Calculate directory size

      
import java.io.File;
import org.apache.rumons.io.FileUtils;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    long size = FileUtils.sizeOfDirectory(new File("C:/Windows"));
    System.out.println("Size: " + size + " bytes");
  }
}





Check if a directory is not empty

     
import java.io.File;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    File file = new File("/data");
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
      String[] files = file.list();

        System.out.println("The " + file.getPath() + " is not empty!");
      }
    }
  }
}





Copying a Directory: Copies files under srcDir to dstDir, if dstDir does not exist, it will be created.

     
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {

        dstDir.mkdir();
      }
      String[] children = srcDir.list();
      for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
        copyDirectory(new File(srcDir, children[i]), new File(dstDir, children[i]));
      }
    } else {
      copyFile(srcDir, dstDir);

  public static void copyFile(File src, File dst) throws IOException {
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dst);
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
      out.write(buf, 0, len);
    }
    in.close();
    out.close();
  }
}





Count files in a directory (including files in all subdirectories)

 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

  /**
   * Count files in a directory (including files in all subdirectories)
   * @param directory the directory to start in
   * @return the total number of files
   */

          }
          if (file.isDirectory()) {
              count += countFilesInDirectory(file);
          }
      }
      return count;
  }
}





Create a directories recursively

      
 
import java.io.File;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String directories = "D:\\a\\b\\c\\d\\e\\f\\g\\h\\i";
    File file = new File(directories);
    boolean result = file.mkdirs();
    System.out.println("Status = " + result);
  }
}





Create a unique directory within a directory "root"

 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Utils {
  /**
   * Create a unique directory within a directory "root"
   * 
   * @param rootDir
   * @param seed
   * @return unique directory
   * @throws IOException
   */
  public static synchronized File createUniqueDirectory(File rootDir, String seed) throws IOException {
      int index = seed.lastIndexOf(".");
      if (index > 0) {
          seed = seed.substring(0, index);
      }
      File result = null;
      int count = 0;
      while (result == null) {
          String name = seed + "." + count + ".tmp";
          File file = new File(rootDir, name);
          if (!file.exists()) {
              file.mkdirs();
              result = file;
          }
          count++;
      }
      return result;
  }
}





Create directory

      
import java.io.File;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    File dir = new File("C:/FileIO/DemoDirectory");
    boolean isDirectoryCreated = dir.mkdir();
    if (isDirectoryCreated) {
      System.out.println("successfully");
    } else {
      System.out.println("not");
    }
  }
}





Create directory along with required nonexistent parent directories

      
import java.io.File;
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    File dir = new File("C:/1/Parent1/Parent2/DemoDir");
    boolean isDirCreated = dir.mkdirs();
    if (isDirCreated)
      System.out.println("created");
    else
      System.out.println("Failed");
  }
}





Create directory tree (nested/cascade folders)

      
import java.io.File;
public class MainClass{
  
  public static void main(String[] a){
    new File("c:\\a\\b\\c\\d\\e").mkdirs();
  }
}





Creates and displays a window containing a list of files and sub-directories in a specified directory

Traversing only files under dir

use list( ) to examine the contents of a directory:
