Hi all,

i am trying to create file xml on SDCard. It is successful on simulator but when i deploy the app to device, the file creation failed. Does any body know how to solve it or something wrong with my code ?

Note that my app has been signed with RRT, RBB, RCR

here is part of my code :

private String sdCard = "file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/";
private boolean fileExists;

public void open(String fileName) throws Exception{
this.fileName = fileName;
fConn = (FileConnection)Connector.open(sdCard+fileName, Connector.READ_WRITE);
this.fileExists = fConn.exists();
}

public void write(String content) throws Exception{
if(fileExists){
fConn.delete();
}
fConn.create();
fConn.setWritable(true);
outStream = fConn.openOutputStream();
outStream.write(content.getBytes());
//outStream.flush();
}

public boolean fileExists(){
return fileExists;
}

is your application signed?

BlackBerry - Java Code Signing Keys

Yes it is. I had stated it at my first post.

Do you get any exceptions?

Is the card write-protected (some have that cheeky little write-protector switch on them.)

Does the folder "Blackberry" exist on the sd card? (it will not be created automatically.)

Can you at least read from the card? I use the function below to scan all folders and report them - see if that works for you. Apologies for the slack string appending!

...
scanFolder( "SDcard/", 0 );
...
...


	private void scanFolder( String path, int deep ){
		FileConnection fc = null;
    	
		try{
			fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open( "file:///" + path );
			Enumeration fl = fc.list();
			while( fl.hasMoreElements() ){
				String file = (String)fl.nextElement();

				boolean bDir = false;
				FileConnection fd = (FileConnection)Connector.open( "file:///" + path + file );
				try{
					bDir = fd.isDirectory();
				}finally{
					try{ fd.close(); }catch( Throwable th ){ ; }
					fd = null;
				}

				if (bDir){
					StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
					int i = 0; 
					while( i++ <= deep ) sb.append( "  " );
					sb.append( file );
					// report directory name here

					scanFolder( path + file, deep+1 );
				}
			}

		}catch( IOException ioe ){
			// report ioe here

		}catch( SecurityException se ){
			// report se here

		}catch( Throwable th ){
			// report th here

		}finally{
			if (fc != null){
				try{ fc.close(); }catch( Throwable th ){ ; }
				fc = null;
			}
		}
	}

Hi robinShazam,

The exception message is 'File system error'. Do you have any idea ?


thx,

public void write(String content) throws Exception{
if(fileExists){
fConn.delete();
// reopen
}
fConn.create();
}

After deleting a file, you have to reopen file connection.
