For Saving the data
NSString *balSnapTokenFromResponce;
balSnapTokenFromResponce = #"456294797493749873";
NSUserDefaults* defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject:balSnapTokenFromResponce forKey:#"Token"];
[defaults synchronize];
For Retreiving the Data
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:#"Token"]
This, as shown, makes no sense:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:#"Token"]
You must do something with the return value:
NSString *balSnapTokenFromResponce = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:#"Token"];
Perhaps you are, but that's not clear from your question. Because otherwise the code you've posted should work, assuming it's getting called.

I have two completely separate tasks being carried out but somehow they seem to connect.
In ViewController 1, I have:
NSString *foo = #"foo";
NSUserDefaults *default1 = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
[default1 setObject:foo forKey:#"foo"];
[default1 synchronize];
and when I do:
NSLog(#"%#", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"foo"]);
The value printed is what I expect it to be.
In ViewController 2, I have:
NSString *bar = #"bar";
NSUserDefaults *default2 = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
[default2 setObject:bar forKey:#"bar"];
[default2 synchronize];
And same again when I NSLog it, the value is what I expect it to be.
But somehow when i try to print object #"foo" again it gives me the value for the second object, in this case #"bar"
Any guidance on why my original value is being overridden by the second value even tough the variable/key names are different in the 2 classes?
You are doing this for both:
[foo setObject:bar forKey:#"bar"];
Shouldn't it be:
[defaults1 setObject:foo forKey:#"foo"];
And
[defaults2 setObject:bar forKey:#"bar"];
There is however, a greater problem:
NSString *foo = #"foo";
NSUserDefaults *default1 = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[default1 setObject:foo forKey:#"foo"];
[default1 synchronize];
NSLog(#"%#", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"foo"]);
NSString *bar = #"bar";
NSUserDefaults *default2 = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[default2 setObject:bar forKey:#"bar"];
[default2 synchronize];
NSLog(#"%#", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"bar"]);
Will work properly, however you're creating defaults1 and defaults2 which are both instances of standard defaults, so:
NSUserDefaults * defaults1 = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSUserDefaults * defaults2 = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
Are all pointers to the standardUserDefaults singleton. So they are identical instances. You could simply do:
NSUserDefaults *standardDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *foo = #"foo";
[standardDefaults setObject:foo forKey:#"foo"];
NSString *bar = #"bar";
[standardDefaults setObject:bar forKey:#"bar"];
[standardDefaults synchronize];
NSLog(#"%#", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"foo"]);
NSLog(#"%#", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"bar"]);
You can print out the entire set of user defaults with code like this
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSDictionary *dictionary = [defaults dictionaryRepresentation];
NSLog( #"%#", dictionary );
Note that Apple puts lots of garbage in the user defaults, so you'll have to scroll to the end to see foo and bar. I'm guessing that you have a typo in code that you haven't shown us, and either foo is being overwritten, or foo simply isn't being displayed properly.
The current code in your question (after 1 edit) is all good and should work correctly.
I use this code to save:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:#"vruch" forKey:#"nastoikaIP"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
and this code to load:
NSString* automanual = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
valueForKey:#"nastroikaIP"];
if ([automanual isEqualToString:#"vruch"]) {
autovruch.selectedSegmentIndex = 1;
[self obnovittext];
}
You should not use the method setValue: (from the NSKeyValueCoding protocol) but setObject: (from the NSUserDefaults class) to store the string.
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:#"vruch" forKey:#"nastroikaIP"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
You can retrieve the string using the method stringForKey:
NSString* automanual = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:#"nastroikaIP"];
Finally, note that it is generally better to define constants for the keys you use in NSUserDefaults to avoid any mistyping errors, which may be hard to debug when they happen.
Edit
It looks like you already did a mistyping error nastoikaIP != nastroikaIP. Notice the missing/extra r letter.
Your saving a string so you need to setObject rather than setValue
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:#"vruch" forKey:#"nastoikaIP"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
and change it for the loading aswell
NSString* automanual = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:#"nastroikaIP"];
if ([automanual isEqualToString:#"vruch"]) {
autovruch.selectedSegmentIndex = 1;
[self obnovittext];
}
I want to set some initial values for my NSUserDefault keys so that the first run of the app has some reasonable initial settings. I thought I ran across a simple way to do this in the app bundle .plist, but now I can't find it. Any ideas?
You should use the registerDefaults method of NSUserDefaults. Prepare a plist file in your bundle that contains the default preferences and then use that plist to register the defaults.
NSString *defaultPrefsFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"defaultPrefs" ofType:#"plist"];
NSDictionary *defaultPreferences = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:defaultPrefsFile];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:defaultPreferences];
You have to execute this code on every launch of your app. It will add these values to a separate domain in the user defaults hierarchy. Whenever your app's user defaults don't provide a value for a certain key, NSUserDefaults will fall back to this domain and retrieve the value from there.
If you have many default values, let use ola's answer, otherwise this is good for a few params
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
if (![defaults boolForKey:USERDEFAULT_IS_INITIALIZED]) {
[defaults setBool:YES forKey:USERDEFAULT_IS_INITIALIZED];
// Set initial values
...
[defaults synchronize];
}
if ([[[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] dictionaryRepresentation] allKeys] containsObject:#"initialValuesHaveBeenWritten"])
{
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:obj1 forKey:key1];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:obj2 forKey:key2];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:obj1 forKey:#"initialValuesHaveBeenWritten"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}
NB: Not tested, done from memory
-(void) loadDef
{
NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
_removeAd=[userDefaults boolForKey:SAVE_AD_STATUS];
NSString* strDefSetting=[userDefaults stringForKey:SAVE_STATUS_ADSETTING];
if(strDefSetting==nil
||[strDefSetting isEqualToString:#""]
)
{
strDefSetting=#"0.5";
}
_floatAdmob=strDefSetting.floatValue;//0.5;

How can I save and load the alpha values of a UIButton in an app?
I would like to save the state of the UIButton (e.g. its alpha value and whether it is hidden or not) and this would then load up when the user quits and reloads the app.
I've tried some bits of code with NSUserDefaults but with no luck.
Could somebody help with some sample code so that I can save and load the button's state?
Thanks,
James
Related to Shaharyar's answer (i don't know how to comment):
in this case you need to use NSNumber.
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:SOME_FLOAT] forKey:KEY];
because float is not an object, but NSNumber is one.
EDITED:
1) To make sure your defaults are created after the application runs at first time:
in your AppDelegate's initialize-method:
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSDictionary *appDefaults = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithFloat:SOME_FLOAT], #"YOUR_KEY",
nil];
[defaults registerDefaults:appDefaults];
2) Updating defaults after:
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[prefs setFloat:FLOAT_VALUE forKey:#"YOUR_KEY"];
[prefs synchronize];
3) Read defaults:
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
float FLOAT_VALUE = [prefs floatForKey:#"YOUR_KEY"];
Can you post some of the code?
NSUserDefaults is the place to store such information..
Assumption:
Did you make a call to [NSUserDefaults synchronize] after setting the values?
Code:
// Setting a value
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:VALUE forKey:KEY];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
// Getting a value
NSString *var1 = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:KEY];
In your case it would be:
// Setting a value
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setFloat:VALUE forKey:KEY];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
I have the following two procedures defined in my AppDelegate. saveSettings and loadSettings. I am calling my loadSettings procedure in the AppDidFinishLaunching method, and I am calling the saveSettings procedure in my settings view, once the save button is clicked.
Both methods seem to be called at the right time, the right number of times (once), and using the correct data. my settings object gets the right data, but the data does not seem to be actually saving. When I run the load code, my resulting variables are coming back empty (not nil).
I tried putting the same loading code in a different view and it works fine, but for some reason, I am not getting results in my appDelegate.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
[self loadSettings];
[self setDefaults];
}
-(void)loadSettings{
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
settings.masterLocation = [prefs objectForKey:#"masterLocation"];
settings.masterPort = [prefs objectForKey:#"masterPort"];
settings.userName = [prefs objectForKey:#"userName"];
settings.passWord = [prefs objectForKey:#"passWord"];
settings.autoLogin=[prefs objectForKey:#"autoLogin"];
if (settings.autoLogin == nil)
settings.autoLogin=#"N";
}
-(void)saveSettings:(SharedData *)d{
settings=d;
NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[prefs setObject:settings.masterLocation forKey:#"masterLocation"];
[prefs setObject:settings.masterPort forKey:#"masterPort"];
[prefs setObject:settings.userName forKey:#"userName"];
[prefs setObject:settings.passWord forKey:#"passWord"];
[prefs setObject:settings.autoLogin forKey:#"autoLogin"];
}
Doh.
In saveSettings, I was missing my [prefs synchronize];
to make it sample:
//Writing
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:1 forKey:#"anInt"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setDouble:1.2 forKey:#"aDouble"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setString:#"aString" forKey:#"aString"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
//Reading:
int i = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:#"anInt"]
