这将很好地工作:

private static void addfiles(File inputValVal, ArrayList<File> files)
{
  if(inputVal.isDirectory())
  {
    ArrayList <File> path = new ArrayList<File>(Arrays.asList(inputVal.listFiles()));

    for(int i=0; i<path.size(); ++i)
    {
        if(path.get(i).isDirectory())
        {
            addfiles(path.get(i),files);
        }
        if(path.get(i).isFile())
        {
            files.add(path.get(i));
        }
     }

    /*  Optional : if you need to have the counts of all the folders and files you can create 2 global arrays 
        and store the results of the above 2 if loops inside these arrays */
   }

   if(inputVal.isFile())
   {
     files.add(inputVal);
   }

}

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());
        }

      }
    }
  }
}

虽然我同意Rich, Orian和其他人使用:

    final File keysFileFolder = new File(<path>); 
    File[] fileslist = keysFileFolder.listFiles();

    if(fileslist != null)
    {
        //Do your thing here...
    }

出于某种原因，这里所有的例子都使用绝对路径(即从根目录开始，或者，对于windows..)

我想补充的是，也可以使用相对路径。 所以，如果你的pwd(当前目录/文件夹)是folder1，你想要解析folder1/子文件夹，你只需写(在上面的代码中代替):

    final File keysFileFolder = new File("subfolder");

package com.commandline.folder;

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class FolderReadingDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = args[0];
        final File folder = new File(str);
//      listFilesForFolder(folder);
        listFilesForFolder(str);
    }

    public static void listFilesForFolder(String str) {
        try (Stream<Path> paths = Files.walk(Paths.get(str))) {
            paths.filter(Files::isRegularFile).forEach(System.out::println);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void listFilesForFolder(final File folder) {
        for (final File fileEntry : folder.listFiles()) {
            if (fileEntry.isDirectory()) {
                listFilesForFolder(fileEntry);
            } else {
                System.out.println(fileEntry.getName());
            }
        }
    }

}

private static final String ROOT_FILE_PATH="/";
File f=new File(ROOT_FILE_PATH);
File[] allSubFiles=f.listFiles();
for (File file : allSubFiles) {
    if(file.isDirectory())
    {
        System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath()+" is directory");
        //Steps for directory
    }
    else
    {
        System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath()+" is file");
        //steps for files
    }
}

这将读取指定路径下的指定文件扩展名文件(也可以查看子文件夹)

public static Map<String,List<File>> getFileNames(String 
dirName,Map<String,List<File>> filesContainer,final String fileExt){
    String dirPath = dirName;
    List<File>files = new ArrayList<>();
    Map<String,List<File>> completeFiles = filesContainer; 
    if(completeFiles == null) {
        completeFiles = new HashMap<>();
    }
    File file = new File(dirName);

    FileFilter fileFilter = new FileFilter() {
        @Override
        public boolean accept(File file) {
            boolean acceptFile = false;
            if(file.isDirectory()) {
                acceptFile = true;
            }else if (file.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(fileExt))
              {
                acceptFile = true;
              }
            return acceptFile;
        }
    };
    for(File dirfile : file.listFiles(fileFilter)) {
        if(dirfile.isFile() && 
dirfile.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(fileExt)) {
            files.add(dirfile);
        }else if(dirfile.isDirectory()) {
            if(!files.isEmpty()) {
                completeFiles.put(dirPath, files);  
            }

getFileNames(dirfile.getAbsolutePath(),completeFiles,fileExt);
        }
    }
    if(!files.isEmpty()) {
        completeFiles.put(dirPath, files);  
    }
    return completeFiles;
}
