JFileChooser filters

I am putting a JFileChooser in my program, but that only takes images.

For a list of types supported by that JRE on that OS, use ImageIO.

FileFilter imageFilter = new FileNameExtensionFilter(
    "Image files", ImageIO.getReaderFileSuffixes());

Types seen - Java 1.6/Windows 7

bmp
jpg
jpeg
wbmp
png
gif

Note: don't hard-code that list! It might change from version to version, and OS to OS. E.G.

1. I am not surprised that Windows has support to load BMP, but does that come up in a Mac?
2. Seeing WBMP alerted me to the existence of such a format!

That list would have many more formats if jai was installed.

Filter as it appears in a chooser

the argument of fc.addChoosableFileFilter() should be a subclass of javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter. For example, you can change your code as

fc.addChoosableFileFilter(new FileNameExtensionFilter("Image Files", "jpg", "png", "tif");

i am using setFileFilter().

My Code is Below (JAVA-JSE 1.6)

JFileChooser c = new JFileChooser();
//Setting Up The Filter
FileFilter imageFilter = new FileNameExtensionFilter(
    "Image files", ImageIO.getReaderFileSuffixes());

//Attaching Filter to JFileChooser object
c.setFileFilter(imageFilter);

//Displaying Filechooser
int rVal = c.showOpenDialog(new JPanel());
