Hi.  
Read [this](https://discourse.processing.org/t/android-cannot-get-access-to-data-folder/14636/2) topic here.

The first answer can help you to save data.

Edit: For saving data from an array you can use  
something like:

```auto
holder = new String[totalpoints];
etc.
saveStrings(directory + pointsFolder + inptxt + ".txt", holder);

```
