I just started my first android application and in this application I plan to save username and password of the user. So my question is is it safe to save user name and password in file without decoding it? I mean can anyone acess data the text files in android? Sorry I have developed for iOS before so I am not sure about that.
thanks
You should take a look at the different types of Data Storage provided to you by the Android framework.
It’s probably a little overkill to go ahead and create a database, if you’re only going to store username and password – but if you’re going to store more than that in a database later on, you might aswell use the database for username and password too.
If it’s only username and password, I’d go for using the Shared Preferences.
