Adding io.File array into DefaultListModel

Question

I am creating what should be a simple slide show with images loaded using a JChooser and File Filter.
Here's my code:
Loading Images
     private void loadImages() {          
          JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
          chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
          int state = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
          if (state == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
               File directory = chooser.getSelectedFile();
               imageFiles = directory.listFiles(new ImageFileFilter());
               listModel = new DefaultListModel();
               listModel.addElement(imageFiles);
          } else {
               close();
     }getListRendererComponent
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
               int row, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
          setOpaque(isSelected);
          setBorder(cellHasFocus ? HAS_FOCUS_BORDER : null);
          if (value instanceof File) {
               File imageFile = (File) value;
               ImageIcon imageIcon = cachedImages.get(imageFile);
               if (imageIcon == null) {
                    try {
                         imageIcon = getScaledImageIcon(imageFile);
                         cachedImages.put(imageFile, imageIcon);
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                         setText("Exception!!");
                         setIcon(null);
               setText("");
               setIcon(imageIcon);
          } else {
               setText("No Images");
               setIcon(null);
          return this;
     }My problem here is that it's showing "No Images", even when there are images in the selected directory.
I think I have to change something from here:
               File directory = chooser.getSelectedFile();
               imageFiles = directory.listFiles(new ImageFileFilter());
               listModel = new DefaultListModel();
               listModel.addElement(imageFiles);But I don't know what.
Thanks in advance.

Wrong forum, but here you go anyway:
    listModel = new DefaultListModel();
    for(File file : imageFiles)
      listModel.addElement(file);
    }
