Sencha Touch 2 Global Variables - Access everywhere

I know this question was already posted in StackOverflow but I either didnt understand or sencha changed somewhat.

My app loads a form panel for login, then I would like to save the user info that have just loged on. This way I can change my view anytime I want and still know the name of the loged in user.

Here is my main code:

//<debug>
Ext.Loader.setPath({
    'Ext': 'sdk/src'
});

//</debug>
Ext.application({
    name: 'APP',

    loadedUser: 'the test',

    requires: ['Ext.MessageBox'],

    views: ['Main', 'Home', 'Login'],

    models: ['User'],

    stores: ['Users'],

    controllers: ['Main'],

    icon: {
        57: 'resources/icons/Icon.png',
        72: 'resources/icons/Icon~ipad.png',
        114: 'resources/icons/[email protected]',
        144: 'resources/icons/[email protected]'
    },

    phoneStartupScreen: 'resources/loading/Homescreen.jpg',
    tabletStartupScreen: 'resources/loading/Homescreen~ipad.jpg',

    setLoadedUser: function(arg) {
        this.loadedUser = arg;
    },

    launch: function() {
        // Destroy the #appLoadingIndicator element
        Ext.fly('appLoadingIndicator').destroy();

        // Initialize the main view
        Ext.Viewport.add(Ext.create('APP.view.Main'));
    },

    onUpdated: function() {
        Ext.Msg.confirm("Application Update", "This application has just successfully been updated to the latest version. Reload now?", function() {
            window.location.reload();
        });
    }
});

The 'loadedUser' its what I wanted to be my global variable, and the method setLoadedUser(arg) its suposed to change that value.

I can access 'loadedUser' no problem, but I can't change its value. Another question: loadedUser can it be an array/data structure?

You can also use localStorage to, set/get Your variables:
Set it as: localStorage.setItem('currentUserId', userID)
Get it as: localStorage.getItem('currentUserId')
You can use it, anywhere in Your script.

Yes, the works when the function is inside of the app.js file. It does not work if the function is inside of the controller file.

So if you have a project application called IronMan, the call from the view code to the global function, flyAway(), in your app.js file would look like:

IronMan.app.flyAway();

How are you accessing the function? This works for me. Remember you should access it like this:

APP.app.setLoadedUser('test');

And yes, it can be any value. :)
