Hi everybody,

I am new to Android.
I noticed that there are many ways to implement the data storage function.
Here is my situation:
I want to implement a paint application, the user can draw picture or write words on the screen, and I want to detect the bounds of the drawing, and save the drawing, and display the drawing again when the user wants to review the drawing.
I got the following questions:
1. Should I use locale file to save the drawing or use a SQLite database? I know it involves IO operation, both are high-weight operations that consume memory.
2. Anyone can provide a little sample on how to implement the draw-->save--->re-display process?

Thanks a lot.

Use the local file system to store the binary, and use the DB to store a reference to the file as well as other file metadata.
