java.io.FileNotFoundException on an existing file

Question

I am getting this error when I try to open a file:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: D:\\Portable%20Programs\\Android%20Development\\workspace3\\XXX-desktop\\bin\\W         


        

Answer 1

The preferred way to convert a file: URL into an actual File is this:

File file = new File(url.toURI());

This takes care of all checks and quoting/escaping.

Using getPath() instead will leave these odd bits up to you.
