Thank you. I have tried to do what you wrote. Not sure if I did it right because I still get a problem. When I put String TESTSTRING = bodyText.getText (); inside of the onClick method I get a red line under bodyText.getText(). If i hold my mouse over it suggests me to change String TESTSTRING do Editable TESTSTRING. If i do that osw.write is wrong and wants to change TESTSTRING to an int.
Any suggestions?
