How to implement add to favorites functionality

[arash]

Hi All,

I am working on tab based application that needs to have the add to favorites functionality

I want to save a mutable array of my custom class to a file as my favorite list (maximum 10 objects).

Should I use pList or create my own file?

Does iPhone Sdk have any kind of facilities for doing that?

Where can I find related information/examples in this regards?

Thanks in advance for your help

Do a search on this forum for "NSUserDefaults". There are examples of code that will make it easy.

I used mySQL and saved my custom objects on a table.
Let me know if you need more info.

Is a SQL the only way to save things in the iPhone. If it is can you give me a link or something that would say how to create an SQL. Because I think that is where I first need to start.

You can use archiver as well there is a good video for that on Vimeo website.
I used the SQLLite manager(it's a FireFox Extension) for creating the database.
I basically followed the instruction on :
