Question: When executing:

```
path=os.path.dirname(__file__)+'/log.txt'
log=open(path,"w",encoding='utf-8')

```

I get:

```
log=open(path,'w',encoding='utf-8')
File "C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\dev_appserver.py", line 1203, in __init__
raise IOError('invalid mode: %s' % mode)
IOError: invalid mode: w

```

I'm not sure why I can't write to the file?

Answer: 
Just for reference, this works:

```
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;

public class MediaPlayer extends Activity {

public static final String SERVICECMD = "com.android.music.musicservicecommand";
public static final String CMDNAME = "command";
public static final String CMDTOGGLEPAUSE = "togglepause";
public static final String CMDSTOP = "stop";
public static final String CMDPAUSE = "pause";
public static final String CMDPREVIOUS = "previous";
public static final String CMDNEXT = "next";
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
IntentFilter iF = new IntentFilter();
iF.addAction("com.android.music.metachanged");
iF.addAction("com.android.music.playstatechanged");
iF.addAction("com.android.music.playbackcomplete");
iF.addAction("com.android.music.queuechanged");

registerReceiver(mReceiver, iF);
}

private BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
String action = intent.getAction();
String cmd = intent.getStringExtra("command");
Log.d("mIntentReceiver.onReceive ", action + " / " + cmd);
String artist = intent.getStringExtra("artist");
String album = intent.getStringExtra("album");
String track = intent.getStringExtra("track");
Log.d("Music",artist+":"+album+":"+track);
}
};
}

```
There is no [documented method](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html) for getting info on the currently playing file from a MediaPlayer instance, you'll need to make your app store that information itself in another way. If you're using a Service to keep track of your MediaPlayer instance (which I'd recommend) then this shouldn't be too hard.
