Saving a file to your own android application

Question

When My application is running I want to capture some information and save this to a folder in my application rather than to the device. I have read online that it is not possible to save a file to your assets or res directory. However would it be possible to save it to another file in your application?I had a look at Shared Preferences but that seems to be only for Key Value pairs.

Writing to internal storage with MODE_PRIVATE should handle what I think you want..

Answer 2

You cannot store the files in the Assets or the Raw folder at run time. Instead if you have image/video/audio/textual files you can store the files in your SD card and store the path of those files in your file in Database or shared preferences.

Answer 3

After installation each application creates a storage located in '/data/data/com.your.app.package.name'. Save whatever you want in that place.
