[mono-android] Typical applications architecture that deal with data in online and offline situations

[Wally McClure]

The only thing I would add to this is that I would recommend a REST web service and that way you don't have to work with WCF and its idiosyncrasies.

      Hello, I'm a old developer but newer in android and ios platform.

I'd like to know if there is a simple workaround to realize an application
which has to work with centralized data in a server but devices can be in
offline situation.
    
    This is common scenario with mobile apps.

    
      
I thought to use sqlLite in the device and build some service (web service?)
to communicate with the centralized DB.
    
    Right direction.

    Because WCF support in mono is really basic it is not recommended to
    use it if it is expected

    to be a lot of specific/custom/deep-dive code... 

    See http://www.mono-project.com/WCF_Development

    So, the best bet would be classical SOAP Web Services or REST
    services...

    
      
What's the typical architecture in these case?
    
    Maybe classical client/server

    
      client - mobile

        WS proxy + minimal BusinessLogic + datastore
      server

        WS services + BusinesLogic + datastore
    
    regards

There is something ready, a library or similar?

Thanks in advance.
