How to read all files in a folder from Java?

Answer 1

Simple example that works with Java 1.7 to recursively list files in directories specified on the command-line:

import java.io.File;

public class List {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (String f : args) {
            listDir(f);
        }
    }

    private static void listDir(String dir) {
        File f = new File(dir);
        File[] list = f.listFiles();

        if (list == null) {
            return;
        }

        for (File entry : list) {
            System.out.println(entry.getName());
            if (entry.isDirectory()) {
                listDir(entry.getAbsolutePath());
            }
        }
    }
}
