我发现了一个更好的方法来找到扩展混合以上所有的答案

public static String getFileExtension(String fileLink) {

        String extension;
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(fileLink);
        String scheme = uri.getScheme();
        if (scheme != null && scheme.equals(ContentResolver.SCHEME_CONTENT)) {
            MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
            extension = mime.getExtensionFromMimeType(CoreApp.getInstance().getContentResolver().getType(uri));
        } else {
            extension = MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(fileLink);
        }

        return extension;
    }

public static String getMimeType(String fileLink) {
        String type = CoreApp.getInstance().getContentResolver().getType(Uri.parse(fileLink));
        if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(type)) return type;
        MimeTypeMap mime = MimeTypeMap.getSingleton();
        return mime.getMimeTypeFromExtension(FileChooserUtil.getFileExtension(fileLink));
    }

如果你计划使用Apache common -io，只是想检查文件的扩展名，然后做一些操作，你可以使用这个，这里是一个片段:

if(FilenameUtils.isExtension(file.getName(),"java")) {
    someoperation();
}

如果使用Guava库，可以求助于Files实用程序类。它有一个特定的方法getFileExtension()。例如:

String path = "c:/path/to/file/foo.txt";
String ext = Files.getFileExtension(path);
System.out.println(ext); //prints txt

另外，你也可以用类似的函数getNameWithoutExtension()获取文件名:

String filename = Files.getNameWithoutExtension(path);
System.out.println(filename); //prints foo

从文件名获取文件扩展名

private static final char EXTENSION_SEPARATOR = '.';

    }
    int index = indexOfExtension(filename);
    if (index == -1) {
        return "";
    } else {
        return filename.substring(index + 1);
    }
}

学分

复制自Apache FileNameUtils Class - http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/commons-io/commons-io/1.3.2/org/apache/commons/io/FilenameUtils.java#FilenameUtils.getExtension%28java.lang.String%29

// Modified from EboMike's answer

String extension = "/path/to/file/foo.txt".substring("/path/to/file/foo.txt".lastIndexOf('.'));

扩展应该有“.txt”在它运行时。

如何(使用Java 1.5 RegEx):

    String[] split = fullFileName.split("\\.");
    String ext = split[split.length - 1];
