How can I get the absolute path of a directory using JFileChooser, just selecting the directory?
Try:
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
String fullPath = file.getAbsolutePath();
System.out.println(fullPath);
fullPath gives you the required Absolute path of the Selected directory
Use:
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
//or
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
together with:
chooser.getCurrentDirectory()
//or
chooser.getSelectedFile();
then call getAbsoluteFile()
on the File
object returned.
JFileChooser
's getSelectedFile()
method, returns a File
object.
Use the getAbsolutePath()
to get the absolute name to the file.
modified example from the javadoc:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(parent);
if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
System.out.println("You chose to open this directory: " +
chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
}
