When you build Cordova or TransForm applications, you may want to store data (SQLite databases, images, movies, audio files, PDF files, etc.) on the mobile device so that the files can be accessed when there is no internet connection. The On-Device-Data Builder can be used to generate the manifest that defines the data to download to the device.
