从所有其他答案中可以明显看出，没有足够的“内置”函数。这是一种安全简单的方法。

String getFileExtension(File file) {
    if (file == null) {
        return "";
    }
    String name = file.getName();
    int i = name.lastIndexOf('.');
    String ext = i > 0 ? name.substring(i + 1) : "";
    return ext;
}

你真的需要一个“解析器”吗?

String extension = "";

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

假设您正在处理简单的类似windows的文件名，而不是像archive.tar.gz这样的文件名。

顺便说一下，对于目录可能有一个'。'，但文件名本身没有(像/path/to.a/file)，你可以这样做

String extension = "";

int i = fileName.lastIndexOf('.');
int p = Math.max(fileName.lastIndexOf('/'), fileName.lastIndexOf('\\'));

if (i > p) {
    extension = fileName.substring(i+1);
}

从文件名获取文件扩展名

/**
 * The extension separator character.
 */
private static final char EXTENSION_SEPARATOR = '.';

/**
 * The Unix separator character.
 */
private static final char UNIX_SEPARATOR = '/';

/**
 * The Windows separator character.
 */
private static final char WINDOWS_SEPARATOR = '\\';

/**
 * The system separator character.
 */
private static final char SYSTEM_SEPARATOR = File.separatorChar;

/**

 * <p>
 * This method returns the textual part of the filename after the last dot.

public static String getExtension(String filename) {
    if (filename == null) {
        return null;
    }
    int index = indexOfExtension(filename);
    if (index == -1) {
        return "";
    } else {
        return filename.substring(index + 1);
    }
}

/**

    }
    int extensionPos = filename.lastIndexOf(EXTENSION_SEPARATOR);
    int lastSeparator = indexOfLastSeparator(filename);
    return (lastSeparator > extensionPos ? -1 : extensionPos);
}

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

试试这个。

String[] extension = "adadad.adad.adnandad.jpg".split("\\.(?=[^\\.]+$)"); // ['adadad.adad.adnandad','jpg']
extension[1] // jpg

在不使用任何库的情况下，你可以使用String方法，如下所示:

        String[] splits = fileNames.get(i).split("\\.");

        String extension = "";

        if(splits.length >= 2)
        {
            extension = splits[splits.length-1];
        }

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