I don't think SharedPreferences are the solution. Especially not for hash tables. But you might want to consider using a database or something in the case that your app gets killed by the system, which would be the reason you don't want to subclass Application. Sure, if you use it correctly, there are some use cases, but most of the time you can factor global state out into a content provider or passing intents between your components. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
