check if file exists

I'm not getting where to add this if. i don't even know if this if statement is right : O if(fileToWrite.exists()){

``

public static void saveAssetImage(Context context, String assetName) { File fileToWrite = new File(context.getFilesDir(), assetName); AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets();

try {
  if(fileToWrite.exists()){
  InputStream in = assetManager.open(assetName);
  FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fileToWrite);
  copyResult = copyFile(in, out);
  }
} catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

}

private static boolean copyFile(InputStream in, FileOutputStream out) { // Copy magic intentionally omitted return true; } }
