Question

Currently I am working in project where I need to parse a remote text file and store it in local storage (internal/external). I am able to parse the text file but unable to

Answer 1

First thing, your AndroidManifest.xml file is correct. So no need to correct that. Though I would recommend organizing your permissions in one place.

Writing File to Internal Storage

FileOutputStream fOut = openFileOutput("myinternalfile.txt",MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);

//---write the contents to the file---
osw.write(strFileData);
osw.flush();
osw.close();

Writing File to External SD Card

//This will get the SD Card directory and create a folder named MyFiles in it.
File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File directory = new File (sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/MyFiles");
directory.mkdirs();

//Now create the file in the above directory and write the contents into it
File file = new File(directory, "mysdfile.txt");
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
osw.write(strFileData);
osw.flush();
osw.close();

Note: If running on an emulator, ensure that you have enabled SD Card support in the AVD properties and allocated it appropriate space.

Answer 2

Replace this lines

File myFile = new File("sdcard/mysdfile.txt");
if(!myFile.exists()){
  myFile.mkdirs();
 }
myFile = new File("sdcard/mysdfile.txt");

with

//Saving the parsed data.........

File myFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/mysdfile.txt");
myFile.createNewFile();

Answer 3

File myFile = new File("sdcard/mysdfile.txt");

Should be changed to

File myFile = new File("/mnt/sdcard/mysdfile.txt");
