RecordStore in WRT?

[stece]

hi all

Is there a way to store information in a safe way on a mobiledevice using WRT. In JavaME I used RecordStore but I can't find anything about RecordStore management in WRT.

Does WRT support this? Or is there an alternative?

Maybe by creating a file which contains the information? but the user could delete this file by accident :s

I looked into this but i Noticed that the setPreferenceKey() function expects a String to store

I need to store an array (from favourite destinations)
I could put it all in a very long string with for examble ";" as seperator
But then I'm limited in the length of the string, this array could become quite large over time.

Do you know something to solve this?

I'm not aware of any other savings method really,

How about using one key to hold the array of another keys?

Like:
setPreferenceKey("placnameA;placenameB", "placenames"); and then splitting the huge (it must be a huge if it does not fit in one string) array into smaller sections e.g. by starting alphabet.
setPreferenceKey("Andorra;Alabama", "placnameA");

You might also want to consider using JSON as format instead of csv.

So I've written the following 2 functions

'FavorieteRouteOpslaan' should save the two paramaters as a preference key using a long String.

'getFavoRoutes()' should get all the information and print it on the page in a <div> container

However my page only displays 'undefined'.

i know there is something wrong in the last function but I can't figure it out :s

I hope the dutch names don't cause too much confusion :P

function favorieteRouteOpslaan(vertrekplaats,  bestemming){
	var strBestemming = document.getElementById(bestemming).value;
	var strVertrekplaats = document.getElementById(vertrekplaats).value;	
	var routesString = widget.preferenceForKey("FavoRoutes");
	routesString += strVertrekplaats + ":" + strBestemming + ";"
	widget.setPreferenceForKey(routesString, "FavoRoutes");
	showContainer("FavorietenContainer");
}

function getFavoRoutes(){
	
	var routesString = widget.preferenceForKey("FavoRoutes");
	var routesArray = routesString.split(";");
	var eindString = "";
	
	for (var i = 0; i < routesArray.length; i++){
		var tempArray = routesArray[i].split(":");
		if (tempArray.length == 2) {
			var strVertrek = tempArray[0];
			var strBestemming = tempArray[1];
			eindString += "<br />Vertrekhalte: " + strVertrek + " bestemmingshalte: " + strBestemming + "/";
			
		}
	}
	document.getElementById("FavoRoutesContainer").innerHTML = eindString;
}

You may want to check the return value of widget.preferenceForKey("FavoRoutes");
It will return "undefined" if there is no value for that particular key.
