Verified the implementation. createFile() works as expected in android.

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	layout:'vertical'
   });
   
   var b1 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title:"tempdir",
   	top:30
   });
   
   var b2 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title:"appdatadir",
   	top:20
   });
   
   var b3 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title:"extstrdir",
   	top:20
   });
   
   var b4 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title:"appcachedir",
   	top:20
   });
   
   function tempFile(){
   	var Settings = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.tempDirectory,'Settings');
   	Ti.API.info("Created Settings: " + Settings.createDirectory());
   	Ti.API.info('Settings ' + Settings);
   	var newFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Settings.nativePath,'Settings.txt');
   	newFile.createFile();
   	
   	if (newFile.exists()){
   	    newFile.write('I am in temp dir.');
   	    alert('newfile: '+newFile.read());
   	}
   }
   
   function appdatadir(){
   	var Settings = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,'Settings');
   	Ti.API.info("Created Settings: " + Settings.createDirectory());
   	Ti.API.info('Settings ' + Settings);
   	var newFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Settings.nativePath,'Settings.txt');
   	
   	newFile.createFile();
   	
   	if (newFile.exists()){
   	    newFile.write('I am in appl data dir.');
   	    alert('newfile: '+newFile.read());
   	}
   }
   
   function extstrdir(){
   	if(Ti.Filesystem.isExternalStoragePresent()){
   	var Settings = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.tempDirectory,'Settings');
   		Ti.API.info("Created Settings: " + Settings.createDirectory());
   		Ti.API.info('Settings ' + Settings);
   		var newFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Settings.nativePath,'Settings.txt');
   		
   		newFile.createFile();
   		
   		if (newFile.exists()){
   		    newFile.write('I am in ext str dir.');
   		    alert('newfile: '+newFile.read());
   		}
   	}
   	else{
   		alert("No ext storage present");
   	}
   }
   
   function appcachedir(){
   	var Settings = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Titanium.Filesystem.tempDirectory,'Settings');
   	Ti.API.info("Created Settings: " + Settings.createDirectory());
   	Ti.API.info('Settings ' + Settings);
   	var newFile = Titanium.Filesystem.getFile(Settings.nativePath,'Settings.txt');
   	
   	newFile.createFile();
   	
   	if (newFile.exists()){
   	    newFile.write('I am in app cache dir.');
   	    alert('newfile: '+newFile.read());
   	}
   }
   
   b1.addEventListener('click',function(){
   	tempFile();
   });
   
   b2.addEventListener('click',function(){
   	appdatadir();
   });
   
   b3.addEventListener('click',function(){
   	extstrdir();
   });
   
   b4.addEventListener('click',function(){
   	appcachedir();
   });
   
   win.add([b1,b2,b3,b4]);
   win.open();
