In most cases you want to use {@link android.content.SharedPreferences} as it is automatically * backed up and migrated to new devices.

Once a put method is called it is full responsibility of the data store implementation to * safely store the given values. Time expensive operations need to be done in the background to * prevent from blocking the UI. You also need to have a plan on how to serialize the data in case * the activity holding this object gets destroyed. * *
