FileNotFoundException when attempting to save android game

[ConnorSG1]

When I click the button to save my android game, I get a FileNotFoundException I cant understand why as the exact same code worked in my previous (non - android) version. Thanks a million in advance for any help

   public void saveGame(Player user)
   {
      
      FileOutputStream saveStream;

      ObjectOutputStream savePlayerObject = null;

      String destinationFile = user.getName() + ".txt";

      try
      {
         saveStream = new FileOutputStream(destinationFile);

         savePlayerObject = new ObjectOutputStream(saveStream);

         savePlayerObject.writeObject(user);
      }//end of try;


      catch(FileNotFoundException ex)
      {
         Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Save Failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
         toast.show();
      }//end of catch statement;


      catch(IOException ex)
      {
         Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Save Failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
         toast.show();
      }//end of catch statement;

      finally
      {
         try
         {

            if(savePlayerObject !=null)
            {
               savePlayerObject.flush();

               savePlayerObject.close();

               Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Thank-You For Playing, See You Soon", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
               toast.show();

               System.exit(0);

            }//end of if-statement;
         }//end of try statement;


         catch(IOException ex)
         {
            Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "Save Failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
            toast.show();
         }//end of catch statement;
      }//end of finally statement;
   }//end of method;

If you were originally running this code on a Windows system, and now you are trying to use the same code on the Android platform, the location of the File you are trying to reach would have changed, right? Is the file on the SD card? If it is you can use the following call to get the root of the SD Card:

File f = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();

Sorry I should have said, I am just running the code on an android simulator in my windows laptop

I believe there is a tool in the Android SDK called mksdcard that you have to use to create an SD Card image for your emulator to use. Check out the Android forum here.
