[Q] Regarding layout and storing of data

[K12]

Hi there, I'm in the middle of building an app with the same navigation structure as this app which involves a list of items which when clicked displays details pertaining to that item in another layout.

So I wanted to ask a few questions:
1) Which is better?
a) To use fragments, one for the listView and another one to display the details.
b) To use 2 separate activities for each layout and to pass data using intents to handle selection.

2) What is a better way to store data in this case? JSON or SQLite? Can you please briefly explain why?

Thanks for your time.

1) A: Fragments as its easier to create large screen (tablet/phablet) layouts for fragments as you can have them side-by-side

2) SQLite - fast, easy to store and get data from, easy to code for, compact.

Regarding 2),

If I want to make the app accessible to people of different languages, which would be a better approach?
a) To create separate databases for different languages.
b) To create one database with the relevant tables for different languages.

I would go for having one database and relevant tables for the different languages.
