I am trying to keep a back up of the sharedPreference for my app that works only offline. I was planning to use SharedPreferencesBackupHelper and BackupAgentHelper API of android but it seems that these api enables the app to back up the shared preference only on cloud and not locally to the device.

I want to know if these apis keep a back up locally also or not. If not , then is there any other way by which I can keep a backup of my sharedPreference file locally on the device so that when the user uninstalls the app, The sharedPreference file remains untouched.

  • You can create you own backup mechanism to do. All your backup share preferences stored in sdcard. – alijandro Jun 12 '15 at 11:34
  • @alijandro so does it mean that SharedPreferencesBackupHelper and BackupAgentHelper can not back up the shared preference offline? – Puneet Rastogi Jun 12 '15 at 11:42
  • Yes, the default implementation is backup to the remote server. You have to implement you own if you want to backup offline or locally. – alijandro Jun 12 '15 at 15:58
