Get the path of chosen file java

How to display a JFileChooser so I get the absolute path of a file, then assign the path to a string

I was doing something like:

JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);

You need to complete like: 

int option = chooser.showOpenDialog(parentComponent); // parentComponent must a component like JFrame, JDialog...
if (option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
   File selectedFile = chooser.getSelectedFile();
   String path = selectedFile.getAbsolutePath();
}
