When using swing I am able to use FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(file) to get a awt Icon object from an exe file. I now need to use JavaFX, but am lost as to how to get an image I can display in an ImageView. Is there a way to convert the image or perhaps a similar method as getSystemIcon, but for javafx?

I'm new in JavaFX FrameWork.I want to Create a Frame that will open Pdf File inside the Frame.
My Question is,
Is there any way to open Desktop App Inside JavaFx Frame?
I'm new in JavaFX FrameWork.
I'm just starting from this place
Edit:
I know how to create Frame Using JavaFx .
Ref Link.
But I want to run a desktop Applications inside of it like Acrobat Reader.
Can anyone please explain this is possible or not?
Am I searching for a wrong thing for a long time? Please Explain me if it is possible or not.
I do not believe there is integrated PDF supported into either Java or JavaFX. There are however a number of external libraries such as jpedal that provide embeddable java components for the viewing of pdf documents. You should be able to embed this node within the javafx frame.
An alternative solution would be to parse the pdf file into something you can display in your jframe.
Another solution can be found here which even includes a simple guide on setup.
Another quick search revealed an open source solution:
maven-OpenViewerFX-src
Watch the youtube video here
A somewhat hackable workaround, if you want no external Java libraries
It is possible to display the PDF in the web viewer by utilizing pdf.js, See this website for the entire details . But in short it involves rendering the PDF in a webview component. You could then embed the webview component in your Jframe.
i need help. I tried to upload pdf file then the preview of the uploaded file will be shown on the pane. Right now, i'm using javafx and fxml. Any idea of how to do it?
Below is my interface.
the idea is, after i upload the pdf file, then on the left pane, the pdf file will be displayed.
Two ways i can think of
Using jpedal library (it has a free version that works for preview) https://www.idrsolutions.com/jpedal/
or you can add a javafx webview and display it using javascript library https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/
First off I am using Intellij IDEA's GUI tool.
I have a window that has a browse button, if the user clicks the browse button they can explore their computer for an image file. If they choose an Image file then the window will add that image to the screen next to the previous image, If the window just barely shows all the images and the user adds another one, I want the window to expand to be able to show the new image.
Does Java Swing have this capability? If so, how should I go about implementing it?
If you are using appropriate layout managers, you can simple call Window#pack.
You should also consider checking out How to use scroll panes, cause I have some very large images...
The other thing you can look at is the Scrollable interface
I don't know very much about Java (I know the basics). I want to create an Image Gallery with Netbeans, but I have absolutely no clue how to do this.
What I want to do:
The User should see all Images inside a specified folder (as thumbs) and should be able to view it in "original size" upon clicking on the Photo. Also (via a Button) he should be able to "transfer" an Image file to that folder.
So basically I have a database of misc. articles, each article has some Images in a unique folder on the Filesystem (eg. /images/art_01), I want to display all images within this folder and have the possibility to add (speaking, copying) new Images into this folder (there is no need to delete an Image) arranged, so it doesn't look too disgusting ;).
Since I just now the basics of Java, I qould appreciate if someone could help me, with something I can adapt directly into a JFrame - if that's possible.
Thanks ;)
With netbeans it's really easy, netbeans has a JFrame/JPanel drag&drop designer/gui builder (right click on package -> new -> JFrame form). After customizing the GUI you can make your main class extend your custom frame, or add a new custom panel to your JFrame, depending on whether you choose to make a JFrame or a JPanel.
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/quickstart-gui.html some details on how to use the netbeans gui builder.
With this builder you can also add events to the different components. If you want to view a directory use JFileChooser.
I see some Swing apps (like Eclipse) that load with a Welcome!/"splash" page. What kind of Swing component is this? Its sort of like a web page (like the old <imagemap>s!) embedded inside a Swing app and is very cool.
You could design the splash screen using an image editor, like Photoshop or GIMP. Save the image in a format that Java supports, like JPG, GIF, or PNG. Design the splash screen at a resolution that will work on low resolution devices like netbooks and projectors.
E.g. the Eclipse splash screen is ~450x300 pixels:
To display the image, you could use a JDialog whose border and close button have been hidden via setUndecorated(true). The JDialog could contain a single JLabel. Size both the JDialog and JLabel to be able to display the entire image. The JLabel's icon property should be set to the splash screen image.
You could display the splash screen for a fixed amount of time by employing Swing's Timer class. Consider allowing the user to optionally disable the splash screen so they don't always have to waste time watching it every time they start your program.
Or, rather than using a timer to display the splash screen for a fixed amount of time, you could consider hiding the splash screen as soon as the application has finished initializing. What "initializing the application" entails is specific to your application. This is the approach that Eclipse uses (its splash screen even has a progress bar).
Your question actually appears to be about the Eclipse "Welcome screen" (see screenshot below), not the Eclipse "splash screen". The Welcome Screen does include clickable areas. Java has some limited abilities to display HTML content. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/html.html for some details. Java's built in support for HTML is pretty limited, and so it may not meet your needs. Here is a guide that talks about using a read-only JEditorPane to display HTML content, and capturing hyperlink click events to perform custom actions:
http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Swing-Tutorial/Swing-Tutorial-JEditorPane.html
Checkout this tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/splashscreen.html
Its really easy to do. Just create a splash screen entry in your manifest file that points to an image resource in your jar file.
e.g.
SplashScreen-Image: resources/splash.png
The image can even have transparency, so you can make it appear to be non-rectangular.
