Get java.nio.file.Path object from java.io.File

Question

Is it possible to get a Path object from a java.io.File?

I know you can convert a path to a file using toFile() method, but I couldn\'t fin

Answer 1

From the documentation:

Paths associated with the default provider are generally interoperable with the java.io.File class. Paths created by other providers are unlikely to be interoperable with the abstract path names represented by java.io.File. The toPath method may be used to obtain a Path from the abstract path name represented by a java.io.File object. The resulting Path can be used to operate on the same file as the java.io.File object. In addition, the toFile method is useful to construct a File from the String representation of a Path.

(emphasis mine)

So, for toFile:

Returns a File object representing this path.

And toPath:

Returns a java.nio.file.Path object constructed from the this abstract path.
