That becomes somewhat less true now that we need to worry more about syncing the data to the filesystem, with ext4 support and all that. While I'm not a big fan of using SharedPreferences for things other than user settings -- too many people use this when a database would be a better answer -- it is probably the least-complex option where the file syncing is handled for you. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
