So far i didnt get to hear from anyone,,so ,, i m still struggling
alone.....

Now i am trying to open the virtual file at bootup and reload it with
the byte stream..... However I am only able to open the virtual file
for reading and not for writing.... I think i need to change the
permissions..... How do i do that ?? Please help..

The reading code is as follows: // NO BREAKAGE

byte[] buffer1 = new byte[100];
BufferedReader reader = null;
                try{
                        reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader 
("/sys/class/lightsensor/
switch_cmd/lightsensor_file_cmd"));
                        Log.d(TAG,"Opened the SAVED virtual file");
                }catch(IOException e){
                        Log.d(TAG,"Problem opening the SAVED virtual file");
                }
                try{
                        Log.d(TAG, "Buffer read from virtual file 
="+reader.readLine());
                        Log.d(TAG,"Read the SAVED virtual file");
                        reader.close();
                }catch(IOException e){
                        Log.d(TAG,"Problem reading the SAVED virtual file");
                }

*************************************************

for writing i use the following code: // BREAKAGE WHILE OPENING THE
FILE???????

byte[] buffer = new byte[100];
buffer[0] = '1';
OutputStream out = null;
try{
                Log.d(TAG, "OPENING the virtual file");
                out = new FileOutputStream(new File("/sys/class/
lightsensor/switch_cmd/lightsensor_file_cmd"));
   }catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    Log.d(TAG,"Problem in Opening the virtual file for 
writing"); //
THIS LOG IS DISPLAYED
   }

try {
        Log.d(TAG, "WRITING -> Virtual file");
                out.write(buffer);
    } catch (IOException e){
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Log.d(TAG,"Problem in Writing in the Virtual file");
   }
