This method accepts two arguments 1) file_name and 2) file_extension name. If the file_extension is null, the default file extension will be .tmp.

Package to use: import java.io.*;

Syntax:

    //file object creation
    File one = null;
    File two = null;

    //temporary file creation
    one = File.createTempFile("file_name", "extension");
    two = File.createTempFile("file_name", "extension");
