How can I can save HashMap in my Android app?

I have member variable HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String[], Integer>> in some activity in my Android app. The HashMap supposed to survive from user launch app for the first time till the app will be deleted. I can't use shared preferences because there aren't such put method. I know about room database but I don't really want to use that in this case. Please, tell me which options are there to save HashMap and store it in memory.

You can try to serialize HashMap to string. Import this library in your build.gradle file first.

implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.6'

To have serialize data you can follow this code:

public static String hashToString (HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String[], Integer>> hashMap) {
    if (hashMap == null) return null;
    
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    //import java.lang.reflect.Type;
    //import com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken;
    Type type = new TypeToken<HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String[], Integer>>(){}.getType();

    return gson.toJson(hashMap, type);
}

Now you can convert any object to string you can use this method..

To get back object from string:

public static HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String[], Integer>> stringToHash (String json) {
    if (json == null) return null;
    
    Gson gson = new Gson();
    //import java.lang.reflect.Type;
    //import com.google.gson.reflect.TypeToken;
    Type type = new TypeToken<HashMap<Integer, HashMap<String[], Integer>>(){}.getType();

    return gson.fromJson(json, type);
}
