I am developing an android app where I am going to display information about colleges like college name, address, courses available. Can anyone guide me how and where to store those information(assume that I want to store information of around 100 colleges).

    Shared pref can hold that much without problem. But I would prefer SQLite db instead of XMLS. This might give you good insight : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/513084/how-to-ship-an-android-application-with-a-database – Jimmy May 13 '14 at 16:31

You should store your data in a Sqlite database, please check: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/database/sqlite/SQLiteDatabase.html

If it's only a few rows, you can use a simple XML file. If it has relationships and need some transaction functionality, SQLite.

There are several ways to store data in an Android

  1. SharedPreference
  2. InternalStorage
  3. ExternalStorage
  4. SQLite Databases
  5. Network Connection

Looking at your requirements I would suggest using SQLite, or store it on web somewhere and fetch through Network Connection or Store it internally in a file using InternalStorage.
