Using you current code, make this tweak:

public void listf(String directoryName, List<File> files) {
    File directory = new File(directoryName);

    // Get all files from a directory.
    File[] fList = directory.listFiles();
    if(fList != null)
        for (File file : fList) {      
            if (file.isFile()) {
                files.add(file);
            } else if (file.isDirectory()) {
                listf(file.getAbsolutePath(), files);
            }
        }
}
