Read files from directory using BufferedReader

I wrote a code to read a files from a directory. The directory contain many files. Firstly, I count the number of the files in the directory, then I would like to count number of lines in the files that have as extension: .info and .data

My code is the following:

   public void checkEmptyEntryFileLoader(String directory) {
        File name = new File(directory);
        String filenames[]=name.list();
        long countFile = 0;
        long countLineData = 0;
        long countLineInfo = 0;

        for(String filename:filenames){
            //System.out.println(filename);
            countFile++;
        }
        System.out.println(countFile); // this bloc worked well

        File files[]=name.listFiles();
        for(File file:files){
            String fileName = file.getName();
            if(fileName.endsWith("data")) {
                try {
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
                    while (reader.readLine() != null) {
                        countLineData++;
                    }
                }catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }

             if(fileName.endsWith("info")) {
                try {
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
                    while (reader.readLine() != null) {
                        countLineInfo ++;
                    }
                }catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            System.out.println(countLineInfo );

        }
    }

I got as error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: my_file_name.data (No such file or directory)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:93)
        at java.io.FileReader.<init>(FileReader.java:58)

The error concerns the FileReader, it accept only the string, and the filename is a String

Do you have some idea please ? Thank you

Answer

Instead of passing filename in FileReader(), try passing file.

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));

My answer assumes that the error that you have given as output is stack trace printed in the try-catch block and not the error that you get when you try to compile/run the code.
