Solution 1:

After doing a few more hours of research on this topic, I found a place were another person had posted a different way of doing this, and it is as follows:

StringfileName= surveyName + ".csv";
Stringheadings="Hello, world!";
Filepath= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
Filefile=newFile(path, fileName);
path.mkdirs();
OutputStreamos=newFileOutputStream(file);
os.write(headings.getBytes());

Solution 2:

You may find that the file you are trying to write to is actually a directory. Find the file/directory and delete it.

I ran into this when I was first working with files. I called File.mkdirs() expecting it to just create the directories, but it created a directory with the filename that I specified.

When I create files I use two File objects. The first references just the path, and I call mkdirs(). The second then references the file.

//create pathFiledirectoryFile=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "");
directoryFile.mkdirs();

//create fileFileoutFile=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), filename);

Solution 3:

Another reason could be mkdirs returns false anyway in Android Q please check this
