Hello everyone -

i wonder how to get the mimetype of an file.
via

File[] files = new File("/Users/me/Documents/Processing/processing/applicationx/data/").listFiles()
;
 
 for( int i=0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
   println("Mime Type of " + files[i].getName() + " is " + files[i].getMimeType() );
 }

processing gets the files in the folder. but the 'getMimeType'-java keyword won't be accepted. i found no sample so far. can someone help ?

also i found no way to use relative paths, i always have to set the full system-path. how can i tell processing the data-folder is in the application-folder via code without to save the complete system-path ... ?

thank everyone for response -

Hi PhiLho -

thanks for reply. Yes, Google finds some solutions. But it's always for native Java-Applications and sometimes hard for me to understand because Processing is also new for me.
But this time it works. Thank you for the link.

The problem with the directory i can't fix at the time. Because having subfolders in the data-path i have to give a pathname and that's why Processing seems to need the full-path beginning by the root of the system ...
