In my app, I allow the user to enter two phone numbers that can be dialed quickly using an autodial feature within the app.
I use native text fields for the items and then at the end, I save the settings. Only… they aren’t saving. I don’t understand why.
Here is the code for the settings routine. The save routine is actually in the globals below.

And here is the globals, which is where the save routine is. I have a print statement, confirming that the save routine is running and I get no error.
-- globals.lua local globals = {} local json = require("json") globals.font = { regular = native.systemFont, bold = native.systemFontBold, } globals.bigScreen = 0 globals.myTotal = 0 globals.document = 0 globals.documentToShow = "none" globals.returnScene = "none" globals.quickCall = "" globals.MedCommand = "" globals.Registered = "" globals.theHospital = "" -- load the settings function loadTable(filename) local path = system.pathForFile( filename, system.DocumentsDirectory) local contents = "" local myTable = {} local file = io.open( path, "r" ) if file then -- read all contents of file into a string local contents = file:read( "\*a" ) myTable = json.decode(contents); io.close( file ) print("File loaded") return myTable end return nil end -- Save specified value to specified encrypted file function saveValue(strFilename, strValue) local theFile = strFilename local theValue = strValue local path = system.pathForFile( theFile, system.DocumentsDirectory ) local file = io.open( path, "w+" ) if file then -- If the file exists, then continue. Another way to read this line is 'if file == true then'. file:write(theValue) -- This line will write the contents of the table to the .json file. io.close(file) -- After we are done with the file, we close the file. print("File written") return true -- If everything was successful, then return true end end local tmpSettings tmpSettings = {} tmpSettings = loadTable("settings.dat") if tmpSettings then print("File found") globals.quickCall = tmpSettings.quickCall globals.MedCommand = tmpSettings.MedCommand else print("File not found") globals.quickCall = "6104028000" globals.MedCommand = "6104021473" globals.Registered = "N" tmpSettings = {} tmpSettings.quickCall = "6105551212" tmpSettings.MedCommand = "6105552121" saveValue("settings.dat", json.encode(tmpSettings)) end return globals
Anyone have any ideas?
