Answer 1

It can get cleaner with an OutputStreamWriter:

OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("output.txt");
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream);

writer.write("data");

writer.close();

Instead of writing a string, you can use a Scanner on your inputStream

Scanner sc = new Scanner(inputStream);
while (sc.HasNext())
    //read using scanner methods
