Description

The purpose of this project is to provide an OpenMRS 2.x client for Android devices. The app is designed to cover most of the functionality currently on the web application. The app communicates with OpenMRS instances using REST. It supports working offline (without network connection). The database on the device is encrypted and password protected to secure patient data. For more information on the client, visit https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/projects/OpenMRS+2.x+Android+Client

Key Features

• Connect to OpenMRS server and sync all data
• Register and Edit patients
• Record Visits and Encounters
• View patient data (Details, Diagnoses, Visits, and Vitals)
• Offline access

GSoC 2019

This project was also selected for Google Summer of Code 2019. More details can be found on the Project Wiki Page.

It was been selected as a candidate for Google Summer of Code 2017. Please visit the Project Wiki Page for more details.

The project was also a part of GSoC 2016, the details of which can be seen in the GSoC_2016.md file.

Development

We use JIRA to track issues and monitor project development. Refer to this link to view all issues and project summary: Android Client JIRA. To get started contributing, try working on introductory issues in JIRA and check out OpenMRS Pull Request Tips. Also, before creating a pull request, please run code review tools (Lint) and all tests.

Code Style

The coding conventions used by OpenMRS are outlined here. These can be applied to Android Studio by following the steps given below.

1. Install Eclipse Code Formatter plugin in Android studio I. Go to Settings > Preferences > Plugins II. Select Marketplace and searh for the plugin by name. Then install it
2. Copy the required XML
3. Go to Settings > Eclipse Code Formatter and import the XML created in previous step
4. Now go to Editor > Code Style in the same window
5. Select Java in the menu on left and update values in Imports as shown in below picture
6. Now select XML in the menu on left and update values in Tabs and Indents tab as shown in below picture

Please follow the below instructions while contributing:

1. When project is opened with Android Studio, go to File > Settings > Editor > Code Style
2. Select Project from the Scheme dropdown
3. Make sure that hard wrap is set to 125 for Java and XML language settings.

Model pattern

We are following Google's MVP sample for this application's development.

HTTP call debugging

In order to debug HTTP calls, we have integrated Chuck Library (a GUI based open source library) to track network calls. Apps using Chuck will display a notification showing a summary of ongoing HTTP activity. Tapping on the notification launches the full Chuck UI.

Quick Start

As of February 2016, this project has been migrated to gradle to work successfully with Android Studio.

Steps to set up:

1. Fork the repository and clone your fork.
2. From the Android Studio menu select File > New > Import Project. Alternatively, from the Welcome screen, select Import project.
3. Navigate to the folder where you have cloned this repo and select the build.gradle file inside. Select Import.
4. Done! Wait for dependencies to load and download from Maven, then you're ready to go!
5. Make sure that you have the latest SDK and build tools downloaded, as we always build against the latest release.

In-depth tutorial

Note:

• If you are working behind a proxy, check this to get things working.
• To start development on a local server, type http://10.0.2.2:8080/openmrs (for Android Studio AVD) or http://10.0.3.2:8080/openmrs (for Genymotion) as URL.

Demo Server

The demo test server dedicated to the client is (https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/). In case the demo server fails to respond, you can use oher alternate servers provided here.

Demo Username: admin

Demo Password: Admin123

Releasing [Collaborators only]

We follow the sprint model for development. Read more about it here: OpenMRS Sprints.

To release the application, make sure to do these steps in order:

1. Update the version variable in versions.gradle prior to the release.
2. Update the Release notes section.
3. Update the release notes text file to publish in the Play store. Ideally change the wording so that normal end users understand.
4. Now commit with the title Release <version number here> to the master branch.
5. Tag the commit, using the version as the tag name. Make sure CI is green!
6. Go to the releases page and click the Draft a new release button. It will create a new version tag in the repository and build the app. The tag name will be used as the version number for this. Be sure to bump unfinished issues to the next due version.
7. Go to JIRA's releases page, click on the three-dots on the right, and hit Release.
8. Post a new Talk thread and describe what is changed or improved in the release.
