S sarkis Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 14, 2015 #1 Hello, I am trying to write a txt file to the local hard drive while debugging. Here are commands. Dim WriteLevel, WriteWay As TextWriter WriteLevel.Initialize(File.OpenOutput(File.DirDefaultExternal, fileName ,False)) Path for fileName was configured while running AVD manager to the original file. Compiler created a folder by the name "fileName.lock" and a file within by the name "pid" The first question is what means "mnt" in line mnt\sdcard\Android\data\... How to write a file to any folder in the local drive Thanks Last edited: Jan 15, 2015

DonManfred Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jan 15, 2015 #4 They also work properly if you use the right path. If you think it is not lik this then you should create a thread describing what you want to to, what you have done (your code (Export as zip)) and what errors you get Upvote 0

DonManfred Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jan 15, 2015 #6 What is the exacpt path and filename? Note that the files in the android\data\yourpackage\files\ are your ASSETS files (files-tab in the ide). This path is read only. You should use a writeable path to store files... File.DirRootExternal for ex. Upvote 0

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jan 15, 2015 #12 What exactly do you want to do with the information in this file during debuging? For debugging you have other possibilities like Breakpoints and the Log. These would be much more efficient than writing data in a file. Upvote 0
