I want to restrict a JFileChooser to select only mp3 files. But, the following code allows all file types:

FileFilter filter = new FileNameExten

This code snippet may help you:

JFileChooser jfc=new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir","."));

FileFilter ff = new FileFilter(){
    public boolean accept(File f){
        if(f.isDirectory()) return true;
        else if(f.getName().endsWith(".mp3")) return true;
            else return false;
    }
    public String getDescription(){
        return "MP3 files";
    }
};

jfc.removeChoosableFileFilter(jfc.getAcceptAllFileFilter());
jfc.setFileFilter(ff);

if(jfc.showDialog(frame,"openG")==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
        String fileName = jfc.getSelectedFile().getPath();
}
