I have JFileChooser
and I need it to show only the folders, however I can only display at least one file type or show all types.
Here is sample code where I make the restriction for a file type:
package NewClass;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileNameExtensionFilter;
public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public NewJFrame() {
initComponents();
FileNameExtensionFilter fileFilter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("PDF", "pdf");
jFileChooser1.setFileFilter(fileFilter);
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">
private void initComponents() {
jFileChooser1 = new javax.swing.JFileChooser();
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());
getContentPane().setLayout(layout);
layout.setHorizontalGroup(
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addComponent(jFileChooser1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 600, Short.MAX_VALUE)
);
layout.setVerticalGroup(
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.TRAILING, layout.createSequentialGroup()
.addComponent(jFileChooser1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 400, Short.MAX_VALUE)
.addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE))
);
pack();
}// </editor-fold>
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
break;
}
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (InstantiationException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new NewJFrame().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
// Variables declaration - do not modify
private javax.swing.JFileChooser jFileChooser1;
// End of variables declaration
}
In this example I restricted the view to only pdf files.
Code where I show all file types:
package NewClass;
public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public NewJFrame() {
initComponents();
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Generated Code">
private void initComponents() {
jFileChooser1 = new javax.swing.JFileChooser();
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane());
getContentPane().setLayout(layout);
layout.setHorizontalGroup(
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addComponent(jFileChooser1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 600, Short.MAX_VALUE)
);
layout.setVerticalGroup(
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.TRAILING, layout.createSequentialGroup()
.addComponent(jFileChooser1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 400, Short.MAX_VALUE)
.addGap(0, 0, Short.MAX_VALUE))
);
pack();
}// </editor-fold>
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
break;
}
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (InstantiationException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(NewJFrame.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new NewJFrame().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
// Variables declaration - do not modify
private javax.swing.JFileChooser jFileChooser1;
// End of variables declaration
}
In this example I did not make any restrictions.
