Dianne, it will be great if I can use any other way as long it will:
1. be accessible for both apps no mater which of them installed first
2. will "survive" uninstall

Adam, I can't use cloud because of security reasons: the first app
being installed saves kind of a "login" details for both of the apps.
The only way I can use cloud was if a device could have unique
identification but you can't achieve that on Android :(
Also, both apps can change that data and I want to keep a single
instance of it without a copy.
