TextWriter file invisible in Windows Explorer

[rogier1973]

I created a simple application that writes some text to a text file, using ISO-8859-1 encoding, to be able to use the file back on a Windows computer. After closing the TextWriter the file is visible in the file explorer of my physical Android device, but linked to my Windows computer, the text file is not visible, other files though! And when I copy the text file within the Android device using the file explorer and past the file on a different location, it also gets visible in the Windows Explorer!! This is what I use as code:

Dim Writer As TextWriter
Writer.Initialize2(File.OpenOutput(File.DirRootExternal,"Test.txt", False), "ISO-8859-1")

Writer.WriteLine("A" & Chr(13))
Writer.WriteLine("B" & Chr(13))
Writer.WriteLine("C" & Chr(13))

Writer.Close


Can it also be some security setting in my Android device? I'm using an Asus TF101.

This is not related to TextWriter. The file is created and it exists.

Did you try to refresh Windows Explorer?

Hi Erel,

Indeed I refreshed the explorer with F5, with no result. The file exists, since I can read the content back to the Android application, but within Windows nothing shows.

Have you found a solution for this? I am experiencing the same issue.
