Answer 1

I'm not too sure which example you are referring to but I have two working samples here of which at least one of them should suit your needs. I tested these on an X10 running Build number 2.1.A.0.435, one Xperia T running Build number 7.0.A.1.303 and one Nexus S running Build number JZO54K

Example 1

    String filename = "myfile";
    String outputString = "Hello world!";

    try {
        FileOutputStream outputStream = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        outputStream.write(outputString.getBytes());
        outputStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        FileInputStream inputStream = openFileInput(filename);
        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
        StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
            total.append(line);
        }
        r.close();
        inputStream.close();
        Log.d("File", "File contents: " + total);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Example 2

    String filename = "mysecondfile";
    String outputString = "Hello world!";
    File myDir = getFilesDir();

    try {
        File secondFile = new File(myDir + "/text/", filename);
        if (secondFile.getParentFile().mkdirs()) {
            secondFile.createNewFile();
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(secondFile);

            fos.write(outputString.getBytes());
            fos.flush();
            fos.close();
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        File secondInputFile = new File(myDir + "/text/", filename);
        InputStream secondInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(secondInputFile));
        BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(secondInputStream));
        StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
        String line;
        while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
            total.append(line);
        }
        r.close();
        secondInputStream.close();
        Log.d("File", "File contents: " + total);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Answer 2

I had "Permission denied" issue with Samsung Galaxy S7 even though I had given read and write permissions in manifest file. I solved it by going to phone settings >> application >> [my app] and allowed "Storage" under permission. Worked fine after that.
