Creating Text file using android emulator

Question

I am making a handwriting recognizer using android emulator , I have coordinates stored in an arraylist , What i want is that i need to store the coordinates on a text file in my computer's harddisk so that the text file can be later read by an external tool kit like hidden markov model ( that text file will be my training data ) . How can i create a TEXT FILE on my HARD DISK and make it editable and readable to users and external softwares

Thanks

You can't create files on your local disk from the emulator directly, but you can copy files from it with adb pull . eg:

$ adb pull /default.prop
17 KB/s (118 bytes in 0.006s)
$ cat default.prop
#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=1
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=0
persist.service.adb.enable=0

You can also use adb push to copy files to the emulator.

(adb is part of the Android SDK)
