How to overwrite one property in .properties without overwriting the whole file?

The Properties API doesn’t provide any methods for adding/replacing/removing a property in the properties file. The model that the API supports is to load all of the properties from a file, make changes to the in-memory Properties object, and then store all of the properties to a file (the same one or a different one). … Read more

FileOutputStream crashes with “open failed: EISDIR (Is a directory)” error when downloading image

3.png is a directory, because you make it so by calling f.mkdirs();. Try f.getParentFile().mkdirs() instead. From the documentation: Creates the directory named by this abstract pathname, including any necessary but nonexistent parent directories. Note that if this operation fails it may have succeeded in creating some of the necessary parent directories. (emphasis mine). In other … Read more

Get file name from FileOutputStream

Looks like the answer is no: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/index.html?java/io/FileOutputStream.html There are no public methods that return the File or String used in construction of the stream. EDIT: The same holds for FileInputStream.

At what point does wrapping a FileOutputStream with a BufferedOutputStream make sense, in terms of performance?

BufferedOutputStream helps when the writes are smaller than the buffer size e.g. 8 KB. For larger writes it doesn’t help nor does it make it much worse. If ALL your writes are larger than the buffer size or you always flush() after every write, I would not use a buffer. However if a good portion … Read more

Android Error – Open Failed ENOENT

With sdk, you can’t write to the root of internal storage. This causes your error. Based on your code, to use internal storage with sdk: final File dir = new File(context.getFilesDir() + “/nfs/guille/groce/users/nicholsk/workspace3/SQLTest”); dir.mkdirs(); //create folders where write files final File file = new File(dir, “BlockForTest.txt”);

file.delete() returns false even though file.exists(), file.canRead(), file.canWrite(), file.canExecute() all return true

Another bug in Java. I seldom find them, only my second in my 10 year career. This is my solution, as others have mentioned. I have nether used System.gc(). But here, in my case, it is absolutely crucial. Weird? YES! finally { try { in.close(); in = null; out.flush(); out.close(); out = null; System.gc(); } … Read more

Java FileOutputStream Create File if not exists

It will throw a FileNotFoundException if the file doesn’t exist and cannot be created (doc), but it will create it if it can. To be sure you probably should first test that the file exists before you create the FileOutputStream (and create with createNewFile() if it doesn’t): File yourFile = new File(“score.txt”); yourFile.createNewFile(); // if … Read more
