Creating a file on an Android device
<p>I am new to Android development using eclipse, although not new to software development in general.</p>

<p>For my first real project, I am trying to modify the example SoftKeyboard that is supplied with the SDK. I want to modify one of the keys to act as a function key, when followed by a single letter key it will enter a canned string - performing a macro function.</p>

<p>So far so good. I have the key and graphics modified, and found where to respond. I would like to put the canned strings in an editable Properties file stored where the keyboard can find them.</p>

<p>That is where I'm having trouble. It seems that I can't to create and save a file. I don't know if it's read/write permission problem, whether the keyboard (it runs as a service) is not allowed to create a file, or my code is just plain wrong.</p>

<p>Can someone help me out – point me in the right direction?</p>

<p>Thank you very much.
Barry.</p>
