Offline Queue

Pending Operations
POST/transactionsP1
PUT/profileP2
GET/balanceP3

User actions queued locally while offline, synced in priority order when connection restored.

Exponential Backoff

Core Components

ConnectionWatcher

Monitors network state via NetworkCallback API, publishes changes to subscribers, triggers sync on reconnect.

RetryPolicy

Exponential backoff (2^n) with jitter. Distinguishes retriable (5xx) from permanent (4xx) failures.

OfflineCache

SQLite-backed storage with TTL invalidation. Maintains operation queue for offline actions.

SyncEngine

Coordinates background sync via WorkManager. Priority queue ensures critical operations first.

Design Decisions

Offline-First Architecture
Cache-first access provides instant responses. Network requests happen asynchronously in background.
WorkManager over JobScheduler
Backward compatibility to API 14, guaranteed execution, constraint-based scheduling.
Kotlin + Java Hybrid
Core networking in Java for stability, UI and business logic in Kotlin for null safety and coroutines.
Gradle Build Flavors
Dev/staging/prod with different API endpoints, retry configs, and logging levels.

Build Flavors
"Users don't care about network reliability if the app feels responsive. Show users what they want to see immediately, sync in the background."
Smoother UX and fewer failed operations on mobile
