problem with Filechooser

[Rani Vish]

Hi Friends ,

while using JFileChooer i have faced some difficulties ,actually it is very slow, it takes two or more minutes to open the JFileChooser Dialog
this is really very annoying ,Please Suggest what i have to do to open a new file ,instead of JFileChooser

Code is as follows...


[I]

private static JFileChooser fc;
 
public static String fileName;
 
public AymFileOpen(){

super();
 if (fc == null) 
 {
 fc = new JFileChooser();
 
 fc.showOpenDialog(this);
     
 fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new FileExtensionFilter());
            
 fc.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
 
 }
      
    int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(this);
 
    if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) 
    {
 
      File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
      
      fileName = file.getAbsolutePath();
               
    }
    fc.setSelectedFile(null);

  }

This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but the first "fc.showOpenDialog(this);" seems to be unnecessary, and may even be harmful.

Hi ... try this on your pc, here its runs immediatly, i've never heard of anything like "JFileChooser taking 2 minutes to run" before, maybe its something else, something wrong with the pc maybe ... please try this and let us know, and you can always use scanner or input streams to read from a file, if you dont need the GUI

   
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
import java.io.File;
 
public class JFileChooserTest {

public static void main(String args[]){
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.showOpenDialog(null);
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
System.out.printf("%s", file);
}
 
}
