Material Design Offline states
Documents offline states for apps and features, slow or missing connection planning, visible no-internet labeling, offline-capable feature affordances, download/offline indicators, and avoiding state controls that imply one-time downloads.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offline mobile retry | Choose offline mobile retry when a mobile action should be preserved and retried after connection loss, flaky network, app backgrounding, or policy-limited connectivity. | The UI never reports server success for a mobile action that is only saved locally or queued. | Supports mobile offline affordances and slow or missing connection planning. |
| Offline state | Choose offline state when connection loss changes what users can read, edit, save, submit, refresh, upload, export, or share. | The offline indicator appears only when connectivity affects the current task or a global app capability users can reasonably act on. | Material supports explicit no-internet labels, offline-capable feature indicators, and planning for slow, intermittent, or absent connections. |
