Android Question Notepad App

[Almora]

Hi..

in notepad app is it better to store notes in database or better to store them in txt file.
Notes can be very long.

I did not met anyone in my life who wrote a NOTE with more than a few kb of text. Especially not in MB or GB size.

Store it whereever you want. txt, database.Both are suitable.

Both are suitable.

Yes, but very often a DB is the better choice.
For example, you may have a table with note types, which could be useful. Another with PKs for notes that might need to be notified to the user at a specified date/time.

Depends what are the features you thought for it.
Just a note writing pad. One note only, then a text file will do.
Many notes, showing list or thumbnail of them, then managing many text files will be difficult, use database.

Don't forget voice notes. And, eventually, taking a picture or two as a way to better define a note.
So, something like title/subject, date, text, audio and pictures. The three forms of notes could coexist under a single title/object or be three different kind of notes.

Ok, this is how to make a simple project a nightmare
