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。

为了考虑圆点前没有字符的文件名，你必须使用接受答案的轻微变化:

String extension = "";

int i = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
if (i >= 0) {
    extension = fileName.substring(i+1);
}

"file.doc" => "doc"
"file.doc.gz" => "gz"
".doc" => "doc"

流利的方式:

fileExtension(String fileName) { 返回Optional.of (fileName.lastIndexOf(“。”))。过滤器(i-> i >= 0) .filter(i-> i > fileName.lastIndexOf(File.separator)) . map(文件名::substring) .orElse (" "); ｝

String extension = com.google.common.io.Files.getFileExtension("fileName.jpg");

从文件名获取文件扩展名

如果在Android上，你可以使用这个:

String ext = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(file.getName());
