The mainly used data storage methods in android are sqlit,shared preference and using assets or resources.if u dont want to use the sqlite.better try out sharedpreference.but i think u cant handle huge datas using sharedpreferences.

You can use SharedPreferences or files in device memory or external storage (SD card). References: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html

Serialize datastructures to a file or write JSON or XML files to a permanent storage(e.g. private storage dir or sdcard).

However you should take into account that Serialization is slow on android. Look also here: Recommendations for persisting data on Android?

If your data will not consume too much storage you should stay with private storage because SD Cards are not necessarily available to write.
