Hello guys!

Lets say I have a Textarea which contains automated generated text. I need 2 buttons where the first one saves all of its content on the storage device into a *.txt file. The second button will then delete this file (if exists). The third thing is that when i force-close my app and re-open it, the app should check when started if this *.txt file exists, if thats true it should read the content and directly fill my Textarea again. I tried several things and snippets but i can’t seem to really get this working…

Is there someone who can shortly show me the 3 (or more) functions I need to implement in order to archieve ‘save function’?

Thank you!
Kind regards,
Marco

Do you need to store in a text file? What about using localStorage instead of messing with files?

Save Text

var text = $('$m1-<your-screen>-textArea').val();
localStorage.setItem("text",text);

Recall Text

$('$m1-<your-screen>-textArea').val(localStorage.getItem("text"));

If you need to use a text file, I would suggest reading up on the PhoneGap File API. Maybe it will help. I have not used.
