How to make a txt file in internal storage in android?
This example demonstrates How to make a txt file in internal storage in android.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" tools:context = ".MainActivity" android:orientation = "vertical"> <EditText android:id = "@+id/enterText" android:hint = "Please enter text here" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" /> <Button android:id = "@+id/save" android:text = "Save" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout>
In the above code, we have taken editext and button. When the user clicks on the button, it will take data from edit text and store in internal storage as /data/data/<your.package.name>/files/text/sample.txt.
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
package com.example.andy.myapplication; import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Toast; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { Button save; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); final EditText enterText = findViewById(R.id.enterText); save = findViewById(R.id.save); save.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { if (!enterText.getText().toString().isEmpty()) { File file = new File(MainActivity.this.getFilesDir(), "text"); if (!file.exists()) { file.mkdir(); } try { File gpxfile = new File(file, "sample"); FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(gpxfile); writer.append(enterText.getText().toString()); writer.flush(); writer.close(); Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Saved your text", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } catch (Exception e) { } } } }); } }
Step 4 − Add the following code to manifest.xml
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package = "com.example.andy.myapplication"> <uses-permission android:name = "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <application android:allowBackup = "true" android:icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label = "@string/app_name" android:roundIcon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl = "true" android:theme = "@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name = ".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name = "android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name = "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
