Files.readAttributes() in Java NIO
Reads the attribute of a file and initializes the BasicFileAttributes. We need to provide path and BasicFileAttributes class. It returns BasicFileAttributes object to access the file time.BasicFileAttributes.creationTime() in Java NIO
We need to pass the file path, and it will return FileTime and we get the file creation time.BasicFileAttributes.lastAccessTime() in Java NIO
By this method we get the last access time of a file as FileTime object.BasicFileAttributes.lastModifiedTime() in Java NIO
It returns the FileTime Object which is will be last modified time of a file.BasicFileAttributesExample.java
package com.concretepage.io.file.attribute;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes;
import java.nio.file.attribute.FileTime;
public class BasicFileAttributesExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Path file = Paths.get("D:/cp","BasicFileAttributesExample.java");
BasicFileAttributes basicAttr = Files.readAttributes(file, BasicFileAttributes.class);
FileTime creationTime = basicAttr.creationTime();
System.out.println(creationTime);
FileTime lastAccessTime = basicAttr.lastAccessTime();
System.out.println(lastAccessTime);
FileTime lastModifiedTime = basicAttr.lastModifiedTime();
System.out.println(lastModifiedTime);
}
}
