Does anyone have any experience with swing's JFileChooser? I'm making a map maker so that I can have an easier time making the maps for the game I'm working on. All is working fine, except I have to hard-code the files to open. Does anyone know how to create and open a JFileChooser window and save the selected file to a String/File? I seem to be hopelessly lost after a few hours of googling with no success.
Edit: Well I've got a chooser to come up now, but can't figure out how to get a FileFilter working. If anyone happens to know, I'd be happy to hear how.
Further edit: This is my attempt, but it tells me it "cannot be applied to given types; required: javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter; found: <anonymous java.io.FileFilter>;"
I don't see how I can make it make a swing.filechooser FileFilter and not an io FileFilter.
public class loadButton extends clickableButton
{
public void mouseClickAction()
{
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
Frame fcframe = new Frame();
fc.setFileFilter(new FileFilter()
{ public boolean accept(File f)
{
if(f.isDirectory()) return true;
String[] extension = {".ethrmap", ".txt"};
for(int i = 0; i < extension.length; i++)
{
if(f.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(extension[i])) return true;
}
return false;
}
});
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(fcframe);
if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
{
File selFile = fc.getSelectedFile();
System.out.println(selFile.toString());
}
}
}
