FAQPage Schema
How do I add Salesforce MobileSync to an existing Android Kotlin app?▼

Salesforce MobileSync enables offline data synchronization in Android Kotlin apps by upgrading the SmartStore SDK setup to the MobileSync SDK. It configures local soups and automates sync definitions for specific Salesforce objects, allowing local and server data integration without extensive rework.

How do I configure sync definitions for Salesforce objects in Android?▼

You configure sync definitions for Salesforce objects by preparing a JSON configuration file that targets specific Salesforce objects and local soups. This automates the synchronization setup between the local Android data store and the Salesforce server.

Do I need to replace SmartStore SDK to use MobileSync SDK for offline sync?▼

Yes, you need to replace SmartStore SDK initialization with MobileSync SDK setup to support cloud data sync. Upgrading the SDK initialization allows your Android app to handle offline synchronization with Salesforce data effectively.

Can I synchronize specific Salesforce objects like accounts and contacts offline?▼

Yes, you can synchronize specific Salesforce objects such as accounts or contacts offline. By creating targeted sync definitions in a JSON configuration file, the MobileSync SDK manages the data integration between your local soups and the server.

What are the limitations of upgrading to MobileSync SDK for Android?▼

The MobileSync SDK integration requires modifying existing activity code to set up user stores and syncs, and relies on preparing JSON sync definitions. Developers must handle these configuration steps to ensure proper local and server data synchronization.
