Android openFileOutput - no permission to create storage

Question

I have a problem with permissions in my application. It looks like my app does not have permissions to create files on storage.

String FILENAME = "hello_file";
String string = "hello world!";
FileOutputStream fos;

try 
{
   fos = getApplicationContext()
           .openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);     
   fos.write(string.getBytes());
   fos.close();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
   e.printStackTrace();
}

In my main class onCreate handler, and I always get:

in response.

I believe its something very simple in definitions of my project. But I can't figure out what it is.

If I create another project and put same code in to it, it works fine.

my manifest file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.servision.svclient"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />


  <application android:icon="@drawable/main" android:label="@string/app_name" android:debuggable="true">
    <activity android:name=".Main" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".StreamActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"/>        
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity"/>
    <activity android:name=".GatewayList"/>
    <activity android:name=".StatisticsActivity"/>
    <activity android:name=".SettingsActivity"/>
    <activity android:name=".MapsActivity"/>
    <activity android:name=".AboutActivity"/>
  </application>
  <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />


</manifest>
