NoSuchFileException error while executing jar file

I coded up a method which reads a text file, when I run it it works, but when I execute the jar, I get the NoSuchFileException error.
Here is my code:
private static final String textFile = "textFile.txt";
public readText() {
try {
regex = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths
.get(textFile)))
.replaceAll("\\r", "").split("\n");
} catch (final IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Could someone point out where am I going wrong or what changes I'm supposed to make?

I figured out a way:
try {
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream(textFile);
StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
String line = reader.readLine();
while(line!=null){
content.append(line).append(System.lineSeparator());
line = reader.readLine();
}
regex = content.toString()
.replaceAll("\\r", "").split("\n");
} catch (final IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Why is this not reading in?

I know I'm not doing something correctly. I know the file needs to be Serializable to read a text file.
I've got implements Serializable on the main class. But my readText and my writeText aren't converting.
Nothing is coming in when I read and when I write out the file is not text.
public static ArrayList<String> readText() {
ArrayList<String> read = new ArrayList<String>();
Frame f = new Frame();
FileDialog foBox = new FileDialog(f, "Reading serialized file",
FileDialog.LOAD);
foBox.setVisible(true);
String foName = foBox.getFile();
String dirPath = foBox.getDirectory();
File inFile = new File(dirPath + foName);
BufferedReader in = null;
ObjectInputStream OIS = null;
try {
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inFile));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
String line = null;
try {
line = in.readLine();
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
while (line != null) {
try {
FileInputStream IS = new FileInputStream(inFile);
OIS = new ObjectInputStream(IS);
inFile = (File) OIS.readObject();
} catch (IOException io) {
io.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("An IO Exception occurred");
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException cnf) {
cnf.printStackTrace(); // great for debugging!
System.out.println("An IO Exception occurred");
} finally
{
try {
OIS.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
}
return read;
}
public static void writeText(ArrayList<String> file) {
ArrayList<String> write = new ArrayList<String>();
Frame f = new Frame();
FileDialog foBox = new FileDialog(f, "Saving customer file",
FileDialog.SAVE);
foBox.setVisible(true);
String foName = foBox.getFile();
String dirPath = foBox.getDirectory();
File outFile = new File(dirPath + foName);
PrintWriter out = null;
try {
out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outFile)));
for (int i = 0; i < write.size(); i++) {
String w = write.get(i);
out.println(file.toString());
}
}
catch (IOException io) {
System.out.println("An IO Exception occurred");
io.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}

Nothing is coming in
You're never calling read.add(line) and you're attempting to read the file within an infinite loop inside of the catch block, which is only entered if you are not able to read the file.
Just use one try block, meaning try to open and read the file at once, otherwise, there's no reason to continue trying to read the file if it's not able to be opened
List<String> read = new ArrayList<>();
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inFile)) {
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
read.add(line); // need this
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return read;
Now, whatever you're doing with this serialized object stuff, that's completely separate, and it isn't the file or your main class that needs set to Serializable, it's whatever object you would have used a writeObject method on. However, you're reading and writing String objects, which are already Serializable.
when I write out the file is not text
Not sure what you mean by not text, but if you followed the above code, you'll get exactly what was in the initial file... Anyway, you do not need a write list variable.
You must use the individual lines of ArrayList<String> file parameter instead, but not file.toString()
for (String line:file) {
out.println(line);
}
out.close(); // always close your files and writers

How to copy files in Android in one go? Not create a tens lines of code! Smth like in a sample

I need to copy file from one place to another. I have found good solution :
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
public class FileCopyTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Path source = Paths.get("/Users/apple/Desktop/test.rtf");
Path destination = Paths.get("/Users/apple/Desktop/copied.rtf");
try {
Files.copy(source, destination);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This library work good, but in doesn't available in Android...
I try figure out which way i should use instead of, but it any suggestion... I am almost sure that it should be a library which allow copy files in one go.
If someone know say please, i am sure it will be very helpful answer for loads of people.
Thanks!

Well with commons-io, you can do this
FileInputStream source = null;
FileOutputStream destination = null;
try {
source = new FileInputStream(new File(/*...*/));
destination = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), /*...*/);
IOUtils.copy(source, destination);
} finally {
IOUtils.closeQuietly(source);
IOUtils.closeQuietly(destination);
}
Just add
compile 'org.apache.directory.studio:org.apache.commons.io:2.4'
to the build.gradle file

try this code
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.channels.FileChannel;
public class CopyFile {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File sourceFile = new File(
"/Users/Neel/Documents/Workspace/file1.txt");
File destFile = new File(
"/Users/Neel/Documents/Workspace/file2.txt");
/* verify whether file exist in source location */
if (!sourceFile.exists()) {
System.out.println("Source File Not Found!");
}
/* if file not exist then create one */
if (!destFile.exists()) {
try {
destFile.createNewFile();
System.out.println("Destination file doesn't exist. Creating
one!");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
FileChannel source = null;
FileChannel destination = null;
try {
/**
* getChannel() returns unique FileChannel object associated a file
* output stream.
*/
source = new FileInputStream(sourceFile).getChannel();
destination = new FileOutputStream(destFile).getChannel();
if (destination != null && source != null) {
destination.transferFrom(source, 0, source.size());
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
if (source != null) {
try {
source.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if (destination != null) {
try {
destination.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}

Use this utility class to read/write file in sdcard:
public class MyFile {
String TAG = "MyFile";
Context context;
public MyFile(Context context){
this.context = context;
}
public Boolean writeToSD(String text){
Boolean write_successful = false;
File root=null;
try {
// check for SDcard
root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Log.i(TAG,"path.." +root.getAbsolutePath());
//check sdcard permission
if (root.canWrite()){
File fileDir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath());
fileDir.mkdirs();
File file= new File(fileDir, "samplefile.txt");
FileWriter filewriter = new FileWriter(file);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(filewriter);
out.write(text);
out.close();
write_successful = true;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("ERROR:---", "Could not write file to SDCard" + e.getMessage());
write_successful = false;
}
return write_successful;
}
public String readFromSD(){
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File file = new File(sdcard,"samplefile.txt");
StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder();
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
text.append(line);
text.append('\n');
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
}
return text.toString();
}
#SuppressLint("WorldReadableFiles")
#SuppressWarnings("static-access")
public Boolean writeToSandBox(String text){
Boolean write_successful = false;
try{
FileOutputStream fOut = context.openFileOutput("samplefile.txt",
context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
osw.write(text);
osw.flush();
osw.close();
}catch(Exception e){
write_successful = false;
}
return write_successful;
}
public String readFromSandBox(){
String str ="";
String new_str = "";
try{
FileInputStream fIn = context.openFileInput("samplefile.txt");
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fIn);
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(isr);
while((str=br.readLine())!=null)
{
new_str +=str;
System.out.println(new_str);
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
}
return new_str;
}
}
Note you should give this permission in the AndroidManifest file.

Failing to print out contents of a file

I'm trying to print out the contents of the file. When I run the program, it doesn't do anything and I'm having trouble figuring out why.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String fileName = "goog.csv";
File file = new File(fileName);
try {
Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(file);
while(inputStream.hasNext()){
String data = inputStream.next();
System.out.println(data + "***");
}
inputStream.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Need to give full path of goog.csv file.
Put goog.csv file in workspace .metadata directory
then give full path of your file it will giving output because i tried your code on my system.
I just change your goog.csv file with mine firmpicture.csv file.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String fileName = "FilePath";
File file = new File(fileName);
try {
Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(file);
while(inputStream.hasNext()){
String data = inputStream.next();
System.out.println(data + "***");
}
inputStream.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

You need to specify the full path to the file, unless it exists in the present directory.

Try this:
public static void main(String a[]) {
String fileName = "goog.csv";
File f = new File(fileName);
String data = "";
if(f.exists()) {
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
while((data= br.readLine()) != null) {
if(!(data.length() == 0))
System.out.println(data);
}
br.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
System.out.println("The file does not exists !!!");
}
}

Parse a Path from Java program

Have a file on specified path /foo/file-a.txt and that file contains a path of another file
file-a.txt contains: /bar/file-b.txt this path at line one. need to parse the path of file-b.txt and zip that file and move that zipped file to another path /too/ from my Java code.
I been till the below code then i m stuck.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Reader
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
BufferedReader br = null;
try
{
String CurrentLine;
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/foo/file-a.txt"));
while ((CurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println(CurrentLine);
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
try
{
if (br != null)br.close();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
am getting path as text, help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

For the actual zipping of the file, this page may be of help.
As a general note, this code will replace the current existing zip file.
public class TestZip02 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
zip(new File("TextFiles.zip"), new File("sample.txt"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void zip(File zip, File file) throws IOException {
ZipOutputStream zos = null;
try {
String name = file.getName();
zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zip));
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(name);
zos.putNextEntry(entry);
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead = -1;
while ((bytesRead = fis.read(byteBuffer)) != -1) {
zos.write(byteBuffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
zos.flush();
} finally {
try {
fis.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
zos.closeEntry();
zos.flush();
} finally {
try {
zos.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
}
For moving the file, you can use File.renameTo, here's an example.
Hope this helps!
