Android application configuration

Question

Where should I store my Android application's configuration settings?

Coming from the .NET world I was expecting something like a .config file. Do I create a file under res/values, and use that?

Answer 1

There is no res/assets. There are assets/ and res/raw/ for arbitrary files, and res/xml/ for arbitrary XML files. However, all of those are packaged as part of the APK and are not modifiable at runtime.

Take a look at SharedPreferences and the PreferenceScreen system for collecting them from users, if these are user-selected configuration settings.
