As @bianca says, you're better not using a file path. But instead, use only the filename to create a File. Something like this:

public static void saveTextToFile(Context context, String filename, String content) {
  try {
     FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
     fos.write(content.getBytes());
     fos.close();
  } catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

And to get the file, you can use:

File file = new File(context.getFilesDir(), filename);
