How to check if file is Hidden in java
To check if file is hidden in java, we use java.io.File API’s isHidden() method. In this post we will see example of how we use isHidden method in code.
Example : Check If File is Hidden
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | package com.kscodes.sampleproject; import java.io.File; public class FileHiddenExample { public static void main(String[] args) { File file = new File("C:\\kscodes\\work\\test.txt"); if(file.isHidden()){ System.out.println("File test.txt is marked as Hidden"); }else{ System.out.println("File test.txt is NOT Hidden"); } } } |
Please Note
File.isHidden() works differently on windows and unix.
