How to read all files in a folder from Java?

Answer 1

This will Read Specified file extension files in given path(looks sub folders also)

public static Map> getFileNames(String 
dirName,Map> filesContainer,final String fileExt){
    String dirPath = dirName;
    Listfiles = new ArrayList<>();
    Map> completeFiles = filesContainer; 
    if(completeFiles == null) {
        completeFiles = new HashMap<>();
    }
    File file = new File(dirName);

    FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() {
        @Override
        public boolean accept(File file) {
            boolean acceptFile = false;
            if(file.isDirectory()) {
                acceptFile = true;
            }else if (file.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(fileExt))
              {
                acceptFile = true;
              }
            return acceptFile;
        }
    };
    for(File dirfile : file.listFiles(fileFilter)) {
        if(dirfile.isFile() && 
dirfile.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(fileExt)) {
            files.add(dirfile);
        }else if(dirfile.isDirectory()) {
            if(!files.isEmpty()) {
                completeFiles.put(dirPath, files);  
            }

getFileNames(dirfile.getAbsolutePath(),completeFiles,fileExt);
        }
    }
    if(!files.isEmpty()) {
        completeFiles.put(dirPath, files);  
    }
    return completeFiles;
}
