Mobile Framework

Control Auto-Synchronization During Mobile App Startup

Background data tables are read-only tables that contain data for tables such as buildings, floors, rooms, division and department.

The framework contains the autoBackgroundDataSync property. Setting this property to true will cause the background data to be synced when the app is started.

The autoBackgroundDataSync property is set in the Ext.application configuration.

Example – Enable background sync on Application Start

Ext.require([ 'Common.scripts.ApplicationLoader', 'Common.Application', 'Ext.data.Validations','Common.lang.LocaleManager' ], function() {
Ext.application({
name : 'AssetAndEquipmentSurvey',
autoBackgroundDataSync: true,
….
});
});

A custom sync function can be supplied using the backgroundSyncFn property. The function supplied to this property will be executed when the app starts.

Example – Supply Custom Sync Function

Ext.require([ 'Common.scripts.ApplicationLoader', 'Common.Application', 'Ext.data.Validations','Common.lang.LocaleManager' ], function() {
Ext.application({
name : 'AssetAndEquipmentSurvey',
autoBackgroundDataSync: true,
backgroundSyncFn: function(onCompleted, scope) {
var me = this;
syncController = me.getController('AssetAndEquipmentSurveySync');
syncController.doAutoBackgroundSync(onCompleted, scope);
…
}
});
});
