Java 8 Files.walk(..)很好，当你感到痛苦时，它不会抛出避免Java 8 Files.walk(..)终止原因(Java .nio.file. accessdeniedexception)。

这里有一个安全的解决方案，虽然没有Java 8Files.walk(..)那么优雅:

int[] count = {0};
try {
    Files.walkFileTree(Paths.get(dir.getPath()), new HashSet<FileVisitOption>(Arrays.asList(FileVisitOption.FOLLOW_LINKS)),
            Integer.MAX_VALUE, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
                @Override
                public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file , BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
                    System.out.printf("Visiting file %s\n", file);
                    ++count[0];

                    return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
                }

                @Override
                public FileVisitResult visitFileFailed(Path file , IOException e) throws IOException {
                    System.err.printf("Visiting failed for %s\n", file);

                    return FileVisitResult.SKIP_SUBTREE;
                }

                @Override
                public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path dir , BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
                     System.out.printf("About to visit directory %s\n", dir);
                    return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
                }
            });
} catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

java.io.FileFilter的用法很好，见https://stackoverflow.com/a/286001/146745

File fl = new File(dir);
File[] files = fl.listFiles(new FileFilter() {          
    public boolean accept(File file) {
        return file.isFile();
    }
});

给定一个baseDir，列出它下面的所有文件和目录，迭代编写。

    public static List<File> listLocalFilesAndDirsAllLevels(File baseDir) {

    List<File>  collectedFilesAndDirs   = new ArrayList<>();
    Deque<File> remainingDirs           = new ArrayDeque<>();

    if(baseDir.exists()) {
        remainingDirs.add(baseDir);

        while(!remainingDirs.isEmpty()) {
            File dir = remainingDirs.removeLast();
            List<File> filesInDir = Arrays.asList(dir.listFiles());
            for(File fileOrDir : filesInDir)  {
                collectedFilesAndDirs.add(fileOrDir);
                if(fileOrDir.isDirectory()) {
                    remainingDirs.add(fileOrDir);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return collectedFilesAndDirs;
}

import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class AvoidNullExp {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    List<File> fileList =new ArrayList<>();
     final File folder = new File("g:/master");
     new AvoidNullExp().listFilesForFolder(folder, fileList);
}

    public void listFilesForFolder(final File folder,List<File> fileList) {
        File[] filesInFolder = folder.listFiles();
        if (filesInFolder != null) {
            for (final File fileEntry : filesInFolder) {
                if (fileEntry.isDirectory()) {
                    System.out.println("DIR : "+fileEntry.getName());
                listFilesForFolder(fileEntry,fileList);
            } else {
                System.out.println("FILE : "+fileEntry.getName());
                fileList.add(fileEntry);
            }
         }
        }
     }


}

import java.io.File;


public class ReadFilesFromFolder {
  public static File folder = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/Downloads");
  static String temp = "";

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    System.out.println("Reading files under the folder "+ folder.getAbsolutePath());
    listFilesForFolder(folder);
  }

  public static void listFilesForFolder(final File folder) {

    for (final File fileEntry : folder.listFiles()) {
      if (fileEntry.isDirectory()) {
        // System.out.println("Reading files under the folder "+folder.getAbsolutePath());
        listFilesForFolder(fileEntry);
      } else {
        if (fileEntry.isFile()) {
          temp = fileEntry.getName();
          if ((temp.substring(temp.lastIndexOf('.') + 1, temp.length()).toLowerCase()).equals("txt"))
            System.out.println("File= " + folder.getAbsolutePath()+ "\\" + fileEntry.getName());
        }

      }
    }
  }
}

在Java 8中，你可以这样做

Files.walk(Paths.get("/path/to/folder"))
     .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
     .forEach(System.out::println);

它将打印文件夹中的所有文件，同时排除所有目录。如果你需要一个列表，下面的方法可以做到:

Files.walk(Paths.get("/path/to/folder"))
     .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
     .collect(Collectors.toList())

如果你想返回List<File>而不是List<Path>，只需映射它:

List<File> filesInFolder = Files.walk(Paths.get("/path/to/folder"))
                                .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
                                .map(Path::toFile)
                                .collect(Collectors.toList());

您还需要确保关闭流!否则，您可能会遇到一个异常，告诉您打开的文件太多。阅读这里了解更多信息。
