Can't write file to internal storage Android

Question

I am trying to save a user history to the internal storage, which seems to work (no error) :

        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String json = gson.toJson(userHistory);
        historyFile = new File(context.getFilesDir() + File.separator + "MyApp" + File.separator + "UserHistory.json");
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(historyFile);
        fileOutputStream.write(json.getBytes());
        fileOutputStream.flush();
        fileOutputStream.close();

But when I try to open it I got a FileNotFoundException:

        InputStream inputStream = assets.open(historyFile.getAbsolutePath());

What am I doing wrong ?

Based on the comment, I managed to find an answer, I use :

String userHistoryJson = fileToString(historyFile.getAbsolutePath());

With the function below :

public String fileToString(String fileName) {
    try {
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (fileName);  // 2nd line
        StringBuffer fileContent = new StringBuffer("");
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int n;
        while ((n = fis.read(buffer)) != -1)
        {
            fileContent.append(new String(buffer, 0, n));
        }
        String json =  new String(fileContent);
        return json;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }
}
