yes ofcoure you can develop offline application for HWC based workflow application. when you dont have any internet connection you can store the data internally and whenever your device got any connectivity then our app will automatically sync with the backend.

exactly we need to follow the same porcedure. We need to do some customization in our generated workflow package code to avheive this. In that package you should be able to see one class called Custom.js we need to write all our customization in that class only. Basically offline application means when you try to subit your data to backend if there is no connectivity, app should save the data locally and needs to synchronize when network is available. so we need to handle this situation.

Generated code is basically javascript, there are many ways to check the connectivity in JS. So in that Custom.js class write a code in the method named BeforeSubmit() by this way you can create offline based HWC application.

hi dinesh,

can you share the code to store the data offline in beforeSubmit() method u are talking about.

i think there is other way to submit the data to the backend if network is not available is "submit Workflow" instead of "Online Request".

Also i have a Scenario like if want to have my data in device using workflow how do i do that? i mean if i want see my records if network is not available. is there any way to download and store the data using workflow.

I´m interesting too about the code and the submit workflow... what happend if the network is not available?

I want sync the records the first time that i connect for store it and I could consult without network.
