  1. POHow do you create and access array elements in settings bundle
    text
    copied!<p>I want to save strings as array elements in a Settings.bundle Root.plist and be able to access those strings from the Setting bundle on subsequent launches of my app. I could not find a good example of this anywhere. In xcode, I have created the Root.plist and it looks something like:</p> <pre><code>Key iPhone Setting Schema Strings Filename Preference Items Item 0 (Title- My Title) Type Title Title My Title Identifier My Identifier Values Item 0 my string 1 Item 1 my string 2 Item 3 my string 3 </code></pre> <p>This produces xml as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;StringsTable&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Root&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;PreferenceSpecifiers&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Type&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;PSTitleValueSpecifier&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Title&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;My Title&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Key&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;My Identifier&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Values&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;my string 1&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;my string 2&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;my string 3&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am using the following code to attempt an access of the Values from the Identifier key "My Identifier":</p> <pre><code>NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; NSArray *mystrings = [defaults arrayForKey:@"My Identifier"]; for (int i=0;i&lt;3;i++) { NSLog(@"%@", [mystrings objectAtIndex:i]); } </code></pre> <p>The value of mystrings is 0 at runtime. Consequently, the Values of "my string 1", "my string 2", and "my string 3" are not getting printed by the NSLog.</p> <p>Can someone help me with this. Also, what would be the correct way to update those values?</p>
