iOS Saving a Text

[Programmer]

How can you Save and read information in your application such as a high score.

How can you Save and read information in your application such as a high score.

Do you mean between sessions of your app running? If so, consult your thread about NSUserDefaults, particularly the post by Macdonaldsd.

 

[Programmer]

yes

yes. I tried that but for some it didn't save the text.

yes. I tried that but for some it didn't save the text.

What is going wrong with it? Do you have a code snippet we can look at?

 

[Programmer]

Heres the code

I tried a simple test to see if it worked

- (void)viewDidLoad {
		     [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:@"Name" forKey:@"Text"];
    [super viewDidLoad];
}


- (IBAction)SetTextFieldToSavedText {
	
	NSString *name = [ [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"Text"];
	
	names.text = name;
	
}

- (IBAction)PersonEndedTyping {
	
	[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:names forKey:@"Text"];

}

The problem is that what it told it ti save isn't saving.

Here's your problem:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[B]names[/B] forKey:@"Text"];

names is a UITextField object, not an NSString. What you are doing is setting the UITextField object for that key in NSUserDefaults. What you want to do is set the value of the text property of the UITextField. Like this:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:names[B].text[/B] forKey:@"Text"];
