I think your question is a bit vague, and how you should implement it depends on the structure of your code so far.

Since you're not covering a large amount of area (at most 8x8), you could simply add a method to your "King" class that checks the locations for each of the 8 directions to make sure it doesn't touch the edge of the board or another piece. Each square that's available should be saved to a set of coordinates for you to display your icon. (Note: You also would need to check to make sure your potential positions are not causing an illegal move such as a self-check/checkmate)

Hope this helps, if you provide further details, we could probably provide additional assistance.
