Java File Class toURI() Method with Examples

Last Updated : 2 Feb, 2022

The toURI() method returns the URI that corresponds to the supplied URL. This method works similarly to the new URI (this.toString()). This abstract pathname is represented by a file: URI.

Syntax:

public URI toURI()

Returns: It returns an absolute hierarchical URI with the scheme "file," a path that represents this abstract pathname, and undefined authority, query, and fragment components.

Exception:

  • SecurityException: If you can't get to a needed system property value

Example:

Java
// Java Program to demonstrate the working
// of toURI() method of File Class

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URI;
public class GFG 
{
    public static void main (String[] args) 
    {
        File f = new File("C:\\GEEKSFORGEEKS\\hello.txt");
 
        try 
        {
            URI uri = f.toURI();
 
            System.out.println("uri is :- " + uri);
 
        } 
        catch (SecurityException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
