private long getDirSize(File path) {
Iterator path_iterator;
File current_file ;
long size;

path_iterator =
(Arrays.asList(path.listFiles))).iterator();

size=0;

while (path_iterator.hasNext()) {
current_file=(File) path_iterator.next();
if (current_file.isFile()) {
size+=current_file.length();
}
else {
size+=getDirSize(current_file);
}
}

return size;
}
