Saving Game state Android
android, save, state
Solution
You can't save an Instance / Object unless you serialize it and save it to some text/binary/database file. Your two options are kind of identical therefore.
What you need to save is all information that you need to reconstruct your game state. There are probably some information that you can derive from here.
If you have just a small fixed set of variables that define your gamestate then use SharedPreferences.
If you want to keep more than one state and / or it is more complex to save use some text (xml, json, ...)/binary/database/.. representation and store that.
Problem
I'm unsure how I'm supposed to save the game state of my game that I'm developing. Should I save a instance/object containing all the game information? If yes, how? Or should I save all the relative information in a .txt file and save/load information when needed? How do you do this and what do you think of my proposals?
