Where on the android device can I save data such that it is never deleted even when the app is deleted/uninstalled?
Thanks,
Genie

Hi Genie,
Try
Data will be retained when an update is installed. If the user chooses to remove your app together with all data, then this decision is up to the user and there's nothing you can do about it.
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi,
Actually, this question isn't completely clear. Elsewhere, I wrote that you can use several ways to backup data, e.g. using PHP or FTP. Dropbox is also an option, but probably not the best option for you.
The app itself should always have access to the database. So, it is the app that should create a dump of the database and store it elsewhere, e.g. on a server.
Kind regards,
Mark
