Don't know if y'all know or not but there is already something implemented in Android specifically for caching temporary information...
*Saving cache files* If you'd like to cache some data, rather than store it persistently, you should use getCacheDir()<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getCacheDir()> to open a File <http://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File.html> that represents the internal directory where your application should save temporary cache files. When the device is low on internal storage space, Android may delete these cache files to recover space. However, you should not rely on the system to clean up these files for you. You should always maintain the cache files yourself and stay within a reasonable limit of space consumed, such as 1MB. When the user uninstalls your application, these files are removed. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
