Kuika's Offline Screen feature is designed to ensure that your apps maintain an uninterrupted user experience when disconnected from the internet. With this feature, a specific screen is shown to the user when there is no connection and the app adapts to offline conditions.

Offline Screen Features

Single Screen Limit: Only one Offline Screen role can be assigned per project.
Connection Status: Automatically activated when the internet connection is lost. Even if the connection is restored, the user manually switches to Online Screen.
Device Features: Hardware features such as camera or GPS can be used. However, Backend calls that require the internet are not supported.
Actions: Only Client Side actions can be used. Server Side actions are not supported.‍
Platform Compatibility: Only available for Android and iOS mobile apps. Cannot be used in web applications.

Using Offline Screen

Screen Design:
- Design the screen that will work offline.
- Choose images from Image Library instead of API.
- Elements and actions that require internet connection should not be used.
Assign Offline Screen Role:
- Assign the Offline Screen role from the Properties panel of the screen.
- This allows the screen to be automatically activated when disconnected from the internet.
Platform Specific Build:
- Build the app for iOS or Android.
- When the internet connection is lost while the app is running on the device, the user will be notified and the app will automatically switch to Offline Screen.
Navigation and Design Details:
- Manual Navigation: Organize all navigation operations manually. For example, add an exit button for the user to log out.
- Master Page Integration: Common components (header, footer, menus, etc.) can be added via Master Page. This structure ensures a consistent user experience across all screens.
