Shared preferences gets wiped out, when do you use it then?
<p>I always try to  avoid using shared preferences for storage in my app for the followinng reasons:</p>

<ul>
<li>It gets wiped out on device reboot</li>
<li>It gets wiped out when cache data is cleared</li>
<li>It gets wiped out on force exit (through task manager)</li>
</ul>

<p>Which makes me to always resort to internal storage (I/O). However, I see that many people in SO use shared preferences or recommend shared preferences for each  other. Am I missing the point here? In particular, when do you use Shared PReferences?</p>

<p>Thanks you</p>
