在所有的移动开发平台数据持久化都是很重要的部分:在j2me中是rms或保存在应用程序的目录中,在symbian中可以保存在相应的磁盘目录中和数据库中。symbian中因为权限认证的原因,在3rd上大多数只能访问应用程序的private目录或其它系统共享目录。在iphone中,apple博采众长,提供了多种数据持久化的方法,下面笔者会逐个进行详细的讲解。

iphone提供的数据持久化的方法,从数据保存的方式上讲可以分为三大部分:属性列表、对象归档、嵌入式数据库(SQLite3)、其他方法。

一、属性列表NSUserDefaults

NSUserDefaults类的使用和NSKeyedArchiver有很多类似之处,但是查看NSUserDefaults的定义可以看出,NSUserDefaults直接继承自NSObject而NSKeyedArchiver 继承自NSCoder。这意味着NSKeyedArchiver实际上是个归档持久化的类,也就可以使用NSCoder类的[encodeObject: (id)objv forKey:(NSString *)key]方法来对数据进行持久化存储。

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

NSString *strOne = @“Persistent data1”;

NSString *strTwo = @“Persistent data 2”;

NSMutableArray *persistentArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

[persistentArray addObject:strOne];

[persistentArray addObject:strTwo];

//archive

NSUserDefaults *persistentDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

[persistentDefaults setObject:persistentArray forKey:@“myDefault”];

NSString *descriptionDefault = [persistentDefaults description];

NSLog(@“NSUserDefaults description is :%@”,descriptionDefault);

//unarchive

NSArray *UnpersistentArray =

[persistentDefaults objectForKey:@“myDefault”];

NSString *UnstrOne = [UnpersistentArray objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *UnstrTwo = [UnpersistentArray objectAtIndex:1];

NSLog(@“UnstrOne = %@,UnstrTwo = %@”,UnstrOne,UnstrTwo);

// Override point for customization after application launch

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

}

二、对象归档NSKeyedArchiver和NSKeyedUnarchiver

iPhone和symbian 3rd一样,会为每一个应用程序生成一个私有目录,这个目录位于

/Users/sundfsun2009/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications下,并随即生成一个数字字母串作为目录名,在每一次应用程序启动时,这个字母数字串都是不同于上一次的,上一次的应用程序目录信息被转换成名为.DS_Store隐藏文件,这个目录的文件结构如下图:

通常使用Documents目录进行数据持久化的保存,而这个Documents目录可以通过NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,NSUserdomainMask,YES)得到,代码如下:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

NSString *strOne = @“Persistent data1”;

NSString *strTwo = @“Persistent data 2”;

NSArray *persistentArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:strOne,strTwo,nil];

NSArray *pathArray = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSAllDomainsMask, YES);

int pathLen = [pathArray count];

NSLog(@“path number is :%d”,pathLen);

NSString *filePath;

for(int i = 0; i 《 pathLen; i++)

{

filePath = [pathArray objectAtIndex:i];

NSLog(@“%d path is :%@”,i,filePath);

}

NSString *myFilename = [filePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@“myFile.rtf”];

NSLog(@“myfile‘s path is :%@”,myFilename);

// no files generated in correspond directory now

[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:persistentArray toFile:myFilename];

// now the myFile.rtf is generated

// Override point for customization after application launch

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

}

NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains()的第二个参数是个枚举值,在笔者的测试代码中,只有NSUserDomainMask和NSAllDomainsMask可以获取到目录数为1,其余的皆为0,打印出来的结果如下:

Terminating in response to SpringBoard‘s termination.

从打印的结果如下,每次应用程序启动时生成的数字字母串目录名字并不一样。在调用[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:persistentArray toFile:myFilename]方法前,文件myFile.rtf并每生成,只有在调用此方法后才产生相应的文件。

从打印的结果如下,每次应用程序启动时生成的数字字母串目录名字并不一样。在调用[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:persistentArray toFile:myFilename]方法前,文件myFile.rtf并每生成,只有在调用此方法后才产生相应的文件。

下面需要把数据从属性列表中读取出来,在上面的代码中,笔者使用NSArray保存数据。但在大多数应用程序中,数据的尺寸并不是固定的,这个时候就需要使用NSMutalbeArray动态的保存数据,代码优化如下:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

NSString *myFilename;

// archive

{

NSString *strOne = @“Persistent data1”;

NSString *strTwo = @“Persistent data 2”;

NSMutableArray *persistentArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

[persistentArray addObject:strOne];

[persistentArray addObject:strTwo];

NSArray *pathArray = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSAllDomainsMask, YES);

int pathLen = [pathArray count];

NSLog(@“path number is :%d”,pathLen);

NSString *filePath;

for(int i = 0; i 《 pathLen; i++)

{

filePath = [pathArray objectAtIndex:i];

NSLog(@“%d path is :%@”,i,filePath);

}

myFilename = [filePath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@“myFile.rtf”];

NSLog(@“myfile’s path is :%@”,myFilename);

[NSKeyedArchiver archiveRootObject:persistentArray toFile:myFilename];

}

// unarchive

{

NSArray *unarchiveArray = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:myFilename];

NSString *UnstrOne = [unarchiveArray objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *UnstrTwo = [unarchiveArray objectAtIndex:1];

NSLog(@“UnstrOne = %@,UnstrTwo = %@”,UnstrOne,UnstrTwo);

}

// Override point for customization after application launch

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

}

输出结果如下:

[Session started at 2009-11-10 22:41:57 +0800.]

2009-11-10 22:41:59.344 PersistentExample[1082:207] path number is :1

2009-11-10 22:41:59.346 PersistentExample[1082:207] 0 path is :/Users/sundfsun2009/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/055CD17C-864E-4A83-ABF0-5F01EE85BD5A/Documents

从上面的图中可以看到,目录中还有个tmp目录,读者也可以把数据保存在tmp目录中,获取这个目录使用NSTemporaryDirectory()方法。

三、嵌入式数据库(SQLite3)

嵌入式数据库持久化数据就是把数据保存在iphone的嵌入式数据库系统SQLite3中,本质上来说,数据库持久化操作是基于文件持久化基础之上的。

要使用嵌入式数据库SQLite3,首先需要加载其动态库libsqlite3.dylib,这个文件位于/Xcode3.1.4/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.1.sdk/usr/lib目录下。在Framework文件夹上右击,选择“Adding-》Existing Files.。.”,定位到上述目录并加载到文件夹。

首先在头文件中做如下修改:

#import 《UIKit/UIKit.h》

#include “sqlite3.h”

#define kFileName @“mydb.sql”

@interface PersistentExampleAppDelegate : NSObject 《UIApplicationDelegate》 {

sqlite3 *database;

UIWindow *window;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;

@end

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

NSArray *path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *paths = [[path objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:kFileName];

NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

BOOL findFile = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:paths];

NSLog(@“Database file path = %@”,paths);

// 如果找到了数据库文件

if(findFile)

{

NSLog(@“Database file have already existed.”);

if(sqlite3_open([paths UTF8String], &database) != SQLITE_OK)//打开数据库失败

{

sqlite3_close(database);

NSAssert(0,@“Failed to open database”);

}

}else

{

NSLog(@“Database file does not exsit!”);

if(sqlite3_open([paths UTF8String], &database) != SQLITE_OK)//打开数据库失败

{

sqlite3_close(database);

NSAssert(0,@“Failed to open database”);

}

}

char *errorMsg;

//创建表

NSString *createSQL = @“create table if not exists fields (row integer primary key, field_data text);”;

if(sqlite3_exec(database, [createSQL UTF8String],NULL,NULL,&errorMsg)!=SQLITE_OK)

{

sqlite3_close(database);

NSAssert1(0,@“Error creating table: %s”,errorMsg);

}

NSString *strOne = @“Persistent data1”;

NSString *strTwo = @“Persistent data 2”;

NSMutableArray *persistentArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

[persistentArray addObject:strOne];

[persistentArray addObject:strTwo];

for (int i = 0; i 《 [persistentArray count]; i++) {

NSString *upDataSQL = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@“insert or replace into

fields (row,field_data) values (%d,‘%@’);”,i,[persistentArray objectAtIndex:i]];

char* errorMsg;

if(sqlite3_exec(database,[upDataSQL UTF8String],NULL,NULL,&errorMsg)

!= SQLITE_OK)

{

sqlite3_close(database);

NSAssert(0,@“Failed to open database”);

}

}

//unarchive

NSString *query = @“select row, field_data from fields order by row”;//查找表中的数据

sqlite3_stmt *statement;

if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, [query UTF8String], -1, &statement, nil)

== SQLITE_OK)

{

while(sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW)

{

int row = sqlite3_column_int(statement, 0);

char *rowData = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(statement, 1);

NSString *fieldName = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@“show%d”,row];

NSString *fieldValue = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:rowData];

NSLog(@“fieldName is :%@,fieldValue is :%@”,fieldName,fieldValue);

[fieldName release];

[fieldValue release];

}

sqlite3_finalize(statement);

}

// Override point for customization after application launch

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

}

在上面的代码中,我们使用

NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

BOOL findFile = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:paths];

来判断数据库文件是否已经存在,其实在大多数情况下是没有必要的,sqlite3_open()方法会自动帮我们判断数据库文件是否存在,如果不存在则创建心的数据库文件。

四、其它方法

除了上面的三种方法来保存持久化数据以外,我们还可以用写文件到磁盘的方式来保存持久化数据。

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

NSString *strOne = @“Persistent data1”;

NSString *strTwo = @“Persistent data 2”;

NSMutableArray *persistentArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

[persistentArray addObject:strOne];

[persistentArray addObject:strTwo];

NSArray *filePathArray = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);

NSString *filePath =

- [[filePathArray objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@“mydatas.plist”];

[[NSArray arrayWithObjects:persistentArray,nil] writeToFile:filePath atomically:NO];

//load

NSMutableArray *saveDataArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

if([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath])

saveDataArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:filePath];

else

saveDataArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle

- mainBundle] pathForResource:@“Savedatas” ofType:@“plist”]];

-

NSArray *strArray = [saveDataArray objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *UnstrOne = [strArray objectAtIndex:0];

NSString *UnstrTwo = [strArray objectAtIndex:1];

// Override point for customization after application launch

[window makeKeyAndVisible];

}
