import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.microedition.io.*;
public class FC extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
private Command exit, start;
private Display display;
private Form form;
public FC()
{
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
exit = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1);
start = new Command("Start", Command.EXIT, 1);
form = new Form("Write To File");
form.addCommand(exit);
form.addCommand(start);
form.setCommandListener(this);
}
public void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException
{
display.setCurrent(form);
}
public void pauseApp()
{
}
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
{
}
public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable)
{
if (command == exit)
{
destroyApp(false);
notifyDestroyed();
}
else if (command == start)
{
try
{
OutputConnection connection = (OutputConnection)
Connector.open("file://c:/myfile.txt;append=true", Connector.WRITE );
OutputStream out = connection.openOutputStream();
PrintStream output = new PrintStream( out );
output.println( "This is a test." );
out.close();
connection.close();
Alert alert = new Alert("Completed", "Data Written", null, null);
alert.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
alert.setType(AlertType.ERROR);
display.setCurrent(alert);
}
catch( ConnectionNotFoundException error )
{
Alert alert = new Alert(
"Error", "Cannot access file.", null, null);
alert.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
alert.setType(AlertType.ERROR);
display.setCurrent(alert);
}
catch( IOException error )
{
Alert alert = new Alert("Error", error.toString(), null, null);
alert.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
alert.setType(AlertType.ERROR);
display.setCurrent(alert);
}
}
}

Connector.open("file://c:/myfile.txt;append=true", Connector.WRITE );

This won't work. MIDlets don't support the file:// scheme. Besides, what device has a "c:" drive? Where did you expect that file to go?

To store data from a MIDlet, use J2ME's Record Management System (RMS).

am using just j2me emulator to write to a file in my c drive......this example is from j2me complete reference.....anyways i will try RMS thanks

hi
your question is write u can use that file connector. but that is supported by the new version of the sun j2me toolkit. that program u can run that and that file will be store on appdb folder of the toolkit,

I hope m clear.
