Error when creating text file through Java

[Wozzer]

I'm using the metadata extractor API to print out all the metadata from an image taken on my phone. As part of my program, I want to allow the user to extract all this information into a text file.

I know the information is printing out correctly as I have done a simple system.out statement to make sure it's printing something.

As requested, the errors I receive are:

I did think it was something between conflicting variable types so I created a string like so:

String report = "Report: " + Metadata.alltags();

But that only returned the string "Report"......

Any ideas on how to solve the issue.

Can you post all your code?

It looks like your sending something null to the java.io.Writer after a mouse click.

Hi Kreij,

I could PM you a pastebin link?

 

[Kreij]

I got your PM, Woz ... let's start there with that code.

Reinstall/update your Java RTE...
