Hey guys I've gotten a lot of help for the first two questions I asked here so I thought I'd ask again. 

I'm implementing a leaderboard / highscore board in my game, for which I want to read from a file the current high scores, and write to it if there is a new high score. 

I read this: http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/bb10/com.qnx.doc.native_sdk.devguide/com.qnx.do... and saw you can only write in /data.

I'm not sure how to implement this. What do I put in here:

QFile file("data/documents/testfile.txt");
... then use out << scores;

That doesn't seem to work. I can read high scores fine from assets folder, but not sure how to write them back for later.

Thanks

Hi,

The directory should be created first:

QDir dir;

dir.mkpath("data/documents");

The file should be opened before writing:

QFile file("data/documents/testfile.txt");

file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text); // remove QIODevice::Text if the file is binary

Please check this page for details:

When absolute URL is needed the following line can be used:

QDir::homePath() + "/data/filename"

as a sidenote, you can also write in the tmp folder or the shared folder.
