Android Question Program design question

It is not a matter of efficiency but rather of maintainability.
Don't put data in your code. It will be ugly and difficult to update.

There are many possible formats. There isn't enough information to say which one will work better.

Thanks for answering.

Looking up the best way to rephrase the question lead me to the answer.

I had a misconception on how memory was utilized on Android devices. I was under the misconception that all memory was shaired between the cpu and storage.
