[android help] How do I write to localStorage from Java on Android

I am looking into the http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebStorage.html API but it does not support writing to localStorage from Java. What I would like to do is to store data from the Java side of an android application to be read by the JavaScript side of the app. For instance, in JavaScript I can use localStorage.getItem(), localStorage.setItem(). However, I cannot find similar API to accomplish the task from Java. Is there a workaround or it has not been implemented by the Android platform yet? Any help would be appreciated! asked 10 mins ago

There are many ways to store data in an Android application, as detailed in the Storage Options guide: Shared Preferences - simple key/value pairs specific to your application. This is probably the closest to WebStorage. Internal Storage - read/write files External Storage - SD card file storage Databases - better for large amounts of structured data Network - obviously, you can store/retrieve data remotely if needed answered 4 mins ago
