Most android apps require saving information between client sessions. We would want to save each type of data according to its purpose and when we’re going to use it. Android platform provides several methods to handle your data and persisting it.
In the previous tutorials, I showed how to create Material Design android applications. Those applications were mostly UI based and didn’t really did an intensive background work. Switching views and showing some web service results is a trivial task which can be handled by the phone CPU easily. But what if we want to analyze our data before we serve it to our users? well, in that case, we would probably want to add some backend services to do all the hard work.
This tutorial shows how to add a Backend layer to your Android application and send/receive data from it
