Types of Storages in Android
- Each application has a
private directory. - Thus many applications have their own
individual private directories - The private directory of one application is not visible to the other application.
- This is the easiest way of storing the data
- Permission is not required to store the data in the internal storage
- Everything else apart from the internal storage is considered as the external storage.
- Permission is required for storing data in external storage.
- Once you store the data(ex:-image) in the external storage, all the apps can access this data.
- But all the images stored in external storage are tracked by the apps that created it.
- Say
application-1creates one image in the external storage, and theapplication-2cannot delete it directly, instead requires the permission of the user before deleting it.
