In Android, you can store data in different ways. You can store data internally, externally, or in shared storage. Internal storage is private to your app and isn’t accessible to other apps. External storage is shared among all apps and can be accessed by the user. Shared storage is common storage that’s shared among all apps and the user. In this lesson, you’ll learn about the different types of storage in Android and how to use them.
