Question

Hi All,

I currently have a web application that will run on mobile tablets.  We created a web application as we are a small company and this allows us to support 1 product to run on all devices.

One of my customers has asked if they can run the web application from an android device desconnected?  This would mean I would need to install the web app on the device (Instead of the 1 off installation on the server). 

Is this possible?  Is there some type of mobile IIS for android?

I hoped to somehow install the published website on the android.  And while disconnected store records in xml.  Once the device is back online I will run a procedure to write the saved xml data into the database on the server.

Any thoughts would be great.  I have only just started to investegate so no idea if its even possible.

My website is developed in asp.net framework 4, with a jquery front end.

Thanks

You should ask this question in an Android development forum.

PhoneGap is an open source tool which helps to accomplishment the goal just bridges the gap between device native fatures & mobile web features. Of course , it's possible in Android devices to store Web app locally in device's local storage & allow transactions in WiFi or limited internet too. Store xml data in local HTML5 storage by offline storage/ session storage.

You need to install phonegap from www.phonegap.com in eclipse project & enable web application in android native appliation by it.
