I used an HTML screen in my test app, and I read that the page would be cached on the device for offline use. It means - I guess - that the page is first retrieved from the web ? I saw an http URL in my config file and noticed that my HTML screen was a page hosted at buzztouch. So I'm wondering: what if the user runs my app while he's offline: will my screen be displayed ? Or does he need internet to see my HTML screen ? If it's the second answer, then is there a way to display an HTML page even if we're not connected to internet ? I'd like to create an app with several HTML pages, but I'd like this app to be useable offline. Thanks for your help.

HTML screen? There's the Custom URL, Webpage that will cache the website you visit. ¿Just tested this and was surprised to find that it didn't cache the website, anyone have a different experience? There's the Custom HTML, Text screen that's hosted on the control panel, but I don't believe it caches the data. Please correct me if I'm wrong. There's the HTML Doc screen which allows you to either embed the doc (offline use) or link via a URL. Fred

In the advanced settings there is a setting to force refresh a page. If you set it to force refresh then I believe you have to be connected to the internet because the app will always try to grab the latest version. If you set it to no force refresh, then this allows the app to cache the page. Test out the different settings to see which one suits your purposes.

Looks like Fred and I posted at the same time. Between the two of us, he's probably correct. I'd follow his advice. (And don't forget to visit his Buzztouch guide.)

@Ag-Chieve, that's only because I quote you ('all). Fred

I'm talking about the "Custom HTML / Text" plugin. What I'd like to know is: if I use this plugin in my app, will the screens be displayed even if the user is not connected to internet? Sorry, I think i understood: In my app I should use the HTML Doc screen. Is that right ?

Yes, if you wish for offline capabilities. Need to check if Custom HTML, Text screen will cache don't see the answer documented. Fred

There's also the Launch a Native app (browser) screen which may cache the website. Fred

Thank you Fred.

@vDesjardins- If you want to your app to display html pages offline, the best idea would be to include the html doc in your project itself using the html doc plugin. However if you want to display the pages with changing contents, i suggest you use either custom text/html plugin or host your html doc on dropbox. I have done both with my apps i.e. in few apps html docs are locally available in the project itself while few apps have html docs hosted on dropbox. Hosting html docs on dropbox is really helpful and convenient in case you need to change the contents regularly without need to update the app in market.
