how to save message content to text file

I have an application that reads incoming and outgoing sms. Logcat successfully show recieved and send messages. here is my code. 

  String[] columns = new String[]{"address", "date", "body", "type"};
  String recipient = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[0]));
  String date = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[1]));
  String message = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[2]));
  String type = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[3]));
  Log.d("DetectOutgoingSMS", recipient + " , " + date + " , " + message + " , " +type);

Now I want to save all the above strings to a textfile. I tried below code to write it to text file. 

  try {
FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput("textfile.txt", MODE_PRIVATE);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
//---write the string to the file---
osw.write(message);
osw.close();
//---display file saved message---
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "File saved successfully!",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}

Using this code I am unable to save all strings in one go. An when new message is recieved, previous is deleted from textfile and new messeage is inserted. Any help please.

Do you want to "save" the Strings, or "write" the Strings?

To "Save" the strings you need to use onPause() or onSavedInstanceState(). There are plenty of tutorials online to help you with that, depending on your goal.

To "Write" the Strings all at once you can use this. 

String[] columns = new String[]{"address", "date", "body", "type"};
String recipient = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[0]));
String date = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[1]));
String message = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[2]));
String type = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(columns[3]));
String all = ("OutgoingSMS: " + recipient + " , " + date + " , " + message + " , " +type);

Then replace this

osw.write(message);

with this

osw.write(all);

If you need anything else, or I misunderstood what you need, just ask
