Android Question Any benefit using KeyValueStore when you use SQLite in any case?

[RB Smissaert]

I currently store some settings with kvs, but wonder if there is any benefit if you run SQLite in any case. Storing directly to SQLite gives more control and just makes it clearer what is going on. The only benefit I can see is that is simpler to store and retrieve complex types.

This is exactly the purpose of KVS.
If you need a key / value store then KVS is a good option.

OK, I do have one UDT (Type) to store and not sure I can serialize that to blob (and back), so will stick with KVS.
