Downloading Images or text?

If I have an image on the app and I want it to update when the user goes online to whatever is in my parse class but then maintain that image when the user goes offline. How do I do this?

Hello! Try to use online/offline events on screen.

Hi that doesnt do any good because there is no way to replace the current image with one Online so it will stay there when the user is offline

You could change the image URL, from online to offline image.

Maybe I am not explaining what I need properly. Basically I have an image that is updated every week on my parse and I want it to update the image on my app while the user is online but then when the user is offline want to to remain that new updated image. How do I do this?

When you say "on my parse", do you mean Parse.com?

When the user gets online, you would change the image URL to the "online" version. When the user signs off, you would change the image URL to the "offline" version. This is part of your app logic, it has to be programmed by you.

I do mean Parse.com, and I understand what you are saying but what I mean is I want the offline image to be what was the online image i.e. the offline image is updated when online to the online image? Does this make sense?

Sorry, I think I lost you here:

"...want the offline image to be what was the online image i.e. the offline image is updated when online to the online image"

[Andy Mac Giolla Fhionntog]

basically the image is online and when the user goes offline I want it to stay when the app is opened even if the user isnt online

Yes, you can do that. But it has to be programmed. You would check whether the user is online or not and display the on or off icon. Tiggzi is an app builder, you can build any kind of app, but there is no out-of-the-box feature specifically for that. Hope this helps.
