Need some assistance in saving data from a textview

[BioBuff]

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I have a universal binary that basically brings up a couple textviews in both the iPhone and iPad versions.

Let's say someone writes a 2-page letter in the textview - what is the easiest way to save this text so that it saves automatically?

The user writes the text, they leaves the textview, go elsewhere in the app, and when they return the text they wrote is still there.

Then, if they completely close the app (for example, iPhone gets a phone call) and user comes back a day later, the text is still there. Essentially, the text stays saved until user deletes it.

It needs to do the above for both the iPhone and iPad versions. Newbie to saving data here, so any help is appreciated.

Is there some standard "save" code that I can use for a basic textview?

Thanks.

A friendly bump. Thanks.

1. setup a timer and periodically save the data in a separate thread.
2. whenever user leave the textview and enter other screen, pull the text from the text view and save it in a variable. this prevents you from losing the text in textview when textview id purged out due to memory warnings..

Thank you very much. I am trying to learn as much as I can here.

What would you recommend I use to save the data automatically upon app termination? I need data stored for a possibly a long time and everything needs to be saved.

Thanks again.

You probably have to do both. The seconds option does not say how/when to save. Rather it helps you in preventing the text being lost due to unloading of TextView on memory warnings.
