Question

I\'m doing a simple app in Android and in a certain part of the app I would like to create an Excel file and write in it. I\'ve already prepared everything to use jexcel lib

Answer 1

If you want to access your file via your PC (with an usb cable) or via a file manager on your device, prefer:

new File(getExternalFilesDir(null), fileName);

This folder is created in .../Android/data/ ... com.yoursociety.yourapp/files ...

null means that you do not want to store files in predefined folders like Movies, Pictures and so on.
