Hi Bishwajit,

Thanks for getting interested in DHIS2.

Do you have any experience of contributing to open source? Do you have any open source projects you can share with us?

Good way to get started on development is getting familiar with the project itself and building it from source code. I advise you to visit the project’s page (legacy branch) https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-android-dashboard

In order to test app you can use demo server:

https://play.dhis2.org/demo

Username: admin

Password: district

After that, you can try to fix a bug or implement a feature from the list and make a pull request:

https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-android-dashboard/issues

Best Regards,

Araz Abishov
