Saving with filewriter; no data written to file and exceptions

Question

I have tried dealing with the exceptions for this by myself. I cant get rid of my null pointer exception and i think i got lost. Also, as it stands, a file gets saved but no data gets saved to that file. I know i shouldnt use a try and catch method for a NULL point exception but i dont think i had a choice because i had to handle other exceptions too, and i cant use an array list because i have been stated to use an array. This is the code anyways and hopefully you can help me onto the right tracks. Cheers.
private void SaveJButtonActionPerformed( ActionEvent event )
          String fileName=new String("");
          fileName=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("SAVE AS?");
          Album[] printList = myList.getList();
          int i=0;
     for (i=0; i<6; i++)
          try
               if (printList[i] != null) //checks to see if array item isnt empty
                   final FileWriter outputFile = new FileWriter(fileName);
                    final BufferedWriter outputBuffer = new BufferedWriter(outputFile);
                    final PrintWriter printstream = new PrintWriter(outputBuffer);
                    for (i=0; i<6; i++)
                    printstream.println(printList.printData());
                    printstream.close();
               else
          System.out.println("");
     catch (FileNotFoundException e)
               System.err.println("FileNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage());
               throw new RuntimeException(e);
     catch (IOException e)
               System.err.println("Caught IOException: "+ e.getMessage());

Answer 1

you should probably be using
for (i=0; i<printList.length; i++)
also, do you really want to print the same thing 6 times in each file?
for (i=0; i<6; i++)
printstream.println(printList.printData());
