Create file - A Java Code Example

This example shows how to create an empty file.
You just create a file object and then call its createNewFile() method.

package com.javadb.examples;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FileUtil {

  public void createEmptyFile() {

    try {

      File file = new File("myfile.txt");

      if (file.createNewFile())
        System.out.println("Success!");
      else
        System.out.println("Error, file already exists.");
    }
    catch (IOException ioe) {
      ioe.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    FileUtil fileutil = new FileUtil();
    fileutil.createEmptyFile();
  }
}
