jfilechooser

A typical way to use JFileChooser includes checking whether user clicked OK, like in this code: private void addModelButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) { JFileChooser modelChooser = new JFileChooser(); if(modelChooser.showOpenDialog(this) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION ){ File selectedFile = modelChooser.getSelectedFile(); if(verifyModelFile(selectedFile)){ MetModel newModel; newModel = parser.parse(selectedFile, editedCollection.getDirectory() ); this.editedCollection.addModel(newModel); this.modelListUpdate(); } } } I tried to mimic this behavior in my own window inheriting

I need to know which of the 3 is best for me. My requirements are as follows in order of importance: Save and load files with ease. File type filter during file selection (not afterwards). Look and feel is exactly the same as the native OS L&F. If there is a dialog that I've not mentioned that would be more ideal, please let me know. What is the rest of your application written in? If you used AWT you should use FileDialog . If you used Swing you should use JFileChooser . Both classes meet all of your requirements. (A JDialog is simply an empty window, you can only use it to open files if you

Right now, I have a set class path, but I want to have an open file pop up and the user chooses which file to open. I've tried JFileChooser, but haven't been successful so far. Here's my code: public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(); int returnValue = chooser.showOpenDialog( null ) ; if( returnValue == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION ) { File file = chooser.getSelectedFile() ; } // I don't want this to be hard-coded: String filePath = "/Users/Bill/Desktop/hello.txt"; How should I go about doing this? I think the problem is the scope of

A recent question asked: How can I start the JFileChooser in the Details view? and the answer provided a nice technique for doing that. I'd like to raise the aspiration here one level: given that I now know how to open the JFileChooser in details view, can I also get it to open with the files ordered by date? I know the user can of course click on the headings, but is there a way to make this happen in the code? I don't know of any API to do this. The following code finds the table used by the file chooser and then manually does the sort on the date column: JFrame frame = new JFrame();

Search doesn't turn anything up for this problem. I'm using simple code to display a JFileChooser dialog with customized title and accept button: JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(); fc.showDialog(null,"MyText"); On Windows 7 this works as expected: a Save Dialog is displayed, with "Save" replaced by "MyText" on the Accept button and dialog title. However, on Mac OS X, only the Accept button text is changed - the dialog title is blank. I'm using Java SE 7 and MacOS 10.8.5. By inserting this line between the two above: fc.setDialogTitle("MyText"); The correct title is displayed. Is this a

I have a problem with the JFileChooser under Ubuntu 12.04. I use this code to set the look and feel: javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(javax.swing.UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); And it looks like this. It's very uncomfortable to use and it looks very ugly: http://www9.picfront.org/token/9sRH/2012/05/15/2062476.jpg I would like it to look like this: http://www4.picfront.org/token/1lpa/2012/05/15/2062477.jpg Using the hint from this post , I tried to use FileDialog instead of the FileChooser . But FileDialog throws an exception when i start it in LOAD mode and click on the "open"
