Answer 1

where can i store image data? in
Drawable? or etc. In case, there were
a lot of place and i would like to
update place more after that.

You can store the images related to the app in drawables(logo, icons etc). If the app have too many images or would have too many images in future you should consider building a web service and download them when necessary(for example while being searched). You wouldn’t want your application to be heavyweight.

Do i need to use SQLite for place’s
information?

I would suggest you should. Thus it gives an easy way to structure the data and also helps to buffer it for offline use.

How should i deal with place’s data
such as Title, Address, Description?
should i store it in XML resource?

Look at the answers to earlier 2 questions.
