Build a Persistent Storage App in Android Studio from Coursera

In this course you will build an Android app with persistent storage (specifically Shared Preferences) in Android Studio. What is meant by persistent storage is that when a user exits an app and then restart it, the app will remember some information that the user gave it previously. This app has four input boxes where the user is being asked to enter a name, address, phone number, and email address. Beneath that section the user will be asked to use radio buttons to indicate the part of the day they prefer, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, or Night. The ability to save and retrieve information is a fundamental part of practically all apps and is essential knowledge for any aspiring app developer and those who like to create apps out of curiosity for fun.

Build a Persistent Storage App in Android Studio

Welcome to the project. By the end of this course you will have built an Android app with persistent storage. What we mean by persistent storage is that when you exit the app and then restart it, the app will remember some information that you gave it previously. Our app will have four input boxes where you will being asked to enter a name, address, phone number, and email address. Beneath that section will be a piece of text saying “Favourite part of day”. Under the text you will have four radio buttons with text next to each one. They say Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Night. You will use these to indicate which part of the day you prefer. When you exit the app it will remember the inputs and preference from your previous session and will automatically put in the information.
