AStreams Just write a file no listener

[CharlesIPTI]

I need to log, errors and application progress.
As this IS AN Android app I've decided that only if there's a web service fail will i write anything to this local log file..
So I don't need notifications just an async write to file. I've looked over the AsyncStreams tutorial.

All I really want to do it asynchronously write to a file. I may add the web service call to this little asynchronous method since the actual write to file will only happen if the web service is inaccessible. I believe I understand how to accomplish that , but the little writing to file part .. all these references to buffers and ports seems to be overkill for this little task

out.Close

How to I simply write out a log file asynchronously ??

Why do you want to do it asynchronously? Unless you are writing a lot of data, appending to an open file should be a very quick operation.
