i tried the getFile() method, which returns the full path (ending by file name) but that's not what i want... i only want the path to the containing directory.

yes of course.
i tried the getFile() method, which returns the full path (ending by file name) but that's not what i want... i only want the path to the containing directory.

I dont know if i will get to look at what's going on more closely but 

and returning the the full path as a string why not...

getFile().substring(0,lastIndexOf((int)File.separatorChar));
