Hi @marta, This is great! I installed it on my phone but for some reason I keep getting a login error “No user has been previously authenticated. Cannot login offline.” I only get this when pointing in my instance but not the dhis2 play instances.

Thanks,

John

Dear John,  
Check the url on http and see if you need to add ‘s’ or omit it

If you have not configured ssl then it should be http://…

I hope this will resolve your issue

Dear Advo,

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I am still getting the same error. I am not sure if it’s an issue but I am using aws ec2 IPv4 Public IP with the port 8080 after it. Could this be the issue?

Thank you,

John

Dear Advo,

I don’t have a tracker program. Is it mandatory to have a tracker program and users assigned to that program? Also, now I am getting a different error:  
“Login Error: Something went wrong. Please check that server url, username and password are correct and try again.”

Thanks,

John

Hello @jesplana,

please try to write the URL as you write it to access through the browser and include the folder where you have dhis2 deployed if is not root. In web you are usually redirected but not in Android.

Hi @marta,

I have tried the following different URL setup and the errors I receive:

**URL** : [http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/dhis-web-commons/security/login.action#/](http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/dhis-web-commons/security/login.action#/)  
**Error** : No user has been previously authenticated. Cannot login offline.

**URL** : [http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/](http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/)  
**Error** : Something went wrong. Please check that server url, username and password are correct and try again.

**URL** : [http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080](http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080)  
**Error** : Something went wrong. Please check that server url, username and password are correct and try again.

I have it deployed in ROOT. I know the username works because I type the same one in the web and it works.

Thanks,

John

Hello @SDKAAA!

I’ve been testing this Android Beta Version for different instances with different DHIS2 versions _(2.29 - 2.33)_.

It works well for whichever version you happen to have. Check out the version on the instance you want to use on Android!

**Not only 2.33 but also others (2.31 inclusive)!**

Good luck,  
@Josue

Hi @jesplana. Are you sure you don’t need to include the “s” after the http as a secure connection? Would you mind creating a user in your server and sharing the details via private message so we can try to access?

Best.

Dear @jesplana,

To fix that first, check your IP address ([http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/](http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/)). Is it [http://127.0.0.1:8080/](http://127.0.0.1:8080/) or [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/) on your computer?

If on your computer one of the two URLs are working fine, it means the server you’re trying to reach is locally hosted on your computer which makes it inaccessible when out of your computer! (No other device can access that link unless you host it online)

- Deploying a war file as ROOT.war lets you enter [http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/](http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/) without specifying the instance name. However, if you deploy a war file as [your\_instance\_name].war, you will need to browse [http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/[your\_instance\_name]](http://x.xxx.x.xxx:8080/%5Byour_instance_name%5D).

Just check out that **IP address** in Xs!  
**Note** : If credentials (username & password) are okay in your computer browser!

Good luck,  
Josue

Hi @jesplana,

This is the api call the app uses when login:  
[http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080/api/me?fields=id,code,name,displayName,created,lastUpdated,birthday,education,gender,jobTitle,surname,firstName,introduction,employer,interests,languages,email,phoneNumber,nationality,deleted,userCredentials[id,code,name,displayName,created,lastUpdated,deleted,username,userRoles[id,code,name,displayName,created,lastUpdated,deleted]](http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080/api/me?fields=id,code,name,displayName,created,lastUpdated,birthday,education,gender,jobTitle,surname,firstName,introduction,employer,interests,languages,email,phoneNumber,nationality,deleted,userCredentials%5Bid,code,name,displayName,created,lastUpdated,deleted,username,userRoles%5Bid,code,name,displayName,created,lastUpdated,deleted%5D)]

And this is what the api is answering:

```
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid character found in the request target. The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986

```

I would say you need to check your config to support these characters.

I think you have to edit your server.xml file and add **relaxedQueryChars=“[,]”**. Should be something like:

```
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           redirectPort="8443" 
           relaxedQueryChars="[,]"/>

```

That means the app can’t reach the server. Make sure the server url is correct and that it uses http or https as needed.
