Android Application that writes

data to the SD Card

Aim:
To develop a Android Application that writes data to the SD Card.

Procedure:
Creating a New project:
 Open Android Studio and then click on File -> New -> New
project.

 Then type the Application name as “ex.no.9″ and click Next.

 Then select the Minimum SDK as shown below and
click Next.

 Then select the Empty Activity and click Next.

 Finally click Finish.

 It will take some time to build and load the project.

 After completion it will look as given below.
Designing layout for the Android
Application:
 Click on app -> res -> layout -> activity_main.xml.

 Now click on Text as shown below.

 Then delete the code which is there and type the code as given
below.
Code for Activity_main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:orientation="vertical">

<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="30dp" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="Write Data"
android:textSize="30dp" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/button2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="Read data"
android:textSize="30dp" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/button3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="Clear"
 android:textSize="30dp" />

</LinearLayout>
 Now click on Design and your application will look as given
below.

 So now the designing part is completed.

Adding permissions in Manifest for the
Android Application:
 Click on app -> manifests -> AndroidManifest.xml

 Now include the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions

in the AndroidManifest.xml file as shown below
Code for AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.exno9" >

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></us

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
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>

 So now the Permissions are added in the Manifest.

Java Coding for the Android
Application:
 Click on app -> java -> com.example.exno9 ->
MainActivity.
 Then delete the code which is there and type the code as given
below.
Code for MainActivity.java:

package com.example.exno9;

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.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity

{
EditText e1;
Button write,read,clear;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

e1= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);

write= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
read= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
clear= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);

write.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
String message=e1.getText().toString();
 try
{
File f=new File("/sdcard/myfile.txt");
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fout=new FileOutputStream(f);
fout.write(message.getBytes());
fout.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Data Written in SDCARD",Toas
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),e.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_L
}
}
});

read.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
String message;
String buf = "";
try
{
File f = new File("/sdcard/myfile.txt");
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(f
while ((message = br.readLine()) != null)
{
buf += message;
}
e1.setText(buf);
br.close();
fin.close();
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Data Recived from SDCARD",To
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH
}
}
});

clear.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
e1.setText("");
}
});
}
}
 So now the Coding part is also completed.
 Now run the application to see the output.
Output:

Result:
Thus Android Application that writes data to the SD Card is
developed and executed successfully.
