Best way to store non-sensitive data in android?

Question

In my android app, I download a huge json string, and want to store it for offline use. Currently I am using shared preferences to store it. But I am thinking now it may not be the best way to store a large string.

Also the data doesn't have to be encrypted. It can be stored in plain text, so security is not a problem.

Does anyone know if there's a better way?

Answer 1

使用Java文件I / O将 其存储为文件 ，可能在Android的内部存储中 。

You have other options, such as:

Internal Storage, External Storage, SQLite database.

Answer 3

SharedPreferences is a good option. It doesnt make any sense to store it in a file, SharedPreferences already does the same thing. I wouldnt suggest SQLite either because its just a string which still will be saved into a file. If the strings gets too big then i would suggest to have a method on splitting it into smaller objects then using SQLite for storing.
