hi,Thanks for your quick responses

Now iam trying to create new file in the below ways:  Still Iam not able to
create the file

1)
File testFile = new File(this.getCacheDir(),"aaa.txt");
if (!testFile.exists()) {
  System.out.println("--------------File does not exist: ");
}


2)
String filePath1 = this.getCacheDir()+"/blahC.txt";
File testFile = new File(filePath1);
if (!testFile.exists()) {
  System.out.println("--------------File does not exist: ");
}

In either of the above two cases....  File is not getting created.

But if I use createTempFile... file is getting created in the CacheDir
    temp = File.createTempFile("aaa", ".txt", this.getCacheDir());

The SDK version I am using is android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1
