I noticed that using the standard Java to create the new file stalls:
File UIDfile = new File(/data/local/tmp/myUID.txt);
UIDfile.createNewFile();
Is this something that should not be used in Android? Anyone
else faced this issue before? Should I convert these to:
FileOutputStream fos =

You cannot write to
That's what I figured - thanks Mark. I think it makes more sense now.
Regarding the emulator's storage, if I wanted to manually add a file
let's say
into the sdcard dir, is this possible (in other words is this a real
file system
dir or a simulated entity?).
Thanks again

The Environment.getExternalFilesDir() does return /sdcard and although
empty it still stalls on writing the file out. What package carries
the getFilesDir()?

I have no idea what stalls means in this context. You need an SD
card (or SD card image for the emulator),
Sorry for not being clear from the start Mark - my bad.
When the app reaches the createNewFile() method it quits (I thought
it was stalling on that method but I was wrong). I think that method
is the problem in my case.
I did use adb push to copy files to the emulator's filesystem so
that

OK, then I have no idea what quits means in this context. I am going
to guess you mean it had an unhandled exception. If so, use adb
logcat, DDMS, or the DDMS

You are right, most likely I should be able to find a lot of these

One last thing - extending my question from the previous email -
may be this is what I should have asked to begin with and left it
at that:
Since I can compile my complete imported app as an Android project
it makes sense that the classes and methods I used in the past

If you are catching IOException, a NullPointerException will slip right
through. Happens sometimes (i.e. file open returns null, and subsequent
code tries to write to it).
Have you checked the logcat to see what goes on?
Also note, if a crash happens while debugging, you have to hit Resume

That's...very strange.
Yes it is - but hey, I am sure what I learn from getting to
