Apps Writing String to Text file.

[IatroJordan]

Hi, I am trying to write a string which is the output of my counter into a text file. I tried using the android coding from the tutorial but it still doesn't work. Can anyone advice me on this? My text file is inside the directory src/main/assets.

1. public void saveText(){
   int seconds;
   FileOutputStream outputStream;
   String saveText;
   long elapsedMillis = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - mChronometer.getBase();
   seconds = (int) (elapsedMillis / 1000);
   try {
   outputStream = openFileOutput("logs.txt", MODE_APPEND);
   saveText = String.valueOf(seconds);
   outputStream.write(saveText.getBytes());
   outputStream.close();
   Toast.makeText(this, saveText, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   } catch (Throwable t){
   Toast.makeText(this, "Exception: " + t.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   }
   }

Please explain what you mean by "it still doesn't work". In the absence of more specific information about the problem here are some links which may be helpful:-

Sorry, string was not written to the text file. I check the string by using a toast and the string display correctly. I tried writing a string straight into the logs file but it does not work as well.

Assuming you did not get any exceptions, the data has been written to the file.

Questions:
1. Where do you think this file is being created?
2. How are you checking that the file exists?
