You can create file and use getAbsolutePath method:

File file = new File("TestFile.txt");//full file path URL
String absolutePath = file.getAbsolutePath();

Here is the simple programme:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    File f = null;
    String path = "";
    boolean bool = false;
    try {
        // create new files
        f = new File("test.txt");
        // returns true if the file exists
        bool = f.exists();
        // if file exists
        if (bool) {
            // get absolute path
            path = f.getAbsolutePath();
            // prints
            System.out.print("Absolute Pathname " + path);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // if any error occurs
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
