How to create a file in Android?

How to create a file, write data into it and read data from it on Android? If possible provide a code snippet.

//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();}

I used the following code to create a temporary file for writing bytes. And its working fine.

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");
