Possible Duplicate:
Android write to sd card folder

Writing a File with this Code:

public void writeFile(String data){
try { // catches IOException below
final String TESTSTRING = new String(data+"-");


String path=Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()
    + "/test.txt";
FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput(path,
                                        MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut); 

// Write the string to the file
osw.write(TESTSTRING);
/* ensure that everything is
 * really written out and close */
osw.flush();
osw.close();

}catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Error Generated by Above Code:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File /sdcard/test.txt contains a path separator  

I couldn’t find what’s wrong with this code.

    openFileOuput() doesn’t accept paths, only a file name.
