Question

In my app there are 3 EditTexts. I want to write the content of this EditTexts to a file, but the filewrite throws a nullpointer exception. Why?

OutputStream f1; is declared globally.

BtnSave = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button01);
BtnSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        intoarray =   name + "|" + number + "|" + freq + "\n";
        Toast.makeText(Main.this, "" + intoarray, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        //so far so good
          byte buf[] = intoarray.getBytes(); 

          try {
            f1 = new FileOutputStream("file2.txt");
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
          try {
            f1.write(buf);  //nullpointer exception
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
          try {
            f1.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
    }

Sorry for all you were trying help me, I asked the wrong question. I wanted to use internal storage (and it is now working). I don’t know what the problem is, but the with the code below (that i have used a lot) filewrite is ok:

try {
    File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File file = new File(root, "Data.txt");
    if (root.canWrite()) {
        FileWriter filewriter = new FileWriter(file, true);
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriterfilewriter);
        out.write(intoarray);
        out.close();
    }
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e("TAG", "Could not write file " + e.getMessage());
}

I would delete the topic if I could. I accept this answer to close the topic.

Thanks, anyway.
