Question

So, i am showing a file chooser dialog using:

    JFileChooser c = new JFileChooser();
    int rVal = c.showSaveDialog(this);

    if (rVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
      saveFile((c.getCurrentDirectory().toString() + "/" + c.getSelectedFile().getName()), "data to be saved");
    }  

It works fine, but problem is user himself has to write a file name at the file prompt where file name is to be provided or he can select a file from file listing so that it can be overwritten.

I want to know is there any way that the file chooser text box already shows the users suggested file name so that he simply clicks on save and it works.

Answer 1

Just call setSelectedFile method before showing the dialog.
