Transfer App to Samsung Galaxy Tab issue

Question

I have been developing an application on the HTC desire. It runs fine. The application when a button is clicked downloads a file from the my web server and saves it onto the SD card.

I now want to run this application on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. However, is crashes when i click on the button.

The only reason i can see is that the tab is not allowing access to the SD Card. It is the same SD Card i had in the HTC Deisre phone and it is not write protected or anything?

Anyone know what can be wrong?

This is the code i am using to download a file and store it on the card...

 class CreatefilesTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Integer, Boolean> {
    protected Boolean doInBackground(Object... arg0) {
        try{
            URL url  = new URL("http://213.143.36.32/file.csv");
            URLConnection conexion = url.openConnection();
            conexion.connect();
            int lenghtOfFile = conexion.getContentLength();
            InputStream is = url.openStream();
            File testDirectory = 
            new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/File");
            if(!testDirectory.exists()){
                testDirectory.mkdir();
            }
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(testDirectory+"/file.csv");
            byte data[] = new byte[1024];
            int count = 0;
            long total = 0;
            int progress = 0;
            while ((count=is.read(data)) != -1){
                total += count;
                int progress_temp = (int)total*100/lenghtOfFile;
                if(progress_temp%10 == 0 && progress != progress_temp){
                    progress = progress_temp;
                }
                fos.write(data, 0, count);
            }
            is.close();
            fos.close();
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

This works fine on the Desire.

Answer 1

I guess that this line causes the trouble:

new FileOutputStream(testDirectory+"/file.csv");

You create a directory file first, but according to your stacktrace, you try to access file.csv on the root of the sdcard. So I guess that the you can't simply append a file.csv to your testDirectory variable of type File.
