Storing the data persistently:
 Persistent storage is any data storage device that retains data after power to that device is shut off.
 It is also sometimes referred to as non-volatile storage.
 Android provides several options for you to save persistent application data.
 Your data storage options are the following:
1. Shared Preferences
2. Internal Storage
3. External Storage
4. Content provider
5. SQLite Databases

Shared Preferences:
 Store private primitive data in key-value pairs.
 The Shared Preferences class provides a general framework that allows you to save and retrieve
persistent key-value pairs of primitive data types.
 You can use Shared Preferences to save any primitive data: boolean, floats, int, long, and string.

Internal Storage:
 Store private data on the device memory.
 You can save files directly on the device's internal storage.
 By default, files saved to the internal storage are private to your application
and other applications cannot access them (nor can the user).
 When the user uninstalls your application, these files are removed.

External Storage:
 Store public data on the shared external storage.
 External storage is used to store application data, such as SD card.
 In general there are two types of External Storage:
1. Primary External Storage
2. Secondary External Storage

Primary External Storage:


 It is in-built shared storage which is “accessible by the user by plugging in a USB cable.
 Example: When we say 4GB, 32 GB.

Secondary External Storage:


 It is type of storage which is removed from the android if required.
 It is also known as removable storage. Example: SD Card

Content provider:
 A content provider component supplies data from one application to others on request.
 Such requests are handled by the methods of the Content Resolver class.
 A content provider can use different ways to store its data and the data can be stored in a database, in
files, or even over a network.
 Sometimes it is required to share data across applications then content providers become very useful.

What is database?
 It is an organized collection of structured information or data that stored electronically in computer.
 A database is usually controlled and managed by database management system (DBMS).
 Most commonly used database is SQL.
 SQLite database is used in android.

Android SQLite Database:


 SQLite is an open source relational database.
 It is lighter version of SQL.
 Android comes with built-in SQLite database implementation.
 To access this database, you do not need to establish any kind of connections like JDBC, ODBC etc.
 Main components of SQLite is:
 Table structure (Rows and columns).
 Types of data (int, float, char, double, Boolean etc).
 Constraints (Primary and secondary key).
 Queries (Select, Insert, Update and Delete).

SQLite Advantages SQLite Disadvantages
 Lightweight  SQLite is used to handle low to medium traffic HTTP requests.
 Better Performance  Database size is restricted to 2GB in most cases.
 No Installation Needed
 Portable

Insert, Read, Delete & Update operation in SQLite:


 Android provides different ways to store data locally so using SQLite is one of the way to store data.
 For managing all the operations related to the database, an helper class has been given and is called
SQLiteOpenHelper.
 It automatically manages the creation and update of the database.
 Android OS has its own implementation to perform CRUD operations.
1. Create
2. Read
3. Update
4. Delete

What is APK?
 APK stand for Android Application Package.
 It is a package file format used by android OS for distribution and installation of mobile app.
 It is similar to executable file .exe in windows operating system.
 The extension of APK file is .apk.
 It is installed on android operating system.

Publishing Android Application:


 Android application publishing is a process that makes your Android applications available to users.
 Infect, publishing is the last phase of the Android application development process.
 Once you developed and fully tested your Android Application, you can start selling or distributing free
using Google Play Store.
 You can also release your applications by sending them directly to users or by letting users download
them from your own website.
