Persisting Data

[sam.almighty85]

Hello All,

I would like to know what is the best way to persist application data on S40 devices. Is RMS store the best way? Could someone kindly help me with this.

Thanking you,

Yes, for S40 RMS is the best way.... and you don not need to take care the Write Permissions on memory card or worry about the data security... as the data on memory card may be read by different programs.....

We can help you more...if you let us know what type of data do you want to persist for your app ? how much ?

Thank you Amitabh. We store enterprise data like the users appointments etc. The data is more of structured objects. I know that a framework like Floggy works well on JME devices but am not sure if this approach would be good for an S40 device.

Hi S.A.Norton Stanley,

Depending on the requirement the way to store data differs.If the scope of the data is for the life time of application (i.e installation to uninstallation ) then you can go for the RMS , as RMS is a Volatile data storage . OR if you want the data to be available even though the application is uninstalled you can go for the file system.
