java IO question -

im trying "submit" button save gui in text file, ive made gui , button listener etc im having trouble making method saves information gui text file.

so far have

public void save(){ file k1 = new file("documents/"+"newfile.txt"); try {  k1.createnewfile();  filewriter kwriter = new filewriter(k1);  bufferedwriter bwriter = new bufferedwriter(kwriter);   bwriter.write(txtfield1.gettext().trim());  bwriter.newline();   bwriter.close();  } catch (ioexception e) {   e.printstacktrace(); } } 

but doesnt seem work, nothing happens. there im missing?

i think there easier way, example have jfilechoser open "save box" when "submit" button pressed there easier way create file (saving gui infomation in txt file) ?

this continuation on previous question. should selected file , write of writer, printwriter.

file file = filechooser.getselectedfile(); printwriter writer = new printwriter(file); try {     writer.println(txtfield1.gettext().trim());     writer.flush(); } {     writer.close(); } 

don't overcomplicate creating new file() on different location , calling file#createfile(). writing sufficient.

package com.example;  import java.awt.desktop; import java.io.file; import java.io.ioexception; import java.io.printwriter;  import javax.swing.jfilechooser;  public class test {      public static void main(string[] args) throws ioexception {         jfilechooser filechooser = new jfilechooser();         if (filechooser.showsavedialog(null) == jfilechooser.approve_option) {             file file = filechooser.getselectedfile();             printwriter writer = new printwriter(file);             try {                 writer.println("hello");                 writer.flush();             } {                 writer.close();             }             desktop.getdesktop().open(file);         }     }  }
