下面是如何对Swift做同样的事情;

var valueToSave = "someValue"
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(valueToSave, forKey: "preferenceName")

以后把它拿回来;

if let savedValue = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("preferenceName") {
    // Do something with savedValue
}

在Swift 3.0中

var valueToSave = "someValue"
UserDefaults.standard.set(valueToSave, forKey: "preferenceName")

if let savedValue = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "preferenceName") {

}

-(void)saveToUserDefaults:(NSString*)string_to_store keys:(NSString *)key_for_the_String
{
    NSUserDefaults *standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    if (standardUserDefaults) {
        [standardUserDefaults setObject:string_to_store forKey:key_for_the_String];
        [standardUserDefaults synchronize];
    }
}

叫它:

[self saveToUserDefaults:@"string_to_store" : @"key_for_the_string"];

使用以下方法检索字符串:

NSString * stored_string = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringforkey:key_for_the_String]

Swift 3更新

func setObject(value:AnyObject ,key:String)
{
    let pref = UserDefaults.standard
    pref.set(value, forKey: key)
    pref.synchronize()
}

func getObject(key:String) -> AnyObject
{
    let pref = UserDefaults.standard
    return pref.object(forKey: key)! as AnyObject
}

更准确地说

-(void)saveToUserDefaults:(NSString*)myString
{
    NSUserDefaults *standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    if (standardUserDefaults) {
        [standardUserDefaults setObject:myString forKey:@"timestamps"];
        [standardUserDefaults synchronize];
    }
}

用于保存:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setObject:@"YES" forKey:@"KTerminated"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]synchronize];

对于检索使用这个:

[[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]stringForKey:@"KTerminated"] isEqualToString:@"YES"];

就像这样:

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

// saving an NSString
[prefs setObject:@"TextToSave" forKey:@"keyToLookupString"];

然后检索:

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

// getting an NSString
NSString *myString = [prefs stringForKey:@"keyToLookupString"];
