Saving file to computer

[sirlink99]

I am trying to save an image with this line

ImageIO.write(image, "JPG", new File(fileDestination.getText()));

but it is giving me an error.

The user inputs the spot where they want to save the file to (using a JFileChooser).

I believe my error is that I do not have permission to write files to a computer. I have tried several ways of getting permission to write to the computer using SecurityManager.

could some one help me out?

Thanks

I think you are choosing a directory.

[NormR1]

Get this into a String and print it out:
fileDestination.getText()

[sirlink99]

It most likely was, but it still doesn't show the directory that the user is currently in. Secondly I have never even seen or heard of that website before. They must have copied my post -_-

I have written to the file successfully before, I just need to fil in the directory that I am currently in.

My newest code looks like this. I tried implementing the security manager to get access to write to a directory. I just tried writing to the directory I tried to write to before, and it works now, so just ignore the security manager.

else if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Save Image")){
			name = nameField.getText();
			SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
//			sm.checkPermission(new FilePermission (fileDestination.getText(), null));
			try {
				ImageIO.write(image, "JPG", new File((fileDestination.getText())+ "\\" + name + ".jpg"));
			} catch (IOException ex) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				ex.printStackTrace();
			}
		}

Now my question is why does it not display the current directory that the user is in?

[NormR1]

why does it not display the current directory that the user is in

How is it supposed to display anything without a println statement? Can you explain?

For debugging purposes, build the full filename in a String and print it before using it in the write() method.

[sirlink99]

I figured it out. I had to get the directory, and then add in a backslash and then get the selected file. that part of the code now looks like this

String directory = fc.getCurrentDirectory().toString() + "\\" + fc.getName(fc.getSelectedFile());

[NormR1]

Instead of using the backslashes, use the path separator variable defined in the File class.
