I am currently making an app where I will need to store large amounts of data, between 4000 and 7000 user names and an equal amount of register dates.
How do you recommend me doing it?

3That's nowhere near "large" amounts of data, so do it anyway you want and know how. – Kayaman Dec 19 '15 at 22:30

4k to 7k records is not a large amount of data. Just go for a NoSQL or SQL databases. – jso Dec 19 '15 at 22:30

Just use a simple database table and get use to doing it that way for when you actually get into dealing with real amounts of data. – DevilsHnd - 退職した Dec 19 '15 at 22:45

You want a database of some sort. The DB can be either embedded (runs inside your Java process) or stand-alone (runs as a separate daemon process, either on the same machine or on a different one). With an embedded DB, your app will be much simpler to configure; you'll lose a lot of features, but your use case sounds pretty simple, so I wouldn't worry about that right now.
Also, the DB can be table-oriented (SQL) or not (what's known as NoSQL; I don't like that term, because it's not very descriptive, but I don't have anything better). Any of those would work in your case, but I would recommend an SQL-based DB just because SQL is a skill that every programmer needs.
Based on personal experience, I would tell you to use HSQLDB. Also see: Java Embedded Databases Comparison

You should use a DBMS of course.
Here is a good tutorial for building up an application with a database: http://www.androidhive.info/2011/11/android-sqlite-database-tutorial/
