Use
SQLite. Android comes with good support for it.Usually the location for the database in Android is:
The sqlite database is just a file on the SDCard. It isn’t tied to the app, so removing and or updating an app wont affect the database. (unless you wrote update code to update your db 🙂 )
Sqlite is easy to use, compact, and obviously can be stored on your SDCard at ease. The ability to connect to it etc is all done in android.
You only need a web server database if you intend to share information from your app between devices/people. If the data is only necessary for your local device then definately use sqlite.
