Log.i("file status", "file created");

URL rurl = new URL("http://www.vaderradar.se/create_images.php?height=400&width=400&id=0");

URLConnection con= rurl.openConnection();

con.connect();

}

//writting to the file

Log.i("writing"," done");

is.close();

filewriter.close();
// closing the file and webconnection

Filewriter is for character streams..Since your are saving a image you should use FileOutputStream...

that is why when i was trying to write a text file it was easily written and displayed thanks for the answer
