Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't clear enough, I'm reading two analog values and store them over time; I store two values every ten seconds, so I need a database.
I implemented a content provider and everything seems to work great so far. Actually, it worked pretty well before, except I used to get log entries from dalvikvm about sqlite errors (I'm ashamed to say I didn't keep the logs so I can't provide any more details). The application wasn't crashing or anything but being new to Android I wanted to make sure I'm at least using the best and safest methods. I have to update the charting functions to use the CP instead of direct database access and I'm done. Thank you all for your help!
