How to Filter Filetypes using File Extensions in JFileChooser - Java File Chooser

Screenshot of following example java program

In java, to browse files or folders from the file system, we use the JFileChooser class. You can use  the JFileChooser object in two modes, save mode or open mode. Here we discuss about filtering file type by file extensions for opening the file. By default, the JFileChooser object will have an AcceptAllFileFilter. This file filter will allow the user to select file of any file type. The file filter will display text All files. If you want to restrict the file chooser to open only one type of file, you should first remove the AcceptAllFileFilter. To do this, call the following method:

myfilechooser.removeChoosableFileFilter(createoropenchooser.getAcceptAllFileFilter());
