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 confirmed solution is quite old and even though it works for this particular case it is far more convenient to use URLDecoder, because %20 is only one encoded character, but in your path there can be whole lot of different encoded characters.

fileLocation = URLDecoder.decode(Main.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath(), "UTF-8");
