ToDo List / Check List for Android with java

Question

I would like to build a little app to store my check list or shopping list permenant on my android device (local storage only). What is the best way to do this. First I thought to create a Java Program thats stores the list in little text files but now I am thinking to bring in a database and connect this to the Program. How would you develop this program and with which tools?

Answer 2

im not so familiar with Android but you certainly can use Android Studio, which is nice IDE to make Android apps. if you want to use à database, i would recommend SQLite, a simple and efficient single file database.
