Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick reply and the pointer.
I replaced
new FileWriter("/data/"+fileName)
with
openFileOutput(fileName, 0)
it worked as openFileOutput writes into files (or creates them if they
do not exist) in an application's private storage space. The
documentation for getFilesDir states:
"Returns the absolute path to the directory on the filesystem where
files created with openFileOutput(String, int) are stored. "
