You have to add SDCard support when you create a VM in the emulator.

Oh, I created the vm first. Then I went in and edited the vm and added 2gb external sd storage space to the vm.

Is that not acceptable?

Here's the code I use to check if a file exist. Tried both True & False here.

B4X:

'create file first time if it doesn't exist  -- not working -- fix it
   If File.Exists(File.DirDefaultExternal,"button.txt") = True Then
   Map1.Initialize
   Map1.Put(0,Button1.Text )
   Map1.Put(1,Button2.Text )
        Map1.Put(2,Button3.Text )
   Map1.Put(3,Button4.Text )
   File.WriteMap(File.DirRootExternal, "button.txt", Map1)
   End If

I don't understand.
You check if the file exists in File.DirDefaultExternal
If File.Exists(File.DirDefaultExternal,"button.txt") = True Then
but then you save on File.DirRootExternal
File.WriteMap(File.DirRootExternal, "button.txt", Map1)
Is this really what you want ?

Best regards.

Sorry, didn't notice that. Need more than two sets of eyes sometimes.
