You can use XMP

Here is a nice little library to help you out: Apache Commons Imaging

since u are only storing a tag.. u should use a key value pair using Android Shared preferences

getSharedPreferences()

each image name with it's date of update makes a unique key and the value wud be the tag the user wants to add..

check out following link for further details

Android Developers SharedPreferences page

I had to do something similar (but not for images), and due to the nature of the app and usability, I used an xml file to store relevant information. Alternatively, you may use a local database to do the same, if there is going to a fair number of images.

If using XML file, perhaps, you may want to consider encryption, if necessary, so not allow access to the contents from outside the app.
