Is it possible to use localStorage and window.openDatabase in Adobe AIR?

Question

I have a working offline application (.html + .js). It uses localStorage and an SQLite database accessed using the openDatabase method. however, when I try to convert this to Adobe AIR using the Adobe Air Debug Launcher, it does not seem to work.

I also get the following errors from command line:

"ReferenceError: Can't find variable: localStorage"

Is Adobe AIR not HTML5 compliant? If it's not supporting localStorage and openDatabase() - is it possible to just include another JS file to fix this?

My concern is that I want the application to work in the Google Chrome browser and Adobe AIR without having to make a lot of rewrites.

Adobe AIR doesn't support Web Storage, as it has its own local storage engine through the class flash.data.EncryptedLocalStore (docs).

Take a look on this article to a tutorial.
