In the code below, call the Context method that gets the internal file directory:
public File getInternalFilePath(Context context, String fileName) {
File fileDir = ;
File fileToWrite = new File(fileDir, fileName);
return file;
}

The answer to that is context.getFilesDir()
- there's not much more explaining I can do with that one!

5,701 PointsSteve can you also help with this
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/android-data-persistence/file-storage/writing-to-internal-storage-2.
The following code is similar to what you just wrote. Modify this code to only write the file if it does not already exist. Hint: Use the method from the File class that checks to see if a file exists or not.
