Make list of titles available for offline mode #22

Closed creydr closed 3 years ago

The app should provide a mechanism to make the titleoverview (#2) available in case the user is offline.

I don't think that the entire list of title should be saved on the application. From my point of view, only the informations related to the borrowed books and maybe the last researches should be kept for two reasons:

1) The amount of data will be to high for a small application, we will overload the memory. 2) The catalogue status is supposed to keep changing, so we have to consider that the data are outdated for the moment we get them.

This functionality is highly related to #1 and #12 Maybe we should give this functionality a higher level of priority (this is close to the "user input" assignment). What do you think?

yes i didn't mean to make like a 1:1 copy of the database. I meant only for example to save like the name of the title, so that the user still could go through the overview of all titles (without the details screen). i.e in case he has no internet connection and wants to check if a title is known in the system and could be borrowed in feature. (like the JU App which provides like a cache of the last stand of your schedule you was connected to the internet...)
