You're looking for the JFileChooser class. FileInputStream is an inputstream, not a popup window. — OneCricketeer, Dec 01 '16 at 15:46

You can use a JFileChooser to be able to select a file from a dialog box.

Assuming you want to launch it outside a Java Swing application, you could proceed as next:

final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
// Open the dialog using null as parent component if you are outside a
// Java Swing application otherwise provide the parent component instead
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
    // Retrieve the selected file
    File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
    try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file)) {
        // Do something here
    }
}
