Pushing a file from within a apk

I want to be able to copy a file from within my apk to the sd-card and was just wondering if it was possible and how i would go about it as im struggling to find and infomation and the android chat rooms are all locked! Thanks in advance :)

Edit: I would like to push the file to the internal storage (prefrably /system/ but i can move it from the internal storage to there using terminal commands if needed)

Put your file inside assets folder on your project, e.g. file.txt.

Get input stream to read the file:

InputStream is = getAssets().open("file.txt");

Copy the contents:

FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "file.txt"))
byte[] buf = new byte[4096]
while (true) {
    int len = is.read(buf);
    if (len < 0) break;
    os.write(buf, 0, len);
}
os.close(); 
is.close();
