I apologize to everyone for asking questions too often ...
In Windows the program settings are saved in the registry or in the
ini-file. How and where to save it in Android?

Hi shyub,

I apologise for not knowing Android, but if FPC/Lazarus gives you a
system agnostic set of functions like:
 GetAppConfigDir  GetAppConfigFile  GetUserDir
Have you not tested them?

Again, I know nothing of your Android app and I apologise if you
already went through these options.

Cheers
Gus

Hi, The data that will be used throughout the life of the application
on Android is stored by SharedPreferences or SQLite method.
In addition, there is another method called PreferenceFragment that
makes recording and reading automatically.
In the LAMW installation directory, in the demo folder, there are very
good examples of using SQLite. I recommend you to review.

You can use the jPreference component to save various data types like
string, integer and boolean, the data is saved by android, the you can
use it again in any moment
