finding the path of file in a Java program

In the following Java program (only showing a part of the whole program) I have the follwing code:

private final File test_data_file;
private final int algorithm_selection;

private double average_pos_err, average_exe_time;

// The scan list to use for offline
private ArrayList<LogRecord> OfflineScanList;

public OfflineMode(RadioMap RM, File test_data_file, int algorithm_selection, Handler handler) {
    this.RM = RM;
    this.test_data_file = test_data_file;
    this.handler = handler;
    this.algorithm_selection = algorithm_selection;
    this.OfflineScanList = new ArrayList<LogRecord>();
}

public void run() {

    if (!test_data_file.isFile() || !test_data_file.exists() || !test_data_file.canRead()) {
        errMsg = test_data_file + " does not exist or is not readable";
        handler.sendEmptyMessage(-1);
        return;
    }

I want to track down, the path of the variable "test_data_file" of type File, but the code does not seems to show me any directions. do you know where I can find it?

Thank you.

You can use File#getAbsolutePath or File#getCanonicalPath which will resolve the path fully (removing relative components)

using by java 7 you can get file type

String fileType = Files.probeContentType(test_data_file.getPath());

for more detail you can refers http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files.html#probeContentType%28java.nio.file.Path%29
