Question

I have a problem with my android-app.
I want to save a Data-list in a xml and save it to SD-Card.

Here the code fragment from my activity:

  Button btnActivity = (Button)findViewById(R.id.modul_save);
        btnActivity.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
        {   
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Handlerlist templist=new Handlerlist();                                 //default-constructor for  handlerlist
                Parser_Writer temp_parser=new Parser_Writer();                          //default-constructor for praser(writing)
                templist.add_modul(name, abk, 1, 0, "Hallo", room, 1, 2, 3, 1.3, true); //save input-data in the list

                temp_parser.write_xml(templist);                                        //calls the parser(writing)
                Intent in = new Intent(modul_create.this,modul_overview.class);     
                startActivity(in);
            }
        });

This is my parser:

public class Parser_Writer {

public Parser_Writer(){
}

    public void write_xml(Handlerlist h){
        XStream xstream = new XStream(new DomDriver());
        try {
            String xml = xstream.toXML(h);

            String path=Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

            File myXml= new File(path+"new.xml");
            myXml.createNewFile();
            FileWriter fileIO =new FileWriter(myXml);
            fileIO.write("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>");
            fileIO.write(xml.toString());
            fileIO.close();

            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
    }

}

I also add the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE… but i can not write on my storage!! I got the following logcat-message:

java.io.IOException: Read-only file system

Someone here who could help me?

This is a shot in the dark — it might be that you have your SD card locked after all — but try changing the following:

File myXml= new File(path+"new.xml");

to this:

File myXml= new File(path+"/new.xml");
