getMaxDepth

int getMaxDepth()

Returns the maximum depth of children of subdirectories to include below the path specified by getTypedPath(). For example, when the value is -1, then the DirectoryView should include only itself. When the value is 0, it should include all of the subdirectories and files in the path. When the value is 1, it should include all of the subdirectories and files in the path and all of the subdirectories and files in the immediate subdirectories of the path, but not the children of these nested subdirectories. When the value is Integer.MAX_VALUE, all children of the path are included.

Returns:

the maximum depth of subdirectory children to include.
