I know this question is a little old but it provided me with the answer to the same question. I've cleaned up the code a little and done away with the need to write a csv file altogether by getting my database helper class to return me an ArrayList. Still using Apache POI though.

File folder =new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+APP_FILES_PATH);
    if(!folder.exists())
    {
        folder.mkdir();
    }
    DatabaseHelper dbHelper = DatabaseHelper.getInstance(context);
    ArrayList exts = dbHelper.getExtinguisherArray(1);

       HSSFWorkbook hwb = new HSSFWorkbook();
        HSSFSheet sheet = hwb.createSheet("extinguishers");
        for(int x = 0; x < exts.size(); x++)
        {
            String[] arr = exts.get(x);
            HSSFRow row = sheet.createRow(x);
            for(int i = 0; i< arr.length; i++)
            {
                HSSFCell cell = row.createCell(i);
                String data = arr[i];
                cell.setCellValue(data);

            }
        }
        FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+APP_FILES_PATH+"file.xls");
        hwb.write(fileOut);
        fileOut.close();
