Getting the number of files in a folder in java [duplicate]

Question

I'm making a basic file browser and want to know how to get the number of files in any given directory (necessary for the for loops that add the files to the tree and table)

From javadocs:

You can use:

new File("/path/to/folder").listFiles().length
