Settings Bundle

[tarnfeld]

For some reason getting the value of a "PSMultiValueSpecifier" item in a settings.bundle returns null?
Is there any reason of this?

nimblekit by default does not support any bundles (unless you mastered to do it).
with NKSettings you can save some variable with settings.setValueForKey() and then read it back using settings.getValueForKey().
it's not automatically updated, what I mean

var settings = new NKSettings();
settings.setValueForKey("5", "SomeNumber");
var saved_number = settings.getValueForKey("SomeNumber"); // saved_number now 5
saved_number = 10; // now it's 10, but in settings it's still 5, so if you want it to be saved you call
settings.setValueForKey(saved_number, "SomeNumber"); // now it's number 10 saved for "SomeNumber" key

so basically you can read from prefs only what you put there and saved values persist with application launches

Hi,
I am not sure what you have done - or misunderstood me... but i was right, i knew i was!

I just made the settings.bundle (for the iphone settings app) and just set / got the value of it from your NKSettings();

! haha

I recently raised 'setting' integration as a feature request but was told by Sunny that you (tarnfeld) have already successfully implemented this. Would be useful if you could share your technique and or code as this is something I would be interested in implementing.

Thanks in advance.

well, to implement settings bundle you don't need even single line of obj-c code, that's why I can't integrate that in NimbleKit, you can check also http://www.iphonesdkarticles.com/2008/0 ... ences.html and create settings bundle as described there. But instead of obj-c

Code: Select all

NSString *sliderValue = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"slider_key"];

you will need to use NK analog

Code: Select all

settings.getValueForKey

[apt]

you will need to use NK analog

Code: Select all

settings.getValueForKey

Can you elaborate on this? I've successfully created a setting bundle but stuck on how to use setting.getValueForKey to read the setting into the app. What's the correct syntax?

Thanks in advance.

I know your busy on 1.7 but can I bump this topic

what is the problem exactly? send sample application to me and I'll fix/add what is needed (but first write in e-mail what is needed exactly)

Thanks Sunny, Email sent.

Sunny, I never quite resolved this issue interacting using the setting bundle.

In this instance I'm wanting to change a value in the setting bundle based on the version of the app using NKGetAppVersion (The setting bundle will always automatically update to reflect the version number when its changed). This is what I have so far but I dont think I'm anywhere near a solution.

AppVersion=NKGetAppVersion();
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"Version"] = AppVersion;

Thanks in advance.
