Android save text file

The question is pretty common and I have googled it a few but I still have problems. I have to save in a text file some data for a game that I am trying to develop. This is the code:

if (!isSecond(game[k])) {

            //Where I'd like to save the file
            File myFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/flagQuiz/record.txt");

             //Try to save my file
             try {

                myFile.createNewFile();
                FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(myFile);
                OutputStreamWriter myOutWriter = 
                                        new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);

                //correctGuess and TimeElapsed are two integers
                myOutWriter.append(String.valueOf(correctGuess) + "-" + String.valueOf(TimeElapsed));
                myOutWriter.close();
                fOut.close();

             } catch (IOException e) {

                 e.printStackTrace();

             }

}

The log cat shows me this kind of error:

enter image description here

I have declared the possibility to save stuff in the SD Card in this way I guess:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Where is the mistake? flagQuiz folder is already created at runtime.

Be sure to check if file.exists() if true then delete it and create new one else false then just carry on with your try block
