CSV format:

Excel format is not documented by Microsoft (AFAIK). This reference seems useful:

If you just need to export some table-type data into Excel, CSV is definitely easier to implement.

There is no standard "save as" dialog in Android, so if you need to let the user pick file save location, either write that code yourself, or use PICK_FILE intent, supported by several applications (that the user would need to install):

Hi,

I am making an activity where we need to save a file in the .xls/.csv format at a user defined location.

How could this be implemented ? Pointers would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Cuil
