Saving data

[rcrissup]

Is it possible to save data somewhere on phone like settings for an application to read when started? It would needs to persist even if the device was powered off - that is to say it can't reside in memory.

import json

file_name = 'settings_dict.json'

settings_dict = { 'user_name'    : 'rcrissup',
                  'profile_url'  : 'http://omz-forums.appspot.com/user/rcrissup',
                  'member_since' : 'Jan. 25, 2014, 7:38 p.m' }

print(settings_dict)

with open(file_name, 'w') as out_file:
    json.dump(settings_dict, out_file)   # your data has now been written to a file in the iOS file system
    
# open up 'settings_dict.json' in Pythonist to see your data
# turn off, reboot, etc. your iOS device
# several minutes, hours, days, months later, you can run:

with open(file_name) as in_file:
    new_dict = json.load(in_file)  # your data has been read in from file into a new dict
    
print(new_dict)
