Can't read files on android
  • I'm trying to make a simple quick reference app for android. All it would have to do is read some text from a file and show it in a window. I build it for desktop and it ran fine but after building the android version I ran into some trouble. Eclipse wont let me make the apk file because it has some issue with the code responsible for reading the text.

    Heres the screenshot of what I got done and where I had trouble:

    On a unrelated note I learned today that E17 is great for two monitor setups.
    But back to the problem, I'm not much of a programmer and don't know much java but changing "if (in) {" to "if (in!=null) {" seems to fix the first problem. The second problem looks like just a typo, initiated variable is called input and BufferedReader() is calling inputreader. I can't seem to find the solution for third error. Eclipse says that it's a type mismatch but that does not seem right.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
  • I tried to get that fixed but with my limited knowledge of programing I can't seem to be able to do so. Could anyone please take a look at this and help me out? I would love to have a proof of concept app done this weekend but without this basic function I'm not able to do anything.
  • Can you upload your output? Or your ISC file? Maybe on Rapidshare or something like that. I'll look into it. (Not sure I can fix the bug tough.)
