How to save app settings

[mrossen]

Hi there,

How are app settings stored in android?
I would like to store my app settings like you do in reg. or ini files in windows.

The simplest way is to store a file in File.DirInternal.
Put all the settings in a Map and then use File.WriteMap to save the settings.

Very interesting. Any sample??

Actually a better answer would be to use StateManager (which uses this technique internally): http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...id-applications-settings-state.html#post54161

Whether you use StateManager or roll your own save/reload routines, be sure to also see this Documentation Wiki page regarding the use of Activity_Pause and Resume.
