Hi everyone,
I am creating an application which includes a tree explorer similar to the windows explorer. I want to add the all the system disk drives to the root (My Computer). I m facing problems..
Can anyone help me out by suggesting how should i proceed or can give me the code for the same. Remember I need to explore all the dirs and files in the system...
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
neha
Problems you face
1. How to get the operating system to give up the names of all mounting points that it knows about. This will not be the same from operating system to operating system.
2. How to read a file system from mounting point to terminus (This is easy but if you try to do the whole thing at once it's going to be time consuming and suck up a lot of memory).
3. How to put that into a viewable form that people can understand (A tree view is the obvious choice but that has hurdles of its own for you to get over.
Now all of that said, if what you're really after is to be able to in a platform agnostic manner brows the file system to say for example to load a file and provide a handy graphic means for your user to do that. You're actually talking about half a dozen lines of very simple code.
PS.
This will give you drive names
File c[]=new File("").listRoots();
for (int i = 0; i < c.length; i++)
System.out.println("\t" + c[i]);
