So i have figured out how to get all the files and directories and add them to the treeview but it shows me the complete file path: C/user/file.txt i just want the file or folder name and not the path.

The code to create the list is as follows:

private TreeItem<File> buildFileSys(File dir, TreeItem<File> parent){ TreeItem<File> root = new TreeItem<>(dir); root.setExpanded(false); File[] files = dir.listFiles(); for (File file : files) { if (file.isDirectory()) { buildFileSys(file,root); } else { root.getChildren().add(new TreeItem<>(file)); } } if(parent==null){ return root; } else { parent.getChildren().add(root); } return null; }

I then take the returned TreeItem and do treeview.setroot(treeItem< File> obj);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use a custom cellFactory to determine, how the items are shown in the TreeView:

treeView.setCellFactory(new Callback<TreeView<File>, TreeCell<File>>() { public TreeCell<File> call(TreeView<File> tv) { return new TreeCell<File>() { @Override protected void updateItem(File item, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(item, empty); setText((empty || item == null) ? "" : item.getName()); } }; } });

Hey thank you for the solution but i am getting an error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from new TreeCell<File>(){} to TreeCell<File>
@Reggie: I overlooked the javafx-2 tag. You're probably using java 7 so lambdas are not allowed of course. (Should be fixed now.) Otherwise there is a issue with the type parameter of TreeView or with your imports...
Could you please add an explanation as to what it is the code does if possible. Thank you.
