iOS Question File.DirDefaultExternal equivalent for B4i?

[ralvy]

I'm a B4X newbie exploring the KeyValueStore module in Android and iOS. In the B4A example project for KVS, there's a Starter module that initializes KVS like this:

Sub Service_Create
  kvs.Initialize(File.DirDefaultExternal, "datastore2")
End Sub

I assume I need something like that on the B4i side of things. Two questions arise:

1. Since B4i had no Starter module, do I place that in as a method after Sub Process_Globals and before Private Sub Application_Start?

2. What File member would be the equivalent of DirDefaultExternal on the B4i side of things?

1. No. You place it inside Application_Start. This is always the entry point.

2. See this short tutorial for more information about the various folders: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/files-and-folders.46137/#content

You should probably use File.DirLibrary or DirDocuments.

Perfect.
