Get file full path in java

Question

When I pass File file to a method I\'m trying to get its full path like file.getAbsolutePath(); I always get the same result no matter which one I use

Answer 1

I think there is a way it may help you if and only if the file is in the program directory.

first you get the program directory by :

new File(".").getCanonicalPath()

then :

if file is inside a specific directory like folder\\filename the full path will be

(new File(".").getCanonicalPath() + "\\folder\\filename")

or if file is directly inside the program directory: the full path will be

(new File(".").getCanonicalPath() + "\\filename")

i wish this answer help you :)
