    DataSaver and user input/user name?

    Hi! :)
    I'm sorry if this is a silly question. I'm pretty clueless, but Gideros and the community make it fun!

    I think I'm starting to get dataSaver working for the most part... but I am looking for a way to allow users to name their character. (Well, for the name to be saved.)
    The user defines 'username' with a TextInputDialog...

    local function onComplete(event)
    if event.buttonIndex then
    username = event.text,
    dataSaver.saveValue("|D|username", username)

    ...doesn't seem to work, and I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, or dataSaver isn't meant for that. If that can't be done with dataSaver is there something else I can use in Gideros for it?

      @underbliss you don't need |D| for saveValue because it is saving value in common document.
      You only need |D| for save and load methods, because they are saving data in separate files.

      But all in all it should have worked
      local function onComplete(event)
   if event.buttonIndex then
      username = event.text, 
      dataSaver.saveValue("username", username)
      print(dataSaver.loadValue("username"))

      Ohhhh!

      Humm..
      in the main.lua I've got...

      username = dataSaver.loadValue("username")
      if(not username) then
      username = "Alice"
      dataSaver.saveValue("username", username)
      end

      when I close and reopen the game username always reverts back to Alice, maybe I'm doing something wrong there?
