Enhancements for 'Data capture for DHIS2' android app

Hi dhis2 users,

I’m developer of “Data capture for DHIS2” android app. Currently, I’m preparing a plan for future development of application. It would be great if you could share with your experience of work with dhis2 and suggest which features do you want to see in android client in first order.

For those who unfamiliar with current android app, you can take a llok at it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dhis2.mobile

Best Regards,
Araz

Thanks Araz

This is a nice app. We havent deployed it here but I have been playing around with it and I have noticed

  1. While entering the url and password, the typing is messy you type one character and it duplicates them then you delete and it deletes all. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

  2. For section data, the different section are hiden up and not easy to identify can we have prev next buttons insteady and at the end have save ans upload.

Will continue exploring

Regards

Hi Prosper,

Thank you for your input.

As you have mentioned, there are some problems with entering server address. This issue will be fixed very soon.
Regarding navigation: I’ve decided to stick with current implementation of data entry screen, because solutions are hacky or just make it even worth. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward for better solution.

Best Regards,
Araz

Hi Lars,

Thank you for advice :slight_smile: I just wanted to get more details on where and how application is being used, in order to get better understanding in which way it should be developed.

Best regards,

Hi Araz, thanks for the good work, and its great that you are getting feedback from the field! Just remember that you don’t have to implement everything people ask for - what i like about your app is that its so simple and clean - make your own judgements and its okay to say no;-)

best regards,

Hi Araz,

good work!

Another comment: it seems that for single event programmes where capture of longitude/latitude is enable, it seems I have to enter there values to be allowed to do data entry? I don’t think having coordinates should be required for data entry. Also, I looked for a way to use the phone’s GPS to get coordinates, is that supported? If not, it would be a great addition. Also possibly picking the coordinates from a map.

Hi Araz, all,

I´ve been also trying it out for testing purposes, very good work!

I don´t realy have features to request for production but I´m sure picking up GPS coordinates from a map would be great added value.

I observed some issues,

  1. the app is not picking the “Description of report date” that is assigned when creating the stage, It shows “Incident Date” no matter what is wirtten in there.
  2. I´ve been logging in and out, and when logging in it says “try again” many times… and randomly, in one of them it does conect…
    Thanks!

Hi Olav,

Nice to see you again :slight_smile:

Yes, you’re wright. The module which was responsible for picking coordinates by using GPS was faulty, so I’ve removed it for a while. Currently I’m working on update where coordinates picking will be possible from map.

Hi Marta,

  1. Strange, it supposed to be changed. Will try to find issue.
  2. You’re the second person who has noticed this issue, however I can’t reproduce it on my device. Could you please provide more details about device you’re using and firmware version.

Best Regards,
Araz

Hi Araz,

Thanks for the great work on this. Two questions:

  1. How do I go about translating this app?

  2. I need to run it on my laptop (in an emulator). For this, I guess I need the .apk file?
