Question

I have the following code

TreePath tp = jTree.getSelectionPath();
String path = tp.getPath().toString();

This will set path as Ljava.lang.Object;@33530691, I understand this is because

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of
the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign
character `@’, and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash
code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal
to the value of:

getClass().getName() + ‘@’ +Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

But how do you actually get this value as a String?

Answer 1

getPath() returns an array of String values representing the components in the tree. If you need the String representation of the root, you will do getPath()[0];
