I'm creating an app which requires to write a file for every user (in JSON format).
The app successfully creates the file, But it's empty. In the code I added a finer output to see how the converted JSON String looks like, and I noticed that it's complete (it contains everything, so the conversion is ok). But the string isn't present in the file.
//create a new FileWriter C:/.../42.guser
FileWriter writer = null;
//for every User
for(int i=0; i<users.size(); i++) {
try {
File f = new File(Users.usersDir.getPath()+"/"+i+".guser");
//Create new file
f.createNewFile();
writer = new FileWriter(f);
//convert to json and write to file. Here we get the object with KEY = keys[i].
String stringedUsr = gson.toJson(users.get(keys[i]));
logger.finer("Converted user: \""+stringedUsr+"\""); //Output seems ok
//Write (NOT WORKING)
writer.write(stringedUsr);
logger.fine("Wrote updated user \""+keys[i]+"\" to file "+f.getCanonicalPath());
} catch (IOException e) {
FAILS++;
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
//End of for
What am I doing wrong?
Note: i gave to the app all the necessary Permissions. No AccessControlExceptions
First of all think about closing your writer.
When closing, it should flush()
your data first (as mentioned in the doc here)
You can also flush()
manually.
