This is the code to save the file.

//Opening the notes file to be write.
    String notes_str = "<resource></resource>"
FileOutputStream notes_file = openFileOutput("notes.xml", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

//Converting to string the notes_doc
String notes_str = new menu.menuapp.general().xmltostring(notes_doc);
//Saving on the file
notes_file.write(notes_str.getBytes());
//Closing the file.
notes_file.close();

This is the code to open the file.

File file = new File("notes.xml");
FileInputStream notes_xml = new FileInputStream(file);
byte fileContent[] = new byte[(int)notes_xml.available()];
//The information will be content on the buffer.

notes_xml.read(fileContent);

String strContent = new String(fileContent);
    notes_xml.close();

    You are not specifying the path correctly when you open the file for read. The constructor you use for File requires a full path, not just a file name.

    If you write the file with openFileOutput(), then I suggest you read it back with openFileInput(). That way you’re more likely to get all the parameters right.

    For more guidance on reading and writing files, see here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal

    Also, your filename is different when reading and writing. You should define that in a string resource or at least a static final.
