I'm building an application and need to ensure my data is retained if the service gets destroyed. I've used preferences to save the user's settings, which works fine.
The data I now want to store are longitudinal and latitudinal values set when the application is first configured, which are being used as a base location and are vital they retain their value.
I'm assuming content providers are overkill for my needs.
*Anyone dealing with the problem caused by the change to fragmented preferences, this is worth a look.
