Saving data from tableview on selection. Ideally need to save data from search results from map

I have a tableview displaying search results of map view. And creates and annotation when selected. i Need to save data on select Which consist of let addressLine = String( format:"%@%@%@%@%@%@%@", // street number selectedItem.subThoroughfare ?? "", firstSpace, // street name selectedItem.thoroughfare ?? "", comma, // city selectedItem.locality ?? "", secondSpace, // state selectedItem.administrativeArea ?? "" )

    return addressLine
}

Hey Edwin, I'm not sure what the question is. What data (address data I'm assuming) and where do you want to save it, what do you mean by save, to device or database?

I'm just trying to understand what you're doing and need help with. :)

You could save in a few different ways, sorry its been a while since I have

  • Local plist file on device

    • This is the way I prefer, but I haven't yet done it in Swift. I found this tutorial which should help:
    • pList tutorial

  • Core Data

    • This is a localised database where you can store fields.
    • core data

  • Create an external database

    • This is probably the most complicated, but flexible as it can be reused for android or web. But you have to know php or c#, depending on what database and server side language.

Thanks a lot for your reply.... We need some good tutorials in IOS using map-kit. i.e. cllocation(distance, Manager), Geofencing. Most of apps use maps. Would be really appreciate if teamtreehouse comes up with these tutorials.
