Apps Can't save downloaded files to SDCard (or anywhere else)

[phodat]

I am attempted to download some files off of a web server down to my android phone. I would prefer the download be put on the SDcard but at this point it doesn't matter. I am become quite frustrated with this.

When I attempt to download, I get all the way to the end without exceptions thrown and I check for its existence and do not find it. In addition I cannot find the files on my SD card when looking via DDMS. When I do a directory check, I do not get any errors that the directory does not exist.

I suspect some type of permissions issue but I can't seem to find the answer. I have verified that the web page script (PHP) is working by trying on my browser. I am able to down the file to my hearts content


thanks in advance!!!

private boolean WriteBytesToFile(String path,byte[] bytes)
{
boolean returnval =false;

try
{

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/MyDir" + path);

File directory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/MyDir" + path).getParentFile();
if (!directory.exists() && !directory.mkdirs()) {
logger.e("WriteBytesToFile","path does not exist ");
}

FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(path,MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
logger.e("WriteBytesToFile","Length of file to write : " +Integer.toString(bytes.length));
fos.write(bytes);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
if (file.exists())
{
logger.e("WriteBytesToFile","File Exists after download");
returnval = true;
}
else
{
logger.e("WriteBytesToFile","File Doesn't Exist after download");
returnval = true;
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
logger.e("WriteBytesToFile","Exception : " + ex.toString());
}
return returnval;
}

}

Please disregard, I found my error. I was checking a file path that was not relevant to my apps private storage. When I did a search via getFilesDir() the files were there...
