Android persistence alternative to SQLite

Question

Is there any other alternative to SQLite in Android for persisting data in the phone? I am looking something like iOS coredata or something simpler like a key-value store. If we need to embed it with the apps, something that is relatively small in size is also great.

Thank you for your assistance.

Answer 1

If you need just a simple store for a couple key/value pairs, SharedPreferences is the way to go. If you are looking for something more powerful, that compares to Core Data, you should give greenDAO a try. Like Core Data, greenDAO a layer between your objects and the data store (Core Data on iOS usually takes SQLite, too).
