Does Corona support iOS Application Settings feature?

I’m wondering if Corona supports creating/reading/writing the native iOS Settings > Application Settings feature? Or do all Corona apps have to create their own system (which I’ve read about here already for creating setting files etc) for dealing with application settings?

Thanks,

I’ve not found any documentation about that, so I guess it’s not supported…

However, I’d like to know if Ansca is going to implement this feature in the future.
A very simple implementation could be something like having a .settings file with some markup elements, for example:

(label title)
(toggle button text=“blah blah” variable=“setting_a”/)
(selection list text =“blah blah” variable=“setting_b”)
(label =“text 1” value=“1”/)
(label =“text 2” value=“2”/)
(/selection)

and so on… such feature could save the settings in a preference file we can access on the app document folder…

I’d love to have something like that :wink:

I think it is not supported. I use a JSON library that you can get here:

Uhhhh, stupid question Mike but you use that JSON library to do WHAT exactly? I’m a bit of a newb.

I use it to store my app settings and my high score list inside a text file. It is very easy to use. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 2446 reply_id: 8395[/import]

Any news on current or future support for App Settings. This is really a powerful part of Cocoa development and it would make configuration hard work with Corona without as you have to build the UI and load and save the settings in code. I would want to edit the root.plist like the build.settings plist.

I’m not familiar with this but if it’s just structured data storage any reason why you can’t use sqlite? I’ve been using that for local data storage. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 2446 reply_id: 18316[/import]
