I am developing an Hybrid android app using HTML5 which will work completely offline.
Today morning when I opened the app, I saw that all the data stored in localStorage was cleared.
Under what scenarios can the localStorage get cleared?
Given these scenarios, is it a good idea to use localStorage?

This will look different/appear differently on browsers but with the example of Google Chrome, these are the different ways in which localStorage for your application can be erased:
1. Individually deleting localStorage keys in the Developer Tools menu:
2. Clearing browser history/cache/cookies/etc.
3. Un-installing the browser itself.
