Persisting Data

In this chapter, you will learn how to persist data in your Android applications. Persisting data is an important topic in application development, as users expect to reuse the data some time at a later stage. For Android, there are primarily three basic ways of persisting data:

  • A lightweight mechanism known as shared preferences to save small chunks of data
  • Traditional filesystems
  • A relational database management system through the support of SQLite databases

The recipes discussed in this chapter enable your Android applications to persist data to permanent storage.
