  FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(gpxfile);

you can loop it to write multiple lines

You can use FileOutputStream instead of OutputStreamWriter, something like this:

File file = getFileStreamPath("test.txt");

if (!file.exists()) {
   file.createNewFile();
}

FileOutputStream writer = openFileOutput(file.getName(), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

for (String string: data){
    writer.write(string.getBytes());
    writer.flush();
}

writer.close();
