Answer 1

If you have to store small amount of data, you can use SharedPreferences in Android.

If the data that you have to store is big/complex enough, try using SQLite database.

Still need help?

UPDATE: There's a tutorial that I wrote to demonstrate how to use SQLite database. check it out here. Although it copies existing database into device's memory, but other versions of it, which create database through code can also be devised from it.
