When an iPhone program has something like a paragraph or a set of instructions

  • 0

When an iPhone program has something like a paragraph or a set of instructions that need to be displayed on screen–basically anything that is longer than two sentences, where does it go?

Should it be stored as an NSLocalizedString (is this stored in the info.plist? I tried searching documentation–I’m a beginner and don’t quite understand where that goes)?

Should it simply be hard-coded into the UITextView or UILabel that contains it?

Should it be defined as a constant then referenced in the UITextView/UILabel?

Should it be placed in a .txt file then referenced? (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2506594/where-to-put-text-files-for-iphone-uitextview)

    If you are thinking about localizing the text at all, I’d put it into a strings file:

    http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/Strings/Strings.html

    You could also put it into a plist and read the plist file at runtime from the bundle. Generally try to keep the info.plist clean.
