you cannot do it with File, try Java 7 NIO2

FileTime attr = (FileTime) Files.getAttribute(Paths.get("1.txt"), "lastAccessTime");

import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes;
import java.nio.file.Files;

public class ReadFileLastAccess {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Path file_dir = Paths.get("/home/user/");
        Path file = file_dir.resolve("testfile.txt");
        BasicFileAttributes attrs = Files.readAttributes(file, BasicFileAttributes.class);       
        System.out.println("Last accessed at:" + attrs.lastAccessTime());
    }
}

The NIO package is your friend :)

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.nio.file.attribute.BasicFileAttributes;

public class Snippet {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Path file = Paths.get("target.target");
        BasicFileAttributes attrs = Files.readAttributes(file, BasicFileAttributes.class);
        System.out.println("Last access time:" + attrs.lastAccessTime());
    }
}
