Android Question Saving files in CSV form

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

Sub SaveData(Items() As String)
    Dim su As StringUtils
    Dim rows As List = Array (Items)
    su.SaveCSV(File.DirRootExternal, "data.txt", ",", rows)
End Sub

Can anyone tell me why is my file not saving in a csv form? I can't find it in the external files.

How are you searching for it? With a file manager?

 

[Izmirov.Yaminovich]

Yes, I was trying things out. I couldn't find it. Did I missed anything? If it is directed to root external it should be at the external right? I searched the internal as well. It's just not there.

 

[Erel]

You cannot search the internal folders.

Are you using a file manager app or Windows explorer? If you are using Windows explorer then the file will only be visible after the file is scanned: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/force-media-scanner-on-deleted-file.25794/#post-214985

I am using the file manager app. If the csv file doesn't show, how am I supposed to know it it is saved correctly?

You should be able to see it with a file manager app.

If no error was thrown then the file was saved successfully. You can use File.Exists to check whether the file exists.

you mean like this?

File.Exists(File.DirRootExternal, "data.txt")

It doesn't show though. Just the txt file, not in CSV

What do you mean with Just the txt file, not in CSV ?
If you expect a csv extension you should set it ?
"data.csv" instead of "data.txt"

Oh really? I thought it might have two separated files. Silly me. Thanks
