You could also use the Properties class: http://www.javaalmanac.com
class Settings{
public static String saveSetting(String PropFile, String property)throws Exception{
Properties props=new Properties();
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream(PropFile);
props.load(fi);
fi.close();
return props.getProperty(property
}
public static void saveSetting(String PropFile, String property, String value)throws Exception{
Properties props=new Properties();
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream(PropFile);
props.load(fi);
fi.close();
props.setProperty(property
FileOutputStream fo=new FileOutputStream(PropFile)
props.save(fo,"");
fo.close();
}
}
simillarly you can implement saveallsetting by passing HashMap of key pair values
class Settings{
public static String getSetting(String PropFile, String property)throws Exception{
Properties props=new Properties();
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream(PropFile);
props.load(fi);
fi.close();
return props.getProperty(property
}
public static void saveSetting(String PropFile, String property, String value)throws Exception{
Properties props=new Properties();
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream(PropFile);
props.load(fi);
fi.close();
props.setProperty(property
FileOutputStream fo=new FileOutputStream(PropFile)
props.save(fo,"");
fo.close();
}
}
