> Android Persistent files are (also) stored in an inconvenient place by default: Either the application data directory (not accounting for a possible multi-user environment), or the root of the SD Card, if it is mounted (And on Nexus devices, the emulated SD Card is *always* mounted)
> See CB-285 for much more discussion, and http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html for a good explanation of the properties of various storage locations.
> There should be a single preference in config.xml for Android persistent files. It can take one of two values (currently; additional values may be added later if we have better ideas)
> {code}
> <preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" /> (Old location logic)
> <preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Internal" /> (New location)
> {code}
> "{{Internal}}" will put persistent files under the user's application internal storage directory {{Activity.getFilesDir() + "/files"}} -- the extra {{/files}} means that other filesystem plugins can register roots at different places under {{getFilesDir()}} which will not be visible to one another.
