Files saved to Cache dir are always MODE
There are two options to save to internal storage:
files dir, which is a persistence folder which doesn't get deleted when storage space is low:
outputStream = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE); outputStream.write(string.getBytes()); outputStream.close();
cache dir, which is a persistence folder which gets deleted when the storage space is low:
file = File.createTempFile(fileName, null, context.getCacheDir());
My question: Will files saved to the cache dir act like the MODE_PRIVATE in the files dir? meaning - will they be accessible only to my app, or will other apps also be able to access the files?

No, unless you provide access by some other means, such as a streaming ContentProvider .
