side of each file/folder in the explorer.
My project has a custom activity bar, where I would like to show icons for a file type, preferably using the current Icon Theme, is this possible?
I've seen that code icons can be used, injecting the css in the webview:
const codiconsUri = webview.asWebviewUri(
vscode.Uri.joinPath(extensionUri, 'node_modules', 'vscode-codicons', 'dist', 'codicon.css'),
);
Then used like this inside the webview's HTML:
<i class="codeicons codeicons-beaker"></i>
But I have not been able to find any reference about how to do this with file icons.
I have the same issue.
I notice that the error code is 401(Unauthorized) when loading the codicon.css.
But it works if I copy the codicon.css and codicon.ttf files to the other folder which is the same level as the node_modules.
I want to use flutter inbuilt icons as assets. So I want default location where all of flutter icons are located in flutter folder of flutter installation.
This would seem to imply that there's a fontFamily named 'MaterialIcons'. Not sure you can get it easily from any part of the Flutter distro, but https://material.io/resources/icons/ will show how to download or reference the font for your material designs.
static const IconData ac_unit_outlined = IconData(0xe005, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons')
I don't think they are. If you look at the IconData class (https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/IconData-class.html). You will see that the description says 'A description of an icon fulfilled by a font glyph.'
Taking an example of one of the Icon values:
static const IconData list_alt = IconData(0xe81b, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons');
I believe what that is telling us is that the Icon is being defined by the position 0xe81b in the Unicode font family called MaterialIcons
Not an answer to the original question, but likely tangentially helpful...
To visually identify & search/filter icons, both from the included MaterialIcons from Google and those created by the Community, check out:
https://materialdesignicons.com/
And to use them, the related pub.dev package for material_design_icons_flutter.
I'm using a library that draws barcodes and under them it drows the barcode number, however it draws text just in black color. I found the code that chooses the color during this operations, however when I try to change this code library from Colors.black to Colors.white and I save it, it doesn't save for some reason. So I suppose there is a different way to modify code from library, but I don't know how.
#Gabriel, You can easily copy .dart files from the package/library you're using to your project and modify the code to your liking. For e.g. if you are using https://pub.dev/packages/toggle_switch, then you can access the source code from the GitHub location of the package in pub.dev and download it from GitHub,
You can then copy .dart files from <project>/lib to your <project>/lib and modify them accordingly. Make sure you add reference in the source code to credit the original developers and add their GitHub link.
Good luck!
I was wondering how one could use his own icons in a Flutter-Mapbox plugins' marker?
There's no default marker icon (no provided icon - no marker),
and there's not enough documentation on how to use a custom image.
adding a symbol (marker) is as follows:
mapController.addSymbol(
SymbolOptions(
geometry:LatLng(0.0, 0.0), // location is 0.0 on purpose for this example
iconImage: "pin"
)
);
whereas the IconImage, a String, is the field which should contain the data about the icon (obviously), but the given example repository doesn't clarify the needed parameters (url, path etc.).
Providing a path to the assets doesn't work (unlike other widgets). In the example, they provide the IconImage field the value airport-15, and when running the app, it actually works, but I can't seem to find the resources' location (it's not in #drawables or my assets folder, or any other place in the project)
You have to create a custom style on using MapBox Studio.
Create a new dataset if not already exist
Create tileset
Create new style & select customize basic template
Create new layer, give it a name for example my_sym and add newly created datasource
Then click on type & change it to symbol
Now click on my_sym two times. (first one will close the option menu & second one will open a new menu with symbol properties
Click on icon tab & select new icon. You can also upload your own svg icon.
Click on publish
Click on share it will show you the urls.
Copy the type of url & set styleString property.

As of release 0.0.5 it will be possible to load custom icon images for your markers. The idea is to add the icon image to your assets folder (for example: assets/symbols/custom-icon.png). If you specify this image as an asset in your pubspec.yaml and set the iconImage in the SymbolOptions to this path it will be loaded automatically.
Regarding the airport-15, this is an icon provided by the Android implementation of the plugin. It is part of the Maki Icons used in Mapbox. Because these icons are part of the Android implementation you will not find as a Flutter asset or an Android resource of the example app.
