I am new to Java progamming and am building a application that will add, display and remove files from a given folder location.
I have added files using JFileChooser and know how to delete the files. However I am stuck with the display portion.
I want to display the files and folder using different icon inside my application. I tried to add a JFileChooser inside the display panel and disable the button and menu components of the dialog box, but I have not succeeded. Is there any better way to do this?
I prefer the following way.
JFileChooser chooser= new JFileChooser();
int choice = choose.showOpenDialog();
if (choice != JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) return;
File chosenFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
// You can then do whatever you want with the file.
Calling this code will cause a JFileChooser
to popup in its own window.
I usually call it from within a JButton
's ActionListener
code.
fileChooseButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
// File chooser code goes here usually
}
});
