How do you implement offline-first sync on Android with Room and WorkManager?
Answer
Offline-first uses local persistence plus background sync.
Typical approach:
- Store server data in Room
- Track local mutations in an outbox table
- Use WorkManager to sync with retries/backoff
- Resolve conflicts deterministically
Keep sync incremental and observable to debug stuck queues and data drift.
