Yes. Android (linux) end of line character is chr(10). Windows end of line characters are chr(13) & chr(10).

You can change your code to:

Writer.Write("..." & chr(13) & chr(10))

Or you can download a more powerful text editor like notepad++ (highly recommended): Notepad++ | 5.9
This editor knows how to deal with different formats and it also shows you the actual characters.

Note that TextReader.ReadLine will work correctly with both types of end characters.

Surely that should be:

Writer.Write("..." & chr(13) )

as chr(10) will be appended anyway?
