Writing String to Text File

Question

I am saving a log to a .txt file on the sdcard but once there is two lines saved, it overwrites it and starts over?

Here is my code:

public static Strin

You can simply use FileWriter without all the chained other writers. Be sure to call flush(), as this ensures to write all buffered contents to the file.
If this still doesn't work, check you error output.

public static void writeToLog(Context context, String string) {
    String text = getTimestamp() + " " + string + "\n"; //newline here

    Writer out;
    try {
        out = new FileWriter(logFile, true);
        out.append(text);
        out.flush();        //ensure that all buffered characters are written to the target
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.d(Constants.APP_NAME, e.toString());
    } finally {
        if (out != null) {
            out.close();    //ensure writer is closed
        }
    }
}
