Method Detail

basePath

public static String basePath(String path,
                              String extension)

Parameters:

path - The path, possibly with an extension to strip

extension - The extension to strip, or null if no extension exists

Returns:

The path without any extension

extension

public static String extension(String path)

Gets extension from path

Parameters:

path - The path

Returns:

The extension, like "bmp" or "html", or null if none can be found

filename

public static String filename(String path)

Gets filename from path

Parameters:

path - The path

Returns:

The filename

remove

public static boolean remove(File file)

Deletes a normal file.

If the file cannot be deleted for any reason then at most 50 retries are attempted with delay of 100ms at each 10th attempt.

true if file was deleted, false if the file don't exist, is a folder or cannot be removed for some reason

removeFolder

public static boolean removeFolder(File folder)

Deletes a folder by recursively removing the files and folders inside it. Delegates the work to remove(File) for plain files.

Parameters:

folder - the folder to delete

Returns:

true if the folder is deleted successfully.

removeAsync

public static boolean removeAsync(File file,
                                  IFileCleaner fileCleaner)

Schedules a file for removal asynchronously.

Parameters:

file - the file to be removed

fileCleaner - the file cleaner that will be used to remove the file

Returns:

false if the file is null or a folder, true - otherwise (i.e. if it is scheduled)

removeFolderAsync

public static boolean removeFolderAsync(File folder,
                                        IFileCleaner fileCleaner)

Schedules a folder and all files inside it for asynchronous removal.

Parameters:

folder - the folder to be removed

fileCleaner - the file cleaner that will be used to remove the file

Returns:

false if the folder is null or a normal file, true - otherwise (i.e. if it is scheduled)
