I need to save my app preferences, what you guys use to do it?
I always use the Preferences library on PB, but since not exists in SB, I must use regular files? or any other methods?
Thanks!
Edit: My app is an Android one.

hi
CreateFile(0,"preferences.txt",@SaveFileCallback(),#PB_LocalStorage)
works with adroid created app, i have use it.
user can delete using appsettings-> "clear all data" (not clear cache), which is way too accepted

Peter, have you tried the PreferenceKeyValue() function?
Seems the function ever return: ""
First, some variables appear as v_ but they are global, so I changed v_ to g_ but this did not solve the problem.
Can you take a look?
Thanks!
Code: Select all
; Examine keys in the group 'Window'
ExaminePreferenceKeys()
While NextPreferenceKey() ; While a key exists
MessageRequester("Key group 'Window'", PreferenceKeyName() + " = " + PreferenceKeyValue()) ; Display the key with its data

Ok, I skiped a v_
so... now seems to work ok.
You must change some v_ to g_ in the preferences.sbi
Anyway I think you should check it

Also seems CreatePreferences doesn't erase the file if exists

OpenFileRequester and ExportFile or deal with a lot of support issues do to cache policies, and yes literally everything besides those is dictated by cache policy of each user. Avoid Google-Drive stuff it's all broken.
NPM import is broken for Cordova libraries so you can't use third-party Cordova plugins right now(this is why I haven't fixed my Android/IOS file post or done new tips&tricks with BT, HTTP, WLAN etc..), and the official Cordova File plugin that does work just does the requester-download method SB already does..
The other solution is cloud over https but on desktop you have to run a server that disables XSS and XSRF protection..
