java - Adding new lines of text in a text file -

my app records sounds. once sound recorded, user asked input new file name. i'm trying next add file names in text file can read later array make listview.

this code:

//this in oncreate file recordedfiles = new file(externalstoragepath + file.separator + "/android/data/com.whizzappseasyvoicenotepad/recorded files.txt"); if(!recordedfiles.exists())     {             try {                 recordedfiles.createnewfile();             } catch (ioexception e) {                 // todo auto-generated catch block                 e.printstacktrace();             }     } //this executes everytime text entered , button clicked try {             string content = input.gettext().tostring();             filewriter fw = new filewriter(recordedfiles.getabsolutefile());             bufferedwriter bw = new bufferedwriter(fw);             bw.write(">" + content + ".mp3");             bw.close();             } catch (ioexception e) {                 e.printstacktrace();             } 

now problem everytime record new file, previous line overwritten. if record 2 files 'text1' , 'text2', after i've recorded text1, txt file show text1, after recorded text2, text2 overwrite text1 instead of inserting new line.

i tried adding:

bw.newline() 

before

bw.write(">" + content + ".mp3"); 

but doesn't work.

if record 3 sounds , name them sound1, sound2 , sound3, want result:

>sound1 >sound2 >sound3 

use filewriter constructor boolean append argument

filewriter fw = new filewriter(recordedfiles.getabsolutefile(), true); //                                                              ^^^^ 

this let file append text @ end instead overwriting previous content.
