Yes, it is possible. The data is stored in /data/data/<package_name>. More info is available here.

What type of data do you want to store ?

Hi..

Thanks very much for your reply..
I want to store documents, images.. which I can get from web..

And, can I create my own folders in android phone and save data in that folder, so that I can access them when I launch my application for the next time.

yes, you can create folders, everything goes into /data/data/<package_name>, but remember that the phone memory is very less, so use it carefully.

Hi,

My query is "how to create a folder with the name "albums" in data/data/<package_name>? How to create a new file in data/data/<package_name>/albums?
If i use the function "openFileOutput" present in FileOutputStream, the file is automatically created in data/data/<package_name>/files.
