I try this file writer/reader code segment for test:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "LM/lm_lisdat_01.txt");
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
outputStream.write(("test").getBytes());
outputStream.close();

File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(null), "LM/lm_lisdat_01.txt");
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file)));

In the 4. row i got this error message below but the "lm_lisdat_01.txt" file was created in LM directory:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/hu.abisoft.lm/files/LM/lm_lisdat_01.txt: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Can help anyone for answer this (i think simple) question? I'm newby in Android. Thank you!

You are creating the file in one directory and trying to open it for input in another.

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() is /storage/emulated/0

getExternalFilesDir(null) is /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/hu.abisoft.lm/files

Use the same directory for file creation and input.
