jfilechooser - set directory to a path in a file

Question

I am trying to set the directory path in JFilechooser through something like this(using commons-io ) :

String fileContents = IOUtils.toString(new FileInputStream         


        

Answer 1

For select the last directory that you open :

chooser.setCurrentDirectory(lastDirectory);

int r = chooser.showOpenDialog(new JPanel());

if (r == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
   fileName = chooser.getSelectedFile().getPath();
   lastDirectory = chooser.getSelectedFile();
}
