Thanks for the reply. I wanted to do something similar. I wanted to save some information on the phone, but when the user selects "Clear Data", the information needs to persist. I dont mind the information getting deleted if the user uninstalls the application. I tried saving the information in a file in the internal memory (data/ data/com.test/files/FILENAME using openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE)) but still the file gets deleted on pressing "Clear Data". I do not want to save the file in the SD card. Is there any way I can do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
