I've got it working now, I used this code to finish it: FileInputStream fIn = openFileInput("news.txt"); InputStreamReader isr = null; char[] inputBuffer = new char[255]; String data = null;
try{ isr = new InputStreamReader(fIn); isr.read(inputBuffer); data = new String(inputBuffer); Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Settings read",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Settings not read",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } finally { try { isr.close(); fIn.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } setContentView(R.layout.latestnews); TextView tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.somenews); tv.setText(data); Thanks very much for all your help. It is much appreciated.
