I have a problem. In one part of the app, I have code which is supposed to make changes to an NSManagedObject, then call the save method of a context. I thought this was enough to save the changes to the managed object, but I guess not.

The app seems to be saving the data to my iPad's RAM, but not to the SQLite store it's supposed to be saving the data to. Am I missing anything?

EDIT: I should add that I did not see any errors, and that I copied the Core Data code from a project that includes it.

Yes, you did not post any code.

Why do you never post any code?

Below is some code from my app. I have excluded RootViewController.h, RootViewController.m and MainViewController.h because they do not contain any relevant code. Everything I've decided to hide has been replaced with the word "hidden" or with "// Hidden code"

When you save CoreData, you call this :

Code:
NSError *error = nil;  // (1)
[yourManagedObjectContext save:&error];  // (2)

Make sure that 'yourManagedObjectContext' is not nil, and that (2) returns true. If not, definitely 'error' will contain the information about the issue.

Try

Code:
managedObject = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"hidden" inManagedObjectContext:context];

And build "context" this way:

NSManagedObjectContext *context = [(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] managedObjectContext];

(remember to import AppDelegate.h)

instead of

managedObject = [[NSManagedObject alloc] initWithEntity:entityDescription insertIntoManagedObjectContext:context];

We can't help you troubleshoot code that isn't real code. As posted, your code makes no sense. The word "hidden" is used as a method name, instance variable name, property name, and I don't know what else, and those different uses conflict. In your touchesEnded method, you only update your managed object context if hidden <= 60. Then you replace hidden with a string.

You said you replaced various things with hidden, but as a result, you've hidden the code that we need to see.

We can't help you troubleshoot code that isn't real code. As posted, your code makes no sense. The word "hidden" is used as a method name, instance variable name, property name, and I don't know what else, and those different uses conflict. In your touchesEnded method, you only update your managed object context if hidden <= 60. Then you replace hidden with a string.

You said you replaced various things with hidden, but as a result, you've hidden the code that we need to see.

I'm guessing they're trying to show their code without revealing it's true purpose and avoiding having someone steal that idea and produce their own app. In that case, I would suggest creating a test app to "demonstrate" to us the problem issue. If it doesn't recreate the issue, than perhaps the issue lies with other code.

Exactly.

I would like to thank everyone for helping me out here. Programs are hard to debug when the code looks good.

News? Did my suggestion work?

The context is not nil, but my view controllers are referring to a nil context. This appears to be because mainViewController is referencing a nil property of one of my view controllers.

Update: I just edited mainViewController.m so that the view controller sets the aforementioned property to a new instance of that property's subclass.

Update #2: The program still will not save the data.

Update #3: It appears that the problem lies with a variable that's supposed to be updated every time the user increases his or her score.

Every time the user makes a correct choice, the value of an integer named "thecount" increases by 1. The app is supposed to store the current score, which equals the number of questions answered correctly divided by the number of questions that either have been or will be presented, in a double named "score".

Despite the fact that thecount's value increases, score's value stays the same.

EDIT: I decided that I was telling the app to perform integer division. Thanks to the people who answered this Java question.
