Quick question about storage on android

This is my first question relating to android development. I would like to know the best way to go about storing an array on an android phone so that even when the app/activity is ended the data remains, I thought about doing it using a SQLite db, but have not been able to find any information ab开发者_开发问答out how to keep this database even when the app has ended.

Any advice would be apprectiated, thanks.

There are several methods to use in Android to storage data.

• Store data in internal memory (files in internal memory).
• Store data in external memory (files in the sdcard).
• Store data as preferences (SharedPreferences).
• Store data in a SQLLite database.

In my case, I use one method or another depending on the type of data. I only use SharedPreferences for application settings although that is only my rule. To save information in a SQLLite database you only have to insert records, like using any other database. This records will keep saved after your application finish.
