      File folder = new File(path);
      File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles(); 
     
      for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) 
      {
     
       if (listOfFiles[i].isFile()) 
       {
       files = listOfFiles[i].getName();
       System.out.println(files);
          }
      }
    }
    }

    If you want to list only .txt files for example, Use this code:

    import java.io.File;
     
    public class ListFiles 
    {
     
     public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
     
      // Directory path here
      String path = "."; 
     
      String files;
      File folder = new File(path);
      File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles(); 
     
      for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) 
      {
     
       if (listOfFiles[i].isFile()) 
       {
       files = listOfFiles[i].getName();
           if (files.endsWith(".txt") || files.endsWith(".TXT"))
           {
              System.out.println(files);
            }
         }
      }
    }
    }

    You can modify the .txt or .TXT to be whatever file extension you wish.
