public class JFileChooser extends JComponent implements Accessible
JFileChooser
provides a simple mechanism for the user to choose a file. For information about usingJFileChooser
, see How to Use File Choosers, a section in The Java Tutorial.The following code pops up a file chooser for the user's home directory that sees only .jpg and .gif images:
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(); FileNameExtensionFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter( "JPG & GIF Images", "jpg", "gif"); chooser.setFileFilter(filter); int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(parent); if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) { System.out.println("You chose to open this file: " + chooser.getSelectedFile().getName()); }

JFileChooser
public JFileChooser()
Constructs aJFileChooser
pointing to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix.
-
JFileChooser
public JFileChooser(String currentDirectoryPath)
Constructs aJFileChooser
using the given path. Passing in anull
string causes the file chooser to point to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix.- Parameters:
currentDirectoryPath
- aString
giving the path to a file or directory
-
JFileChooser
public JFileChooser(File currentDirectory)
Constructs aJFileChooser
using the givenFile
as the path. Passing in anull
file causes the file chooser to point to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix.- Parameters:
currentDirectory
- aFile
object specifying the path to a file or directory

Method Detail
-
setup
protected void setup(FileSystemView view)
Performs common constructor initialization and setup.
-
setDragEnabled
public void setDragEnabled(boolean b)
Sets thedragEnabled
property, which must betrue
to enable automatic drag handling (the first part of drag and drop) on this component. ThetransferHandler
property needs to be set to a non-null
value for the drag to do anything. The default value of thedragEnabled
property isfalse
.When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels begin a drag-and-drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over an item and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to
true
can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.Some look and feels might not support automatic drag and drop; they will ignore this property. You can work around such look and feels by modifying the component to directly call the
exportAsDrag
method of aTransferHandler
.- Parameters:
b
- the value to set thedragEnabled
property to- Throws:
HeadlessException
- ifb

property.- Returns:
- the value of the
dragEnabled
property - Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
setDragEnabled(boolean)
-
getSelectedFile
public File getSelectedFile()
Returns the selected file. This can be set either by the programmer viasetSelectedFile
or by a user action, such as either typing the filename into the UI or selecting the file from a list in the UI.- Returns:
- the selected file
- See Also:
setSelectedFile(java.io.File)
-
setSelectedFile
public void setSelectedFile(File file)
Sets the selected file. If the file's parent directory is not the current directory, changes the current directory to be the file's parent directory.- Parameters:
file
- the selected file- See Also:
getSelectedFile()
-
getSelectedFiles
public File[] getSelectedFiles()
Returns a list of selected files if the file chooser is set to allow multiple selection.
-
setSelectedFiles
public void setSelectedFiles(File[] selectedFiles)
Sets the list of selected files if the file chooser is set to allow multiple selection.
-
getCurrentDirectory
public File getCurrentDirectory()
Returns the current directory.- Returns:
- the current directory
- See Also:
setCurrentDirectory(java.io.File)
-
setCurrentDirectory
public void setCurrentDirectory(File dir)
Sets the current directory. Passing innull
sets the file chooser to point to the user's default directory. This default depends on the operating system. It is typically the "My Documents" folder on Windows, and the user's home directory on Unix. If the file passed in ascurrentDirectory
is not a directory, the parent of the file will be used as the currentDirectory. If the parent is not traversable, then it will walk up the parent tree until it finds a traversable directory, or hits the root of the file system.- Parameters:
dir
- the current directory to point to- See Also:
getCurrentDirectory()
-
changeToParentDirectory
public void changeToParentDirectory()
Changes the directory to be set to the parent of the current directory.- See Also:
getCurrentDirectory()
-
rescanCurrentDirectory
public void rescanCurrentDirectory()
Tells the UI to rescan its files list from the current directory.
-
ensureFileIsVisible
public void ensureFileIsVisible(File f)
Makes sure that the specified file is viewable, and not hidden.- Parameters:
f
- a File object
-
showOpenDialog
public int showOpenDialog(Component parent) throws HeadlessException
Pops up an "Open File" file chooser dialog. Note that the text that appears in the approve button is determined by the L&F.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent component of the dialog, can benull
; seeshowDialog
for details- Returns:
- the return state of the file chooser on popdown:
- JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION
- JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION
- JFileChooser.ERROR_OPTION if an error occurs or the dialog is dismissed
- Throws:
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true.- See Also:
GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()
,showDialog(java.awt.Component, java.lang.String)
-
showSaveDialog
public int showSaveDialog(Component parent) throws HeadlessException
Pops up a "Save File" file chooser dialog. Note that the text that appears in the approve button is determined by the L&F.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent component of the dialog, can benull
; seeshowDialog
for details- Returns:
- the return state of the file chooser on popdown:
- JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION
- JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION
- JFileChooser.ERROR_OPTION if an error occurs or the dialog is dismissed
- Throws:
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true.- See Also:
GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()
,showDialog(java.awt.Component, java.lang.String)
-
showDialog
public int showDialog(Component parent, String approveButtonText) throws HeadlessException
Pops a custom file chooser dialog with a custom approve button. For example, the following code pops up a file chooser with a "Run Application" button (instead of the normal "Save" or "Open" button):filechooser.showDialog(parentFrame, "Run Application");
Alternatively, the following code does the same thing:JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(null); chooser.setApproveButtonText("Run Application"); chooser.showDialog(parentFrame, null);
The
parent
argument determines two things: the frame on which the open dialog depends and the component whose position the look and feel should consider when placing the dialog. If the parent is aFrame
object (such as aJFrame
) then the dialog depends on the frame and the look and feel positions the dialog relative to the frame (for example, centered over the frame). If the parent is a component, then the dialog depends on the frame containing the component, and is positioned relative to the component (for example, centered over the component). If the parent isnull
, then the dialog depends on no visible window, and it's placed in a look-and-feel-dependent position such as the center of the screen.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent component of the dialog; can benull
approveButtonText
- the text of theApproveButton
- Returns:
- the return state of the file chooser on popdown:
- JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION
- JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION
- JFileChooser.ERROR_OPTION if an error occurs or the dialog is dismissed
- Throws:
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true.- See Also:
GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()
-
createDialog
protected JDialog createDialog(Component parent) throws HeadlessException
Creates and returns a newJDialog
wrappingthis
centered on theparent
in theparent
's frame. This method can be overriden to further manipulate the dialog, to disable resizing, set the location, etc. Example:class MyFileChooser extends JFileChooser { protected JDialog createDialog(Component parent) throws HeadlessException { JDialog dialog = super.createDialog(parent); dialog.setLocation(300, 200); dialog.setResizable(false); return dialog; } }
- Parameters:
parent
- the parent component of the dialog; can benull
- Returns:
- a new
JDialog
containing this instance - Throws:
HeadlessException
- if GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless() returns true.- Since:
