A Java program to demonstrate the use of java.io.File isHidden() to check if a file is hidden.

package com.mkyong;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
 
public class FileHidden
{
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {	
    	File file = new File("c:/hidden-file.txt");
 
    	if(file.isHidden()){
    		System.out.println("This file is hidden");
    	}else{
    		System.out.println("This file is not hidden");
    	}
    }
}
Note
The isHidden() method is system dependent, on UNIX platform, a file is considered hidden if it’s name is begins with a “dot” symbol (‘.’); On Microsoft Windows platform, a file is considered to be hidden, if it’s marked as hidden in the file properties.
