Ok the files will be small so i'll save them to the app data folder. My next question is where is that folder located and how to I go about saving a file to it? Is there an easy way to just pass the URL for the xml file and have it save or would I need to open a file reader read the file to another document builder and then save it?

You can't write to folders in your project. You app, however, has a dedicated data folder you can read from and write to. Or should I make it to where when you click the Save button it checks for an SD card and if there is and SD card create a folder(if one isn't already there) and save the file in the new folder or save it to the phone? That's up to you, either way works. Though if the file is huge, the SD is a better option. If someone could explain the most efficient way of saving files for my app and how to save the file from the web server I would greatly appreciate the insight. Any tutorial links would be awesome. This is pretty standard Java IO stuff. Look at the Android documentation for how to write to your app's data space and to the SD card, and Google around for Java IO. That should be all you need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
