Can not create files from the application. You can however interact with an existing file. For this purpose you should:

Create in your project, in the desired place the file that you will use from the application.

After the file you created, you can use a function like the one below to save data in it:

public void CreatePropertiesFile(Context context) {

  Properties prop = new Properties();
  String propertiesPath = context.getFilesDir().getPath().toString() + "/app.properties";

  try {
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(propertiesPath);
    prop.setProperty("HomeVersion", "0");
    prop.setProperty("DatePlaySquare", "0");
    prop.setProperty("CustomerID", "0");
    prop.setProperty("DeviceToken", "0");
    prop.setProperty("CurrentVersionMobile", "0");
    prop.setProperty("Domain", "Megazy");
    prop.setProperty("DownloadNewVersion","0");
    prop.store(out, null);
    out.close();
  } catch (IOException e) {
    System.err.println("Failed to open app.properties file");
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

You should adapt the function to your needs, but you already have an idea of how you can perform the operation.

This is just an example taken from this answer in SOEN by using @ user3113670.

Another good example can be found in this answer also in SOEN by the user @Javanator.

Knowing

On Android, when we talk about saving data, we're almost always talking about Data Storage more specifically Shared Preferences . There is a very good tutorial on this:
