Peek around in the java.io.File API. There are at least three methods which may be of use:

• listFiles()
• isDirectory()
• isFile()

You could try

File directory = new File("<Path to directory>");

String [] directoryContents = directory.list();

List<String> fileLocations = new ArrayList<String>();

for(String fileName: directoryContents) {
    File temp = new File(String.valueOf(directory),fileName);
    fileLocations.add(String.valueOf(temp));
}

Check out File.list()
