/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Button okButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ok);
okButton.setOnClickListener(okOnClickListener);
Button cancelButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancel);
cancelButton.setOnClickListener(cancelOnClickListener);

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
}

private Button.OnClickListener okOnClickListener = new Button.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
EditText edit_text = (EditText)
findViewById(R.id.message_text);
CharSequence edit_text_value = edit_text.getText();
setTitle("Hello:"+edit_text_value);

ObjectOutputStream objectOut = null;
try
{
FileOutputStream out = openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
objectOut = new ObjectOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(out));

out.write(edit_text_value); // error at this line ?
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
//.append("Unable to write test file from Java, see logcat for details");
}

}
};

private Button.OnClickListener cancelOnClickListener = new Button.OnClickListener()

<Button
android:id = "@+id/cancel"

</LinearLayout>

I think you must .close() the file if not, any change is not saved.
The line you commented:



PS (use java and xml tags when you're posting a code)

If you are saving to your apps data directory you do not have to specify the directory, just use this:



That will avoid any file path errors.
