FileFilter for JFileChooser

filefilter, java, jfilechooser, swing

Solution

Try and use `fileChooser.setFileFilter(filter)` instead of `fileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);`

Problem

I want to restrict a `JFileChooser` to select only mp3 files. But, the following code allows all file types: ``` FileFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("MP3 File","mp3"); fileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter); fileChooser.showOpenDialog(frame); File file = fileChooser.getSelectedFile(); ```
