Question

How do I find the last modified file in a directory in java?

Answer 1

Combine these two:

1. You can get the last modified time of a File using File.lastModified().
2. To list all of the files in a directory, use File.listFiles().

Note that in Java the java.io.File object is used for both directories and files.
