File not creating in ANDROID using FileOutputStream Class

When the button is clicked a file should be created. But in my code file is not being created.

bcheck.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            p=1;//app installed
            try {
                FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("abc.txt");
                String s = "Installed";
                byte b[]=s.getBytes();
                fout.write(s.getBytes());
                fout.close();
                System.out.println("FILE CREATED");
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                System.out.println("FILE NOT CREATED");
            }
        }
    });

FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("abc.txt");

That will not work on Android. Always use a method to get at a valid directory for which you can read and write.

For example, this would work:

FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(new File(getFilesDir(), "abc.txt"));

(assuming that this line is in a method in some subclass of Context, like an Activity or Service)

getFilesDir() returns to you a directory in internal storage. You can also use external storage, if you prefer, though that can get more complicated due to permissions and such.
