Text in an app

[fabie1]

Hi,

I'm new here and i'm new to iPhone/iPad development.
I'm almost done reading Apress' "Beginning iPhone development (3)" and I'm really making progress. Now I have one, probably stupid, question. When you have an app with a lot of text, just like a story, how do you include it in your app? Do you have it hardcoded into the app (doesn't sound like the best idea to me), do you have a txt file and load it into an NSString, an array, a dictionary? I really don't know what's the best approach here and I'd appreciate some advice.

So it's (a lot of) text that's gotta be included in the app (not coming from the Internet) and it should be easily readable.

Thanks,

Fabian

I have a bunch of quizzes for my app. I have each quiz in its own txt file and then it is loaded into an array in order to be previewed. I started off with it being hardcoded and it took a really long time. Now with just one quiz view controller it is so much easier and dynamic.

Ok thanks! So you load the data from the txt file into a NSArray and then present in a UITextView? Thanks for helping me out! Btw, your app looks cool, maybe I'll buy it later

Yeah. So I have the UITextview and I just keep appending the question and answers. It is just so much easier and if you want to change something you just change the text file, no code. And thanks for the comment about my app.
