What are the different methods that can be used for data storage purposes in android? I have practiced SharedPreferences though it feels a bit complex to me as a beginner developer, does android provide a more clean and easy management of the storage?

Pulled straight from Android documentation.
Your data storage options are the following:
Store private primitive data in key-value pairs.
Store private data on the device memory.
Store public data on the shared external storage.
Store structured data in a private database.
Store data on the web with your own network server.
