import java.io.File;
public class LatestFileInDir {
     static long maxFileDate = 0;
     static String maxFilePath = "";
     static void getLatestFilePath(File fd) throws Exception {
        if (fd.isDirectory()) {
             String[] children = fd.list();
             for (int i=0; i<children.length; i++) getLatestFilePath(new File(fd, children));
else {
     if(fd.lastModified() > maxFileDate) {
          maxFileDate = fd.lastModified();
          maxFilePath = fd.getCanonicalPath();
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
          getLatestFilePath(new File("C:\\TestDir"));
          System.out.println("Latest File : " + maxFilePath);
