i created a ical file with biweekly. I can write it to /Android/data/applicationfolder/files/Download with the following code:

File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS), "Spiele.ics");

        if (file.exists ())
            file.delete ();
        FileOutputStream outputStream = null;
        try {
            outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file, true);

            Biweekly.write(ical).go(outputStream);
            outputStream.flush();
            outputStream.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

But how do i save it to the standard download folder? I tired some diffrent code with OutputStreamWriter but could not make it happen. Thanks.

In the same way. Only the path is different. – blackapps Jun 02 '20 at 15:36
`I can write it to /Android/data/applicationfolder/files/Download`. That is not the full path. Have a look at file.getAbsolutePath() to know. – blackapps Jun 02 '20 at 15:39
Yes, the path is /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/de.de.myapplication/files/Download/Spiele.ics But how to change it? – Philipe Jun 02 '20 at 15:58
Are you telling that you dont know the full path to the Download directory? – blackapps Jun 02 '20 at 16:18
No i dont know how to set the path. – Philipe Jun 02 '20 at 20:05
with ```String setpath = "/sdcard/Download";``` and ```File file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(setpath), "Spiele.ics");``` It doesnt work. – Philipe Jun 02 '20 at 20:11
This just adds the folders to the application folder – Philipe Jun 02 '20 at 20:20
Yes. That you did wrong indeed. – blackapps Jun 02 '20 at 20:39
Yeah i figured that Out... Maybe you could Help me! – Philipe Jun 02 '20 at 20:52
So you did not try File file = new File("/sdcard/Download/Spiele.ics"); ? Or getExternalStorageDirectory() ? – blackapps Jun 03 '20 at 10:09
Still dont work: with File file = new File("/sdcard/Download/Spiele.ics"); the i can not find the file in the file explorer. – Philipe Jun 03 '20 at 16:02
