        }
writer.append("User logged in at :"+formattedDate+"with     username="+username+" with password="+uPass+"\n");
writer.close();

Answer 1

Change method of FileWriter : writer = new FileWriter(f);

java.io.FileWriter.FileWriter(File file, boolean append) throws IOException

ie :

File logFile = new File(getFileName());
FileWriter file = new FileWriter(logFile, true);

true : Allow to appned

Answer 2

You need to open the file in append mode, Which can be achieved by using the FileWriter constructor.

Example

writer= new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(your_file, true));

where true parameter of FileWriter is declaring that is your file will opening in append mode,
