Use these code you can write a text file in SDCard along with you need to set permission in android manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

this is the code :

public void generateNoteOnSD(String sFileName, String sBody){
    try
    {
        File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Notes");
        if (!root.exists()) {
            root.mkdirs();
        }
        File gpxfile = new File(root, sFileName);
        FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(gpxfile);
        writer.append(sBody);
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
         e.printStackTrace();
         importError = e.getMessage();
         iError();
    }
   }

before writing files also check whether your SDCard is Mounted & your external storage state is writable

Environment.getExternalStorageState()

Sure, here is how to create and insert data to a text file in Android:
import android.content.Context; import android.os.Environment; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Code snippet
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    // Get the directory where the text file will be saved.
    File directory = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS);
    // Create the text file.
    File file = new File(directory, "my_file.txt");
    // Get a FileOutputStream to write to the text file.
    FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = null;
    try {
        fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
        // Write some data to the text file.
        fileOutputStream.write("Hello, world!".getBytes());
        // Close the FileOutputStream.
        fileOutputStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}
In this code, we first get the directory where the text file will be saved. Then, we create the text file. Finally, we get a FileOutputStream to write to the text file. We write some data to the text file and then close the FileOutputStream.
Here is an explanation of the code:
The Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS) method returns a File object that represents the directory where the text file will be saved.The new File(directory, "my_file.txt") creates a File object that represents the text file.The new FileOutputStream(file) creates a FileOutputStream object that can be used to write to the text file.The write("Hello, world!".getBytes()) method writes the string "Hello, world!" to the text file.The close() method closes the FileOutputStream.
