If your array is not too large, I agree with theSmith, using SharedPreferences is very easy if you are not sure about how to use other data storage approaches. If you store it as a String you could then parse it and rebuild the array.
If you have a lot of data, you might want to go ahead and check out using a database. Here is a quick database example I wrote recently, in case it helps: http://www.screaming-penguin.com/node/7742. Also, here are some examples of writing and reading to files: http://unlocking-android.googlecode.com/svn/chapter5/trunk/FileStorage/src/com/msi/manning/chapter5/filestorage/. See "CreateFile" for writing to a file, and "ReadFile" for reading the data back. These are a bit simplified, and the process is pretty raw, but the concepts are there.
