3,447 PointsBest way to store and display data
Hi,
I want to create a simple diary application for android. The way i want my app to function is to have 3 different activities: the first is a welcome page, the second displays all the diary entries the user has created in a list view and then the third will allow the user to input a new diary entry.
My question is how best to store the diary entries and then how i would go about loading this data in a list view

3,541 PointsThe best way that I can think of for storing the entries might be as a database. The reason being is you'll most likely want to keep at least the datetime information with the entries. As far as how to go about doing that I can't help you. I'm still learning that myself. Treehouse does have a course for that though (which is how I'm learning myself). It is Android Data Persistance. Give it a go and hopefully it will give you the knowledge you need.
