You can do a couple of things, but the easist would probably be to save
the data into a text file (including the jpg url on disk) and then
re-read it back into your app when you need to display it.
There are as many different ways to do this as there are programmers
probably, but one way is to loop through all the fields, saving each
one's content to a text file, separated by a custom delimiter you
define. Then when opening the file, reverse the process and put each
"item" of the text file back into its field. You can save the image as a
file url and then when reloading it, set an image object to that url.
