How to Read and Write to a csv file in Android?

Question

I want to store 8 integers into a .csv file(the filename will be taken as an input from a EditText) and retrieve them when I want to.

Answer 1

To get the filename you can use this:

EditText fileNameEdit= (EditText) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.fileName);
String fileName = fileNameEdit.getText().toString();

Then write the file on disk:

try {
    String content = "Separe here integers by semi-colon";
    File file = new File(fileName +".csv");
    // if file doesnt exists, then create it
    if (!file.exists()) {
       file.createNewFile();
    }

    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file.getAbsoluteFile());
    BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
    bw.write(content);
    bw.close();

} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

To read the file:

BufferedReader br = null; 
try {
  String sCurrentLine;
  br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName+".csv"));
  while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(sCurrentLine);
  }
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
  try {
     if (br != null)br.close();
  } catch (IOException ex) {
     ex.printStackTrace();
  }
}

Then to have the Integers you can use split function:

String[] intArray = sCurrentLine.split(";");
