Getting the filenames of all files in a folder

Question

I need to create a list with all names of the files in a folder.

For example, if I have:

000.jpg

012.jpg

013.jpg

I want to store them in a ArrayList with [000,012,013] as values.

What's the best way to do it in Java ?

PS: I'm on Mac OS X

You can try:

File folder = new File("your/path");

File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();

for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) {

  if (listOfFiles[i].isFile()) {

    System.out.println("File " + listOfFiles[i].getName());

  } else if (listOfFiles[i].isDirectory()) {

    System.out.println("Directory " + listOfFiles[i].getName());

  }

}
