Quick start

The file picker component provides a native interface for users to browse and select files from their device. It supports various file types and offers customization options to fit different use cases.

val file = FileKit.openFilePicker()

​
Selection mode

Select one or multiple files using the mode parameter.

  • Single - Allows the user to select a single file.
  • Multiple() - Allows the user to select multiple files.
val files = FileKit.openFilePicker(mode = FileKitMode.Multiple())

​
Filter by type

Filter the files by their type using the type parameter. You can pick different types of files with FileKitType:

  • Image: Pick an image file.
  • Video: Pick a video file.
  • ImageAndVideo: Pick an image or a video file.
  • File(): Pick any file. It is the default type. It’s possible to specify a list of extensions.
val file = FileKit.openFilePicker(type = FileKitType.File(listOf("pdf", "docx")))
On Android and iOS, using Image, Video or ImageAndVideo FileKitType will open a gallery picker. Read more here.

​
Customizing the dialog

You can customize the dialog by setting the title, the initial directory and some settings relative to the platform.

val file = FileKit.openFilePicker(
    title = "Custom title",
    directory = PlatformFile("/custom/initial/path"),
    dialogSettings = FileKitDialogSettings.createDefault()
)
