Question

How to write data from edit text into excel file in android?
I want to bypass data from editText into excel file without opening it from storage. Can i know how to do it?
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final Activity activity = this;
scanBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.BtnScn);
resultSC = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.SC_text);
ExelWrite = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ExelWrite);
SetTemp = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.SetTemp);
scanBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick (View view){
startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),ScanCodeActivity.class));
}
});
ExelWrite.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId())
{
case R.id.ExelWrite:
saveExcelFile(this,"Staff_Temperature.xls");
break;
}
}
private static boolean saveExcelFile(MainActivity context, String fileName) {
// check if available and not read only
if (!isExternalStorageAvailable() || isExternalStorageReadOnly()) {
Log.e(TAG, "Storage not available or read only");
return false;
}
boolean success = false;
This is where I create The workbook for the excel
//New Workbook
Workbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
Cell c = null;
//Cell style for header row'
CellStyle cs = wb.createCellStyle();
cs.setFillForegroundColor(HSSFColor.LIME.index);
cs.setFillPattern(HSSFCellStyle.SOLID_FOREGROUND);
//New Sheet
Sheet sheet1 = null;
sheet1 = wb.createSheet("RiSE");
// Generate column headings
Row row = sheet1.createRow(0);
c = row.createCell(0);
c.setCellValue("Staff Credential");
c.setCellStyle(cs);
c = row.createCell(1);
c.setCellValue("Staff Temperature");
c.setCellStyle(cs);
sheet1.setColumnWidth(0, (15 * 500));
sheet1.setColumnWidth(1, (15 * 500));
This is where I create Path for the file. I think It should be here, but I dont know how to call it
// Create a path where we will place our List of objects on external storage
File file = new File(context.getExternalFilesDir(null), fileName);
FileOutputStream os = null;
try {
os = new FileOutputStream(file);
wb.write(os);
Log.w("FileUtils", "Writing file" + file);
success = true;
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.w("FileUtils", "Error writing " + file, e);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.w("FileUtils", "Failed to save file", e);
} finally {
try {
if (null != os)
os.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
}
return success;
}
