Hi everybody,
Just wanted to share with new android client for dhis2. It would be great if you could test it and provide feedback. Any suggestions about how I can improve application are appreciated.
Mobile version: http://bit.ly/1giZ8M9
Tablet version: http://bit.ly/16ukZir
Hi Araz,
Many thanks for this great effort.
Do you think you could explain a little about what your app can do?
best regards,
Lars

Dear Araz
I have installed and tested your “Tablet” version. It is a very promising app. However, i have some questions:
(1) In the login screen, i cannot change the url. I thought i can just put the url of my dhis2 instance! When i change the url, the error msg is: wrong url
(2) Menu one (Aggregate report) - It says “wrong url”
(3) Single Event, again wrong url
(4) My Profile. It works! I can save data
It is also not clear where the data get saved. Is it synchronising to the remote server automatically or it save the data in the local mobile (tablet). If it save locally, when does it synchronise the data? If it save to a remote server, what will happen if the user get disconnected and connected later.
All in all, this is a good work. It give hopes to those who want to collect large amount of data and make some analysis while they are in mobile mood 
Congratulations

Hi Juma,
First of all, thank you for testing application Some answers regarding issues are below:
(1) In the login screen, i cannot change the url. I thought i can just put the url of my dhis2 instance! When i change the url, the error msg is: wrong url
(2) Menu one (Aggregate report) - It says “wrong url”(3) Single Event, again wrong url
Of course you can enter url of your dhis2 instance. I’ve tested app now with dev version of dhis2 and it works. http://apps.dhis2.org/dev (username: admin, password: district)
It seems that problem is in dhis2 instance which you are using (android client works with new endpoints in API which were implemented after 2.12 release). Could you provide build version of your dhis2 instance?
It is also not clear where the data get saved. Is it synchronising to the remote server automatically or it save the data in the local mobile (tablet). If it save locally, when does it synchronise the data? If it save to a remote server, what will happen if the user get disconnected and connected later.
After save button is pressed, new account information will be saved on device and synchronised with server as well. If there is no connection to server at the moment when user saves changes, data will be synchronised in background as soon as connection is restored.
All in all, this is a good work. It give hopes to those who want to collect large amount of data and make some analysis while they are in mobile mood
Congratulations
Thank you :). I’m very pleased to hear that this project will be useful for dhis2 community.

Hi Lars,
Here is brief description of client possibilities:
In general android dhis2 client is an interface for some of the core DHIS2 functionality.
All forms are automatically downloaded from the DHIS2 server, stored in device and presented to the user.
Because of the bad network coverage in some areas, client supports an offline workflow, where app and its
data entry can work even outside network coverage, and the data is submitted when there is network coverage available again.
Currently app supports next dhis2 functionality:
Aggregate data entry
Tracking events and programs (Currently only “single event without registration” is supported)
Users can modify their personal information and then submit it to dhis2 instance
In order to cover wide range of devices, application supports wide range of android os versions (2.3 - 4.3).
Tablet version is adapted for big screens and provides more convenient way to select forms and enter data. (Thanks to SlidingMenu library )
Application supports four foreign languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, Indonesian.

Hi Araz,
been giving it a quick run. I think this is great work… The look and feel is good, it’s response and simple to use, and menus are clean and nice.
when you open a form, the existing data values for that form is not displayed. I think the existing values need to be displayed in order to make it possible for users to know what data is already there and what has been uploaded to the server. I know we cannot store all possible data on the client, so this could work only when online. You could do a request to server to look for existing data - if offline the request will fail and you can just ignore it and display the empty form, if online you display the existing data.
minor detail, when you open a form with no sections (e.g. custom form) the section list at the top of the form screen shows “default” as the only option. In this case (no sections) I think you can simply hide that list in order to avoid confusion as it does not add any functionality.
best regards,
Lars

Very nice Araz. Works well. This app will be useful.
Minor: on “would you like to upload report” prompt can we change negative option from “Delete” to “Skip”, delete might give the impression that it will delete the whole form, not just ignore the currently modified values.
