What is the most appropriate way to store user settings in Android application

Question

I am creating an application which connects to the server using username/password and I would like to enable the option \"Save password\" so the user wouldn\'t have to type

Answer 1

About the simplest way to store a single preference in an Android Activity is to do something like this:

Editor e = this.getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
e.putString("password", mPassword);
e.commit();

If you're worried about the security of these then you could always encrypt the password before storing it.
