6,271 PointsSharedPreferences and writing to internal storage
From my understanding, we're trying to write asset images into our internal storage. Could this be done with SharedPreferences and Gson? On a side note, SharedPreferences only deal with internal storage?

6,509 PointsAre you pulling images from the URL or some servers? If you are, then i would suggest to cache the images in your internal storage... you can use bitmap for images. With SharedPreferences, all the data in the sharepreferences will go away if the app crashes.
You should first know the url of the images you want to write in the internal storage. Then convert the image into bitmap and access the folder in the internal storage in the android device. Create the file in the folder and write in the file with the correct image from the bitmap.
You can use Gson to get the url from the database, if you have the path of the images in the server is stored in the database.
Hope it helps you!
Happy Coding!
