Question

What is the best way to find a directory with a specific name in Java? The directory that I am looking for can be located either in the current directory or one of its subdi

Answer 1

Or, you should use the concept of Recursively search the file until it found: Here is the Code:

String name; //to hold the search file name

public String listFolder(File dir) {
    int flag;
    File[] subDirs = dir.listFiles(new FileFilter() {
        @Override
        public boolean accept(File pathname) {
            return pathname.isDirectory();
        }
    });
    System.out.println("File of Directory: " + dir.getAbsolutePath());
    flag = Listfile(dir);
    if (flag == 0) {
        System.out.println("File Found in THe Directory: " + dir.getAbsolutePath());
        Speak("File Found in THe Directory: !!" + dir.getAbsolutePath());
        return dir.getAbsolutePath();
    }
    for (File folder : subDirs) {
        listFolder(folder);
    }
    return null;
}

private int Listfile(File dir) {
    boolean ch = false;
    File[] files = dir.listFiles();
    for (File file : files) {
        Listfile(file);
        if (file.getName().indexOf(name.toLowerCase()) != -1) {//check all in lower case
            System.out.println(name + "Found Sucessfully!!");
            ch = true;

        }
    }
    if (ch) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}
