persistence

I'm looking for something like the keychain on the iPhone, but for Android development.
Something that gives me the possibility 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?

Edit

I would like to achieve a behavior in a way it works with games on a PC writing the save games to another folder so that after delete and later reinstall they are not lost.
