I'm looking for something like the Keychain on the iPhone, but for Android development. Something that gives me the capability to save small key-value pairs that are persistent and unchanged even if the user reinstalls the application.

Is there something like that? Can I use the standard preferences that way?

I would like to achieve a behavior similar to the way it works with games on a PC - writing the save files to another folder so that after deletion and reinstallation the save files are not lost.

Edit:

The bounty ran out without somebody mentioning the accountManager. I just stumbled over it. Would that be a method to achieve the behaviour described by me?
