Well, this is easy, just construct your text (html) in a String object then open a FileOutputStream and wirte out yur String, here is an example:

FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(new File(absolutPathToNewFile));

fos.write( stringToWrite.getBytes("UTF-8") );

fos.close();

before in stringToWrite you put the text that you made with te request parameters...

i hope it helps...

Thank you for the code. How can I write to the file and append the data and not over write the existing string. Currently, each time it writes it over writes the content. I wish to do a new insert with a new line. Thank you - you have been a big help.

I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but read the API dude. There's another constructor you can use that will let you specific whether you want to append or overwrite.
