Android Question KeyValueStore internally?

[swabygw]

I wanted to confirm my understanding of how this feature works. I am using it in my application with the following declaration/initialization:

Private KVS As KeyValueStore
KVS.Initialize(File.DirDefaultExternal, "datastore")

If I understand correctly...
1) These values are stored in SQLite file, which is, essentially, a text file...is this correct?
2) The file with the values is stored on the external SD card (I'm assuming so because it would only work when I ran my emulator with SD storage space defined)...is this correct?

So, here's my question: suppose the user of the application isn't using an external SD card - is it possible to use the KeyValueStore and store the values internally on the phone/device? If so, what would the code look like?

Thanks

yes

DirDefaultExternal and DirInternal are BOTH on the internal - not removeable - SDCard.

An ADDITIONAL SDCard (a real EXTERNAL) will get another path.

the values internally on the phone/device? If so, what would the code look like?

Use DirInternal oder DirDefaultExternal.... DirInterla can only be uses by your own app.

Perfect - thanks! Btw, I noticed some DeutscheSprache...I'm in Berlin.

swabygw klingt für mich nicht wirklich Deutsch
steht auch nicht in deinem Profil, daß Du Deutscher bist

 

[swabygw]

Weil ich bin Amerikaner. Ich bin in Berlin seit sechs Monate zu Deutsche lernen. (...jetzt B1...)

Not at all. SQLite file is a binary file.
