<p >Android provides many kinds of storage for applications to store their data. These storage places are shared preferences, internal and external storage, SQLite storage, and storage via network connection.</p> <p >In this chapter we are going to look at the internal storage. Internal storage is the storage of the private data on the device memory.</p> <p >By default these files are private and are accessed by only your application and get deleted , when user delete your application.</p> <h2 >Writing file</h2> <p >In order to use internal storage to write some data in the file, call the openFileOutput() method with the name of the file and the mode. The mode could be private , public e.t.c. Its syntax is given below &minus;</p> <pre class="prettyprint notranslate prettyprinted" > <span class="typ" >FileOutputStream</span><span class="pln" > fOut </span><span class="pun" >=</span><span class="pln" > openFileOutput</span><span class="pun" >(</span><span class="str" >&quot;file name here&quot;</span><span class="pun" >,</span><span class="pln" >MODE_WORLD_READABLE</span><span class="pun" >);</span></pre> <p >The method openFileOutput() returns an instance of FileOutputStream. So you receive it in the object of FileInputStream. After that you can call write method to write data on the file.
