[Question] Any examples of offline data saving to your backend using Room

[rileymd88]

I would like to do the following:

If I have a network connection then write new data to my backend and then make network call and pull data into Room DB, else if I have no network connection then write data into Room DB and then only write new data to my backend when I have a network connection.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks, R

@rileymd88 , Why don;t you write all new data to the local db (i.e. room), then use a sync adapter to periodically (given connectivity etc.) sync the local db with the back end?
