android - How to save JSON from url and update the saved file from url after fixed interval say 5 min

Question

I want to save a JSON file from url locally in my app and also since JSON file is getting updated every minutes so i want to update my local file with updated JSON on url after fixed interval of time in backend(without affecting frontend)

One way is to use shared preferences to store JSON string and update that as and when required.

To store data:

SharedPreferences settings = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("PREF_NAME", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.putString("strJSON", "" + strJSONfromServer);
editor.commit();

To retrieve data :

SharedPreferences settings = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("PREF_NAME", MODE_PRIVATE);
String strData = settings.getString("strJSON", ""); 

To clear data :

SharedPreferences settings = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("PREF_NAME",MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
editor.remove("strJSON");
editor.commit();
