Is there a sample of this in apidemos or somewhere else?

Have a look at

SharedPreferences would probably be the easiest way, although depending on
the complexity SQLite may be your best option.

I'm thinking of sticking a comma-separated list of type String into
SharedPreferences.

For top ten Shared preferences may be enough. I store 200 local
results
and 1000 global results pulled from server in JSON files and marshall
them to java objects via:
https://git
FWIW, I like to keep the top 5. Even if playing against yourself, it's
nice to see the recent high marks you've hit. Or at least I like to
sometimes - so everyone gets a screen that does it they can
ignore. :-)

Surely there is,
Google "Android Content Provider" and read about that for a few hours, then
you'll be set well off...

Or just use SharedPreferences. There is probably no need to deal with
database just to store a handful of high scores.

That's fair, I'm admittedly not sure of best practices with
SharedPreferences w.r.t amount of data stored so I tend to be conservative.
If you want to store lots of scores or scale to player info and stuff like
that, a DB would be nice, but Dianne's much more in the loop than I on these
calls.

I think what Dianne was trying to say is that if you, let's say, make a
Tetris-like game and want to store a top 10 list, just make ten shared
preferences, the data won't be large, they will be fast to access and there
is no need for a database table for that. If you make a tower defense game
and y
Oh really?
Thanks, I didn't catch it before, but I do now, all due to your
enlightenment :-)

How likely is it that ten people will use the same Android device? If you
really need a highscore list it should live on your game server, not on the
device.

I'd imagine that this is the same as how high scores work on a desktop: most
of the time only I use my desktop, but Microsoft Solitaire still keeps track

You're welcome, Kris, I'm glad you can bath in the light of my knowledge :)
Ibendlin, ten people is unlikely, but I can imagine 4-5 people playing games
on one device (not everyone has a thousand dollars to buy a new smartphone
for every child, but believe me, everyone wants to play with the new t
This was asked a few days ago, google the list.
