Android write to file

Question

I've made I simple function to write from URL to file. Everything works good until out.write(), I mean there's no exception, but it just doesn't write anything to file

Here's code

private boolean getText(String url, String name) throws IOException { if(url!=null){ FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter(PATH+"/"+name+".txt"); BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fstream); URL _url = new URL(url); int code = ((HttpURLConnection) _url.openConnection()).getResponseCode(); if(code==200){ URLConnection urlConnection = _url.openConnection(); // InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream()); int bytesRead = 0; byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; while ((bytesRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) { String chunk = new String(buffer, 0, bytesRead); out.write(chunk); } return true; } out.close(); } return false; }

Can someone tell me what's wrong please?

also, all permisions are set and so on - i've already done writing images and thought text will be much easier but im getting real frustrated right now — krp

Is there anything being read? (Does the while loop get executed?) — Otra

Try fstream.flush().

Also out.close() should be called before returning from a function.
