public static void writeToFile(String keyString,String textFilePAth) throws IOException {

在Java-7中也可以这样做:

import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.StandardOpenOption;

//---------------------

Path filePath = Paths.get("someFile.txt");
if (!Files.exists(filePath)) {
    Files.createFile(filePath);
}
Files.write(filePath, "Text to be added".getBytes(), StandardOpenOption.APPEND);

确保流在所有场景中都正确关闭。

有些令人担忧的是，这些答案中有许多在出现错误时将文件句柄保持打开状态。https://stackoverflow.com/a/15053443/2498188的答案是正确的，但只是因为BufferedWriter()不能抛出。如果可以，则异常将使FileWriter对象打开。

一种更通用的方法，它不关心BufferedWriter()是否会抛出:

  PrintWriter out = null;
  BufferedWriter bw = null;
  FileWriter fw = null;
  try{
     fw = new FileWriter("outfilename", true);
     bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
     out = new PrintWriter(bw);
     out.println("the text");
  }
  catch( IOException e ){
     // File writing/opening failed at some stage.
  }
  finally{
     try{
        if( out != null ){
           out.close(); // Will close bw and fw too
        }
        else if( bw != null ){
           bw.close(); // Will close fw too
        }
        else if( fw != null ){
           fw.close();
        }
        else{
           // Oh boy did it fail hard! :3
        }
     }
     catch( IOException e ){
        // Closing the file writers failed for some obscure reason
     }
  }

编辑:

从Java 7开始，推荐的方法是使用“try with resources”，让JVM来处理:

  try(    FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("outfilename", true);
          BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
          PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(bw)){
     out.println("the text");
  }  
  catch( IOException e ){
      // File writing/opening failed at some stage.
  }

我建议你加入阿帕奇公共项目。这个项目已经提供了一个框架来做你需要的事情(即灵活的集合过滤)。

下面的方法可以让你把文本添加到文件中:

private void appendToFile(String filePath, String text)
{
    PrintWriter fileWriter = null;

    try
    {
        fileWriter = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
                filePath, true)));

        fileWriter.println(text);
    } catch (IOException ioException)
    {
        ioException.printStackTrace();
    } finally
    {
        if (fileWriter != null)
        {
            fileWriter.close();
        }
    }
}

或者使用FileUtils:

public static void appendToFile(String filePath, String text) throws IOException
{
    File file = new File(filePath);

    if(!file.exists())
    {
        file.createNewFile();
    }

    String fileContents = FileUtils.readFileToString(file);

    if(file.length() != 0)
    {
        fileContents = fileContents.concat(System.lineSeparator());
    }

    fileContents = fileContents.concat(text);

    FileUtils.writeStringToFile(file, fileContents);
}

它效率不高，但运行良好。换行符被正确处理，如果还不存在换行符，则创建一个新文件。

1.7的方法:

void appendToFile(String filePath, String content) throws IOException{

    Path path = Paths.get(filePath);

    try (BufferedWriter writer = 
            Files.newBufferedWriter(path, 
                    StandardOpenOption.APPEND)) {
        writer.newLine();
        writer.append(content);
    }

    /*
    //Alternative:
    try (BufferedWriter bWriter = 
            Files.newBufferedWriter(path, 
                    StandardOpenOption.WRITE, StandardOpenOption.APPEND);
            PrintWriter pWriter = new PrintWriter(bWriter)
            ) {
        pWriter.println();//to have println() style instead of newLine();   
        pWriter.append(content);//Also, bWriter.append(content);
    }*/
}
