Sixth Week of Coding 12th July — 16th July



Hey Everyone, I am back with my weekly blog. Let’s have a look at work done in the 6th week of this amazing journey.


Reimplemented and Completed App Usage Tracking System

Guys actually as stated in the last blog I had completed the app usage tracking system but on discussing with the mentor We come up with a better approach and reimplemented the completed system. There are not very huge changes we just did some changes in the dhis2 storage part. Let’s have a look at how we are tracking the trainer app usage now -

  • App usage is now stored in the user’s data store instead of the tracker program.
  • For each page, a unique id is assigned with which the page usage is tracked in datastore and in local DB as well.
  • There is a local DB support that will store the page usage and when the page usage exceeds the threshold limit for each usage then data will be sent to the dhis2 in the user’s datastore.
  • When local app usage storage get synced with the dhis2 user’s data store then local DB will get resettled to store new data.

Resolved Issues: #36 #120

Passed Pipeline:  #338127000 


Modified mhbs-tracker app to send login credentials

Since we want the user to enter credentials only once for both the apps and trainer app to be launched from the tracker app. Therefore the idea is, tracker app will share the login credentials with the trainer app on each launch. I had saved the login credentials of the user in secured Shared Prefs and on launching intent of trainer app passed these credentials so that trainer app to process further.

Resolved Issues: #16

Passed Pipeline:  #338443846


Removed Fabric usages

The fabric plugin is depreciated and we need to remove its instances from the app.

Committed here.


Other Works

  • Added commits to the previously sent MR as asked by the mentor to make them able to merge. As for testing purposes, I had used the hardcoded credentials, Now I had removed them and fetched the password from secure storage.
  • I am not clear with the login procedure of the trainer app. I had studied the codebase and understand it well and made changes in the trainer app accordingly to make the user able to get logged in to the trainer app from the tracker app.

Work Done this Week

  1. Implemented New Idea suggested by the mentor and Completed the system to get trainer app usage over dhis2. 
  2. Removed Fabric usages from the app as it is depreciated.
  3. Modified mhbs-tracker app to send login credentials to trainer app for login.
  4. Added commits to the last MR’s to make them able to merge as suggested by the mentor.
  5. Completely understand the secure storage and login flow of the trainer app.

Planning of next Week

  1. Completed all pending work so can focus on new issues. Will be solving more bugs.
  2. Working on “Need to create a new program stage in dhis2” issue of tracker app.
  3. Working on #4 issue.

I am not clear with these issue so will try to discuss these issue in the weekend so that can start work from Monday.

Hey Everyone, I am back with my weekly updates about my GSoC journey😀. This amazing journey is about to its end guys, but really I never forget this great experience where I learned a lot of technologies & experienced a new tech side of android development in just a few weeks. This week I had a meeting with my mentor where I discussed some of the UI-UX related stuff that can make the user experience much better. Hence I have improved the UI of the app, uploaded educational resources over dhis2, find out some very important bugs that need to be resolved in the scale-up version. Let’s discuss them one by one - Segregated Media Resources into Categories- Earlier all types of media files either it is pdf, video, xls file, doc., etc. everyone is present in the single page. Since we have more video resources and Pdfs I have made out the filter options to view resources into 4 separate sections All Media, Videos, PDFs and Other files. Related Issue: Issue #195 Related MR: MR #199 Media

  Hey Everyone, this week I have fixed the tracker app pipeline that failed last week, exported the tracker and trainer specific metadata, tested them by importing them to the play servers and a lot more. Let’s discuss this in detail.   Fixed Tracker App Gitlab Pipeline Last week when I submitted an MR that passed the pipeline and was merged by my mentor into the main repo of the tracker app but it gets failed unexpectedly. The interesting fact to note is that it ran successfully in the commit with which I had submitted but the merge commit that my mentor made to merge it which doesn’t contain any new changes, and is only having the commits that I made failed the pipeline. I didn't get any reason for it.😌 But in the end, I made it find out the cause of it and fix it😀. I think it is due to the NDK version. I suggest if you are building it locally as well please try building after installing NDK Version 21.0.6113669 Related MR: MR-15 Exported Tracker App Metadata I had exported tra
