File.IsFile Property

Definition

Tests whether the file denoted by this abstract pathname is a normal file.

public virtual bool IsFile { [Android.Runtime.Register("isFile", "()Z", "GetIsFileHandler")] get; }
[<get: Android.Runtime.Register("isFile", "()Z", "GetIsFileHandler")>]
member this.IsFile : bool

Property Value

true if and only if the file denoted by this abstract pathname exists <em>and</em> is a normal file; false otherwise

Attributes

Remarks

Tests whether the file denoted by this abstract pathname is a normal file. A file is <em>normal</em> if it is not a directory and, in addition, satisfies other system-dependent criteria. Any non-directory file created by a Java application is guaranteed to be a normal file.

Where it is required to distinguish an I/O exception from the case that the file is not a normal file, or where several attributes of the same file are required at the same time, then the java.nio.file.Files#readAttributes(Path,Class,LinkOption[]) Files.readAttributes method may be used.
