Read/write to external XML file in Android

Here is the code to write to XML file:

final String xmlFile = "userData";
String userNAme = "username";
String password = "password";
try {
    FileOutputStream fos = new  FileOutputStream("userData.xml");
    FileOutputStream fileos= getApplicationContext().openFileOutput(xmlFile, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = Xml.newSerializer();              
    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    xmlSerializer.setOutput(writer);
    xmlSerializer.startDocument("UTF-8", true);
    xmlSerializer.startTag(null, "userData");
    xmlSerializer.startTag(null, "userName");
    xmlSerializer.text(username_String_Here);
    xmlSerializer.endTag(null, "userName");
    xmlSerializer.startTag(null,"password");
    xmlSerializer.text(password_String);
    xmlSerializer.endTag(null, "password");             
    xmlSerializer.endTag(null, "userData");
    xmlSerializer.endDocument();
    xmlSerializer.flush();
    String dataWrite = writer.toString();
    fileos.write(dataWrite.getBytes());
    fileos.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IllegalStateException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

and to read data from XML File the do as below:

final String xmlFile = "userData";
ArrayList<String> userData = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
    fis = getApplicationContext().openFileInput(xmlFile);
    isr = new InputStreamReader(fis);
    inputBuffer = new char[fis.available()];
    isr.read(inputBuffer);
    data = new String(inputBuffer);
    isr.close();
    fis.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e3) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e3.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
XmlPullParserFactory factory = null;
try {
    factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
}
catch (XmlPullParserException e2) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e2.printStackTrace();
}
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = null;
try {
    xpp = factory.newPullParser();
}
catch (XmlPullParserException e2) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e2.printStackTrace();
}
try {
    xpp.setInput(new StringReader(data));
}
catch (XmlPullParserException e1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e1.printStackTrace();
}
int eventType = 0;
try {
    eventType = xpp.getEventType();
}
catch (XmlPullParserException e1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e1.printStackTrace();
}
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT){
    if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT) {
        System.out.println("Start document");
    }
    else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
        System.out.println("Start tag "+xpp.getName());
    }
    else if (eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG) {
        System.out.println("End tag "+xpp.getName());
    }
    else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT) {
        userData.add(xpp.getText());
    }
    try {
        eventType = xpp.next();
    }
    catch (XmlPullParserException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
String userName = userData.get(0);
String password = userData.get(1);

To create new file in /storage/sdcard0/your_app_name/ use following:

File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/" + "your_app_name" + "/" + xmlFile);
        file.createNewFile();
        FileOutputStream fileos = new FileOutputStream(file);
