When I try to open the /data folder in what Astro File Manager shows as the
top directory (/) there is only one folder called data. Once I open that
there is nothing else in there. Do I need to add any permissions to the
mainifest file?

This piece of code works for me.

You shoudl search for your file in /data/data/your package name/files

Thanks and Regards

String filename = "test"+ System.currentTimeMillis()+".txt";
        ArrayList<String> report = new ArrayList<String>();
        report.add("Hello");
        report.add("How are you");

                FileOutputStream fos;
                                try {
                                        fos =
openFileOutput(filename,Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
                        ObjectOutputStream out = new
ObjectOutputStream(fos);
                        out.writeObject(report);
                        out.close();
                                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                        e.printStackTrace();
                                } catch (IOException e) {
                                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                        e.printStackTrace();
                                }
