DHIS 2 Android Dashboard Application

 

Hi,

I am Mahen Herath, a final year student from department of Computer Science
and Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.Over the past couple of
years I have worked in a number of Android projects, including my junior
year Software Engineering project which was a full-semester individual
project.

For that I implemented an Android app to create virtual study groups, where
groups of students can track their commitment per module, engage in group
discussions etc.. To track each users's performance I integrated
MPAndroidChart Library to the application. An SQLite database was used to
cache JSON data fetched from the server ( I coded the server side using PHP
), and network calls were made using Volley Library.

During my internship  I created an Android Application which recommends
near by hotels and attractions to a user based on his or her current
location. For that I extensively worked with Google Maps Android API,
integrating custom markers on the maps to represent additional details like
a rating for a place.

I was really exited to hear about the project on DHIS2 Android Dashboard
application since it is a combination of several components (
MPAndroidChart Library, Google Maps API and Caching data using SQLite ) I
have already implemented across different projects in different scopes.I am
currently going through the source code of Android Dashboard Application
hosted in GitHub. I would love to hear about other requirements in the
project specifically not mentioned in the project description.

Thank you,
Mahen Herath
