Hi,
I am developing an hybrid app that I would like to be able to work entirely offline. It is data processing using Backend Services. Ideally it needs to just work when offline, including cold starting with no 3G or WiFi. Initial sign in will need to be done online but then all actions should be possibly against cached data, with new records /updates being synchronised when signal is available. Data needs to persist between sessions, especially unsent changes.
I am thinking that it should work like for example an mobile email client. Recent email are stored on the device for access when the devices is offline. Features such as search, folders, etc. work (with the data on the device). New emails can be composed and in the background will be sent when data is restored.
I know that Telerik has offline support and I am using this and the caching setting but it is not quite there for me yet. I am keen not to reinvent the wheel and am sure that I can do this fairly simply with the existing Telerik tools.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to working with a local cache by default and ways to populate the cache with recent data items. Am I looking at a lot of work and a rewrite to do this?
Thanks in advance,
David
