Hi all, I have made a simple game application that saves to a file named "scores.txt" (no prizes for guessing what it saves there..). The activity containing the actual game does the saving, and I am trying to access the file and display its contents from the main menu activity.
However when I attempt to open the file I get the error: 11-28 17:13:59.617: ERROR/I/O ERROR(193): Error when trying to access scores.txt - java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. I'm not sure what this means, as I get this error whether I have gone straight to open the scores.txt file, or I have played the game first, then tried to open the file. If it is relevant, I have used mode 0, or MODE_PRIVATE on the fileoutputstream in the "game" activity, however I don't think this should make much difference as I am told by the documentation that: "File creation mode: the default mode, where the created file can only be accessed by the calling application (or all applications sharing the same user ID)." Though I am in a different activity, the application remains the same... Any help would be much appreciated! :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
