mulitple file selection using JFileChooser problem

[seema prakash]

I have written an ActionListner for a Jbutton to choose mutiple files using JFileChooser and print the file name. I am able to make it work on single file selection , but having problems on multiple selection. Please help.

The code is as given below

class MyButtonListener implements ActionListener{
    
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
        //Create a file chooser
        final JFileChooser fileDialog = new JFileChooser();
        String filenames = "";
        String fileName = "";
        //In response to a button click:
        int option = fileDialog.showOpenDialog(null);
        //to select mulitple files
        fileDialog.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
        
        if(option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) 
        {
            File file1 = fileDialog.getSelectedFile();
            fileName = file1.getName();
            System.out.println(fileName); 
            if(fileDialog.isMultiSelectionEnabled())
            {
              //  File[] files = getSelectedFiles(fileDialog);
                final File[] files = fileDialog.getSelectedFiles();
                if (files != null && files.length > 0){
                for (int x = 0; x < files.length; x++)
                { 
                   filenames = filenames + "\n" + files[x].getName();
                }//end of for loop
                System.out.println("You have selected these files:\n" +filenames);
                }
            }
         } else if (option == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION){
             System.out.println(" User cancelled operation. No file was chosen.");  
         } 
    }//end of action performed
}//end of ActionListener class

I think you have to set this property before showing the dialog.
Otherwise, it would already have defaulted while opening the dialog and hence no effect.

fileDialog.setMultiSelectionEnabled(true);
int option = fileDialog.showOpenDialog(null);
