Talk-android: Not usable offline and slow on bad connection

[jancborchardt]

The list of calls and contacts seems to load from the server every time the app is opened. This results in a second at least of unresponsiveness and more on usual mobile connections.

When offline (or in a tunnel or plane) you are not able to view any conversations or messages.

We should cache the

• conversations,
• contacts and
• messages

so loading is instant. Updates from the server can still be fed in when they come.

@mario, and same for iOS app @ivansss

Why this is closed? This is not working.
v11.1.2 don't show anything (blank list of conversations) when phone in airplane mode.

Yes, this was only fixed in a different branch. -> reopening

thanks for reopening @szaimen !
Indeed that's a very important issue that needs to be solved!

Is this something that is going to be implemented as its been quiet in here since 2018 with no real update as far as I can see?

[AndyScherzinger]

We plan to have this yes, while we don't have a fixed date/release so no ETA. The age of an issue has no implication about a feature being implemented at some point or not.

I appreciate that,

The purpose of my previous comment was to shed some light on whether there were any plans to implement this as there was no definitive responses to support any development having taken place.

I'm sure most will agree this request is a primary feature of any messaging platform and NC Talk would benefit from the ability.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for the hint, I labelled it accordingly now 👍

Absolutely while it is hard to say when it is getting implemented since there are usually other features one might also consider primary features :)
