Discussion
When you finish encoding data, you must invoke
finishEncoding at which point data is filled. The format of the receiver is NSPropertyListBinaryFormat_v1_0.Example of [NSKeyedArchiver initForWritingWithMutableData]
NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc]init];
NSKeyedArchiver *archiver = [[NSKeyedArchiver alloc] initForWritingWithMutableData:data];
[archiver encodeObject:YOURDICTIONARY forKey: YOURDATAKEY];
archiver finishEncoding];
[data writeToFile:YOURFILEPATH atomically:YES];
[data release];
[archiver release];
Example of [NSKeyedArchiver initForWritingWithMutableData]
const NSString *AccountHolderKey = @"account_holder";
const NSString *AccountNumberKey = @"account_number";
const NSString *AccountBalanceKey = @"account_balance";
//...
NSString *accountHolder = @"Johnny Appleseed";
int accountNumber = 12345;
int balance = 1250;
NSMutableData *archivedData = [NSMutableData data];
NSKeyedArchiver *archiver = [[NSKeyedArchiver alloc] initForWritingWithMutableData:data];
[archiver encodeObject:accountHolder forKey:AccountHolderKey];
[archiver encodeInt:accountNumber forKey:AccountNumberKey];
[archiver encodeInt:balance forKey:AccountBalanceKey];
[archiver finishEncoding];
[archiver release];
