title: Android: Saving persistent data
body: <p>I have another question also, one I haven't yet got round to having a bash at coding yet so feel free to complain and tell me to try it first. But I just wanted to know if there is a way of storing data such as references to images </p>
  
  <p>i.e I would have a customer object with a name, age etc and then an image which is contained within the drawable class. So when starting up the Activity (after the first time) I could obtain the name/age primitive types easy enough off of the data store but then when it comes to the image if I store it's id how would I then use that as a reference for the bitmap loader. To obviously avoid retaining two images (the one supplied with the app and if I had to store one to keep the association with the customer object). </p>
