Hi all I have an Android application that stores about 25-40K of private app data in few files. By default sytem stores these files in the directory /data/data/'my app package'/files. When the user goes to "Setting->Applications->Manage Applications->'My app package'" and chooses the "Clear data" option, all the files, databases folders for this app is being deleted. I need to keep my data on the device until the app is "uninstalled".
Is there a way to keep my application data "on the device" somewhere without being deleted? My device is not rooted. My app is not meant to be on rooted devices. Note: I saw the /data/data/'my app package'/lib directory is not being deleted using the "clear data" option. But I couldn't programatically write to this direcroty. I get permission denied. Is there a way to use this directory to store my data? Is there a way to use NDK (not worked on it yet) to keep the data safe? Is there a way to keep the data in application reosurce or something like a DLL resource in Windows programing. Any help please to get me out of this jam? I would really appreciate it. I have posted this on stackoverflow site also. I hope I am not violating any rules. I apologize if i did. Thank you; have a good day.
