¿Cómo crear un archivo en Android?

¿Cómo crear un archivo, escribir datos en él y leer datos de él en Android? Si es posible, proporcione un fragmento de código.

//Writing a file...  



try { 
       // catches IOException below
       final String TESTSTRING = new String("Hello Android");

       /* We have to use the openFileOutput()-method
       * the ActivityContext provides, to
       * protect your file from others and
       * This is done for security-reasons.
       * We chose MODE_WORLD_READABLE, because
       *  we have nothing to hide in our file */             
       FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput("samplefile.txt",
                                                            MODE_PRIVATE);
       OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut); 

       // Write the string to the file
       osw.write(TESTSTRING);

       /* ensure that everything is
        * really written out and close */
       osw.flush();
       osw.close();

//Reading the file back...

       /* We have to use the openFileInput()-method
        * the ActivityContext provides.
        * Again for security reasons with
        * openFileInput(...) */

        FileInputStream fIn = openFileInput("samplefile.txt");
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fIn);

        /* Prepare a char-Array that will
         * hold the chars we read back in. */
        char[] inputBuffer = new char[TESTSTRING.length()];

        // Fill the Buffer with data from the file
        isr.read(inputBuffer);

        // Transform the chars to a String
        String readString = new String(inputBuffer);

        // Check if we read back the same chars that we had written out
        boolean isTheSame = TESTSTRING.equals(readString);

        Log.i("File Reading stuff", "success = " + isTheSame);

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

Usé el siguiente código para crear un archivo temporal para escribir bytes. Y está funcionando bien.

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + File.separator + "test.txt");
file.createNewFile();
byte[] data1={1,1,0,0};
//write the bytes in file
if(file.exists())
{
     OutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(file);              
     fo.write(data1);
     fo.close();
     System.out.println("file created: "+file);
}               

//deleting the file             
file.delete();
System.out.println("file deleted");

Decidí escribir una clase de este hilo que podría ser útil para otros. Tenga en cuenta que actualmente está destinado a escribir solo en el directorio "archivos" (por ejemplo, no escribe en rutas "sdcard").

Escriba en un archivo test.txt:

String filepath ="/mnt/sdcard/test.txt";
FileOutputStream fos = null;
try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream(filepath);
        byte[] buffer = "This will be writtent in test.txt".getBytes();
        fos.write(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
        fos.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    }finally{
        if(fos != null)
            fos.close();
    }

Leer del archivo test.txt:

String filepath ="/mnt/sdcard/test.txt";        
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
       fis = new FileInputStream(filepath);
       int length = (int) new File(filepath).length();
       byte[] buffer = new byte[length];
       fis.read(buffer, 0, length);
       fis.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    }finally{
        if(fis != null)
            fis.close();
   }
