Thanks for the suggestion. I have the following in my manifest file <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_INTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
I am quite confident that I am writing to the write location because it works when I run on the emulator. I think it may be a permissions issue when running on my snowball board, or maybe due to a different versions of android.
