I have the following question. When writing a String to a file the first character seems to be a Nul. I see that if I open the file with Notepad++, there is a black background where "NUL" is written in white. However, I don't really understand why this is happening. The String is transmitted from another device to a tablet running Android on it, afterwards the data should be written to a file. When debugging the code everything looks fine until I'll open the file.

Thanks and cheers pingu

Please could you elaborate on your question and show us your code that is actually doing the writing to the file – TommyBs Apr 14 '15 at 07:27
Your string either starts with or consists solely of a null terminator. Inspect the string you're writing to the file with your debugger. – Bathsheba Apr 14 '15 at 07:29
isn't your string( that you're writing to file ) initialized to null? – Abhinav Gauniyal Apr 14 '15 at 07:30
