I am currently setting up my REST service using Echo to attach my xml files. My app has a need to save file in these 2 cases:

1. Save to a new file (xml or text) or modify it--which will hold setup information

2. Append to an xml file that is in use

   How can I accomplish these?

Do you need to save a file on the phone? Some browsers offer File API.. so you can try that. I don't believe all browser support it yet.

Yes, this would be saving in on IOS and Android devices. I know some apps I use on those devices do it.

I'd check the File API.. you can also see what PhoneGap provides.

Hi, just to add to what Max said:
1) maybe it will be enough for you to use localStorage, if you still need to save in file - it's quite complicated, but this should help http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/cor...
2) you can set up REST service to work with json, it would be easier to work with json in JS then work with xml.

Thanks.

1. With localStorage, doesn't the variable reset at each session or at least reboot? For example if I want to setup a date that I am starting a multi-level routine so I can pickup on the right schedule each time, can I use localStorage for that?
2. Do you have a pointer or reference on this?

1) localStorage data stays saved after reboot
2) to set us REST service to work with json just set Data Type = json in service settings. To save object as json to localStorage you should convert it to string
codelocalStorage.setItem("obj", JSON.stringify(obj));/code
to get saved object codevar obj = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("obj"))/code

Beautiful. Bless you, Marina! I'll give it a spin.
