It's only a single XML file if you use a single shared preference object. You don't actually have to use the default one. If it does simplify your life, you can use this: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/content/Context.html#getSharedPreferences(java.lang.String, int)
...to get a preference file just for storing your data. Though I suspect files aren't really any harder to use, and they will be a bit faster. You can even easily write the files compressed, using java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream.
