Posted on by MacWin 153

Im using Local collection in combination with cds  for saving my data because of offline mode.

Saving works like a charm. Even my toggle values are getting saved. 

But loading Data from gallery.selected record (is binded with local collection) into my viewform this happens:

The preview in my IDE shows the Value of the recordThe preview in my IDE shows the Value of the record

This is the View when I execute (f5) my app (same running on my mobile phone)This is the View when I execute (f5) my app (same running on my mobile phone)

 

 Im saving and loading the Data with SaveData & LoadData since I dont want to save the informations individually.

    Suppose you have DataSourceName and CollectionName

     

    Try Refresh(DataSourceName) somewhere such as OnSelect of the Save Button right after your save - e.g. use semicolon after your Patch or SubmitForm and put Refresh(DataSourceName) - this may also automatically bring the new data in to your collection, even if you are using a Collection as a bridge between Data Source and App.

    We using only online mode now. there are to many workarounds to setup and collection is a really bad datasource for my objects.

    Maybe there are better functions  in future updates for handling offline mode. 

     

    Anyway thanks for trying to help me. 🙂
