Some follow up.
I'm actually reading the bytes to put into the file off the internet
through a socket. When I open the file for writing, I get this in the
DDMS log:
04-09 02:04:35.154: ERROR/SOCKETLOG(323): add_recv_stats recv 0
04-09 02:04:36.684: INFO/global(323): Apr 9, 2009 2:04:36 AM
java.io.BufferedWriter init
04-09 02:04:36.684: INFO/global(323): INFO: Default buffer size used
in BufferedWriter constructor. It would be better to be explicit if a
8k-char buffer is required.
04-09 02:04:37.013: DEBUG/dalvikvm(323): GC freed 7437 objects /
455888 bytes in 197ms
What I don't get is the fact that earlier today this was working
perfectly. And, also the following little program works just fine:
package com.android.test;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class FileTester extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try{
File outFile = new File(/sdcard/text-myfile.txt);
if (!outFile.exists()){
outFile.createNewFile();
}
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
out.write(Hello World!.getBytes());
out.close();
}catch (IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Oh, and one other very weird thing: When I write the data to a
FileOutputStream that was created using Context.openFileOutput(), the
file is created just fine (in the application's files directory).
H..
I need to save to /sdcard

Problem solved. There was nothing wrong - it was a permissions problem.
