How to create a file in java (not a folder) ?

Question

Perhaps somewhat embarassing, but after some hours I still cannot create a file in Java...

File file = new File(dirName + \"/\" + fileName);
try
{
    // -->

String dirName="c:\\dir1\\dir2";
    String fileName="fileName.txt";
    File file = new File(dirName + "/" + fileName);
    try {
        new File(dirName).mkdirs();   // directory created here
        file.createNewFile();  // file created here
        System.out.println("file != null");
        return file;
    }catch(Exception e)
         {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            return null;
         }
