JFileChooser returns incorrect path in OS X (folders only mode)
- by Virat Kadaru
I have a problem in java swing where the user has to select a folder, so I am using the code below.
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
if(fc.showDialog(singleton, SELECT) == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File folder = fc.getSelectedFile();
String path = folder.getPath() + File.separatorChar + MYAPPFOLDER;
}
Now there are 2 ways a user may select the folder
Navigate to the folder and select the folder
Navigate to the folder, go into the folder, and click select
Both ways work fine on windows but on OS X, I get
If I do 1 : path = Users/<username>/Desktop/MYAPPFOLDER
If I do 2 : path = Users/<username>/Desktop/Desktop/MYAPPFOLDER
How do I avoid this 2nd case?
Thanks in advance.
