Is there any good way to store DATA in an android APP

[diefox]

Lets say I am trying to make a game with levels edited via a level editor for android, but everytime I turn the application into an APK I want the level data to be included on it so whenever the game is updated the levels would load accordingly.

What is the right way to do that with android? Do I have to use the binary files?

I dont know if i`m making myself clear, it`s kinda hard to explain.

I know what you're saying here. Yes, the only viable way would be to include them every compilation as binary files, this way they remain up to date with each build.

Alternatively, you could store your level data files on your own server and get your app to download the new files after every update...

Doesn't that happen automatically with Android when you use array files? They get converted to binary?

I tried to make it work with INI, but for whatever reason it just dont work =(

BUT it works perfectly with arrays, the only con is that i cant open and edit the ARRAY file as I like to do when using an INI file.

you could make your own array editor in fusion to open/edit your arrays
