JFileChooser cannot be resolved to a type

[bizkitj]

Hello
Here is the code I am testing.

`import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.filechooser.FileNameExtensionFilter;
import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
PImage img;
final JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
FileNameExtensionFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("JPG image","jpg");
void setup () {
size(600, 600);
imageMode(CENTER);
img = loadImage("img000.jpg");
}

void draw () {
background(25);
image(img, width/2, height/2);
}

void keyPressed() {
chooser.setFileFilter(filter);
if (key=='l') {
int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(new JFrame());
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
System.out.println("You chose to open this file: " +
chooser.getSelectedFile().getName());
}

String path=chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();
println(path);
img = loadImage(path);

}
}`

processing console gives me the following error message:

Hi, the problem is that Swing is not part of the Android SDK. You should use Android's own native widgets (although it seems that it does not include a file selector, a google search can yield some possibilities).

Closing this issue, since it is not a bug in the Android mode.
