Re: [Dhis2-devs] Aggregated Data Capture using Android app

 

Hi,

*@Calle, *
In order to refresh metadata / data you either need to use pull-to-refresh
gesture within “Aggregate Report” screen or just let android app to sync
automatically (background service is invoked whenever device gets online).
I will add refresh button in the next release, in order to make it more
explicit (feel free to create an issue in jira).

Aggregate data capture supports DHIS 2 starting from 2.23 and up to 2.26.
If it fails to sync, there are changes or backports which could break API.
If you notice this, please create a report in jira (including revision
number of DHIS 2 instance).

*@Gerald, *
I guess a good place to start with android for DHIS 2 can be this document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FegyiHWcUTEulYMxJwDdbhWHcfnP7yuUZTbU4yGUh_8/edit>.
Please, let us know if you have any specific questions.

Best regards,

Dear Araz & Colleagues,
Please i am really out of ideas; any help from OpCo who had done this
implementation before. Kindly remember that the key here is to do data
entry off-line using tablets and once they are on-line their tablets
should sync with the main server and all data are then uploaded.

Thanks in advance for your help.
