How do I save information retrieved from an Addressbook to NSUserDefaults?

Question

Hi, I am trying to use a PeoplePicker to retrieve the name and address of a contact and store it into the NSUserDefaults, which i eventually want to retrieve it on a tableview.

My question is how do I save the information in NSUserDefaults. I have used NSDictionary, but I am not making any progress. so I'm trying to save the array to the NSUserDefaults.

Can someone help me?

My code look like this:

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
      shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
                                property:(ABPropertyID)property
                              identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {

    // Only inspect the value if it's an address.
    if (property == kABPersonAddressProperty) {
        ABMutableMultiValueRef multiValue = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
        for(CFIndex i=0;i<ABMultiValueGetCount(multiValue);i++)
        {
            ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);

        // Set up an NSArray and copy the values in.
        NSArray *theArray = [(id)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(multi) autorelease];

        // Figure out which values we want and store the index.
        const NSUInteger theIndex = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(multi, identifier);

        // Set up an NSDictionary to hold the contents of the array.
        NSDictionary *dictionary = [theArray objectAtIndex:theIndex];

        // Set up NSStrings to hold keys and values.  First, how many are there?
        const NSUInteger theCount = [dictionary count];
        NSString *keys[theCount];
        NSString *values[theCount];

        // Get the keys and values from the CFDictionary.  Note that because
        // we're using the "GetKeysAndValues" function, you don't need to
        // release keys or values.  It's the "Get Rule" and only applies to
        // CoreFoundation objects.
        [dictionary getObjects:values andKeys:keys];

        // Set the address label's text.
        NSString *address;
        address = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@, %@, %@",
                   [dictionary objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressStreetKey],
                   [dictionary objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressCityKey],
                   [dictionary objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressCountryKey]];

        NSLog(@"%@", address);

        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
        [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }
    NSUserDefaults *locatie = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    CFRelease(multiValue);
}

    return NO;
}

Answer 1

[locatie setObject:yourObject forKey:@"YoureKey"];

If you want to store the adress use:

[locatie setObject:adress forKey:@"adressKey"];

to retrive use:

adress = [locatie valueForKey:@"adressKey"];

NOTE: In these examples locatie is: NSUserDefaults *locatie = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
