Parse.com: Does PinInBackground() to Local DB save to the Cloud eventually?

Question

I use the Parse.com Cloud service in my Android app to sync data between devices.

I use the app mainly offline and use the local DB

Parse.enableLocalDatastore(getApplicationContext());

I would like to use PinInBackground() to store the data locally and sync once every day by hitting the sync button in my app.

Now if my app crashes or the device restarts - how do I know which objects are stored only locally so I can sync them with Save() ?

Answer 1

pinInBackground() will not save to the cloud eventually. The only action that does BOTH is saveEventually() , which will pin your objects locally if your network is down so that you can still query them even though you are still offline.
