How to get directory path using JFileChooser?

I have a small java GUI application with a text field on it. When the user clicks the text field an event is triggered and the JFileChooser is launched. It's 开发者_Go百科restricted to directories only.

What I'm trying to do is to get the full path of the directory that was chosen and put it in the text field.

I have no idea how to do this, I've searched through a ton of java tutorials and documentations and I can't find an answer. Can someone help me?

To clarify: I want to get the full path as a string and put it in the text field, overwriting anything that was there before.

Try something like

myTextField.setText(myFileChooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());

What you are doing there is retrieving the File object from the file chooser, then grabbing its path and throwing it into the text field.

Check out the JFileChooser.getCurrentDirectory() function:
