Where should I store my widget's preferences on the Configuration page on Android?

Question

Hi all,

^Question^

I think that it would be too complex to open a database. Does using shared preferences make my app's data size become big. Is there a temporary storage place for my data or should I delete the data in the shared preferences for that widget.

Short code samples are very appreciated :)

Thank you

It looks like it doesn't really take a lot of space :) I tested with 14 widgets on the home screen with different combinations of my big data. Only about 4KB after testing for a month while adding and replacing widgets. Should be no problem!
