Very nice! I've been playing with https://github.com/janeasystems/nodejs-mobile to get the Dat project to run on Android and iOS. This might be another way to do the same thing on Android!

What I’d do is running a full blown database application on the device. Couchbase Lite can do that as an example - replicate to a Couchbase server and allow offline access to data and indices. If your server part is Node.js based you should be able to have the whole thing running offline on devices. Why? I’m Swiss. We drive a lot of trains and they enter a lot of tunnels. Or on the plane.

You may be interested in a new way to develop web applications that I have been developing. An entire site is represented in JSON, and pages are built by Javascript in the browser. This greatly reduces server calls, making it much faster as well as largely working offline.

www.sparational.com seems to have gone down since I started writing this comment, but when I clicked on the link, it seemed to have quite a considerable wait until anything appeared on the screen.
