How can I save user input on their device using Kotlin?

Question

I have an app that records user inputs in EditTexts and then displays them in the second activity as a textView. However every time I close the app, those text fields reset. How could I save user input so that it will stay, even when the app is closed? Also, is there a way to reset the app with empty EditTexts every 24 hours.

Option 1: You can use SharedPreferences or DataStore
Option 2: Use local databases like SQLite (you can use Room)

Use SharedPreferences or Preferences DataStore to persist data even after closing the app.

As the others said you can use SharedPreferences or Room.

Click here for Room Database or here for SharedPreferences

Alternatively a guide to Room Database from an official source: here
