    <p>I am trying to write to a text file in Android. My code is as follows (running in a Service):</p> <pre><code> File log; String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState(); File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES); if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state) || Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)) { log = new File(path, "log.csv"); System.out.println("Opening file"); } else { System.err.println("Could not write to external storage medium. No log will be created"); return; } String line = "stuff"; if (!log.exists()) { try { log.createNewFile(); System.out.println("Creating new log file."); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Could not create new log file"); e.printStackTrace(); return; } } try { path.mkdirs(); BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(log, true)); bw.append(line); System.out.println("Appending to log file."); bw.newLine(); bw.flush(); bw.close(); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Failed to write to log file"); e.printStackTrace(); return; } </code></pre> <p>And I have put the following line in AndroidManifest.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I run this, the following is printed in LogCat:</p> <pre><code>Opening file Appending to log file. </code></pre> <p>But I can't find any files with the given name on the phone's memory, despite looking in the desired directory and running a search to see if it's somewhere else instead.</p> <p>I'm not sure what could be going wrong. Any ideas? Thanks!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
