Is this possible with Flex API 2.5/FB 4.6?

[ShawnKraft]

I have developed an app that runs on an Android tablet.  My goal is simple.  Allow the end user to view our water and sewer mains and be able to click on them and see their attributes.  Of course, we want to do this offline.  Is this possible using the Flex API 2.5 and FlashBuilder 4.6?  My app runs fine its just a matter of getting the water and sewer mains into it and in offline mode allowing the users to view the map and attributes of a main.

Yes you can build mobile apps with 2.5 and Flash 4.6.  I think you want to look into creating an AIR application.  This should give you the flexibility (no pun intended) for use across platforms.  It's the same as creating an application used in Flash Player, only at the beginning you specify that you want to build an AIR app. 

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I don't think the question has been fully answered, especially with regard to working OFFLINE.

I too am working on an Android mobile application with mapping and have noticed that the iOS API supports loading tile packages (*.tpk). Will these work in Flex, or would I need to write my own class to parse the package? M. Raad had a nice post about caching the tiles, but that requires actually navigating to the areas Online prior to going offline.

It would be so great to just copy the tile package to the Android device and off we go.

Any info is greatly appreciated.
