[Solved!]How can i save data from an app in java?

Question

Hey there

So i'm making an application for next school year for practice.
Like a planner of some kind.
it's gonna keep me organised aswell.
Right now i have a notes tab.

But i wonder how i can save the thing i type in there when i close the app and reopen it.
Do i have to make an entire database or? cuz im still learning the very very very basics of that xd.

its going to have a calender too, schedule,.. lots of stuff, but i wanna start if i can even save the note tab lmao.

And i have a login screen, but that doesn't really need saving.

Answer 1

i think ill have to try something else.
Serialization it is i suppose.

Answer 3

i take that back

public void loadData() {
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("saveData.txt"));

notes = br.readLine();

br.close();

}
catch(Exception e){

}

NotesText.setText(notes);
}

this doesn't work...idk why. i get no errors xd.

save Save = new save();
Save.age = 50;
Save.name = "JOE";

String fileName = "data.bin";
try {
ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fileName));
os.writeObject(Save);
os.close();
System.out.println("test");
} catch(IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Done writing!");

couldn't make this work either...jesus. rip me
