OfflineQuery/OfflineLiveQuery - idea

[fischerscode]

This is an idea for a new feature:
It would be comfortable if LiveQuery and/or QueryBuilder would be able to use the CoreStore to save the last result for offline usage.
Each query would generate a key based on the search operators. Using this key, the objects get pined to the CoreStore. This would require a pin function that can take a key. (like in the android sdk)
Whenever the server is unreachable, the query/LiveqQuery would use the pined data as a result.
The programmer should be able to remove existing offlineQueries in order to free disk space.

For web-applications, this feature is obviously useless.

I have not started implementing such a feature and I don't know if I will find time to do so, soon.

Please let me know your thoughts about this idea.

That does sound interesting.

I think there's a lot of demand for offline syncing, regardless of LiveQuery. It this SDK would allow to sync everytime it's offline then online, and syncing via LiveQuery it would be a really great feature. I've not had a chance myself to look into this.

That would be very helpful. Are you working on it ?

My application should try to fetch items from local database before trying to get them from remote database, that will reduce the requests to remote server.

The label type:feature cannot be used in combination with type:improvement.
