Answer 1

Try This :

1. Check External storage device
2. Write File
3. Read File

public class WriteSDCard extends Activity {

    private static final String TAG = "MEDIA";
    private TextView tv;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
        checkExternalMedia();
        writeToSDFile();
        readRaw();
    }

    /**
     * Method to check whether external media available and writable. This is
     * adapted from
     * http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html
     * #filesExternal
     */
    private void checkExternalMedia() {
        boolean mExternalStorageAvailable = false;
        boolean mExternalStorageWriteable = false;
        String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
        if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
            // Can read and write the media
            mExternalStorageAvailable = mExternalStorageWriteable = true;
        } else if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)) {
            // Can only read the media
            mExternalStorageAvailable = true;
            mExternalStorageWriteable = false;
        } else {
            // Can't read or write
            mExternalStorageAvailable = mExternalStorageWriteable = false;
        }
        tv.append("\n\nExternal Media: readable=" + mExternalStorageAvailable
            + " writable=" + mExternalStorageWriteable);
    }

    /**
     * Method to write ascii text characters to file on SD card. Note that you
     * must add a WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to the manifest file or this
     * method will throw a FileNotFound Exception because you won't have write
     * permission.
     */
    private void writeToSDFile() {
        // Find the root of the external storage.
        // See http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-

        // See
        // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3551821/android-write-to-sd-card-folder
        File dir = new File(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/download");
        dir.mkdirs();
        File file = new File(dir, "myData.txt");
        try {
            FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(file);
            PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(f);
            pw.println("Hi , How are you");
            pw.println("Hello");

    }

    /**
     * Method to read in a text file placed in the res/raw directory of the

     */
    private void readRaw() {
        tv.append("\nData read from res/raw/textfile.txt:");
        InputStream is = this.getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.textfile);
