I am developing a simple android application and I need to write a text file in internal storage device. I know there are a lot of questions (and answers) about this matter but I really cannot understand what I am doing in the wrong way.
This is the piece of code I use in my activity in order to write the file:
public void writeAFile(){
String fileName = "myFile.txt";
String textToWrite = "This is some text!";
FileOutputStream outputStream;
try {
outputStream = openFileOutput(fileName , Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
outputStream.write(textToWrite.getBytes());
outputStream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I really cannot understand which mistake I am doing. In addition, I have tried this project on my emulator in Android Studio and my phone in order to understand where I am doing something wrong but even with that project no file is written neither on the phone or on the emulator.
EDIT: I know that no file is written to my internal storage because I try to read the content of the file, after I have written to it, with this code:
public void ReadBtn(View v) {
//reading text from file
try {
FileInputStream fileIn=openFileInput("myFile.txt");
InputStreamReader InputRead= new InputStreamReader(fileIn);
char[] inputBuffer= new char[READ_BLOCK_SIZE];
String s="";
int charRead;
while ((charRead=InputRead.read(inputBuffer))>0) {
String readstring=String.copyValueOf(inputBuffer,0,charRead);
s +=readstring;
}
InputRead.close();
textmsg.setText(s);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Nothing is shown at all.
