MA2.1 Configure the REST API's endpoint

Mobile apps need to be re-compiled with the correct server’s IP address for it to be functional.

To do so:

• Open Android Studio
• Open the mobile app project you want to configure (available on openIMIS github)

  • claims_android_app_java

  • policies_android_app_java

• Find the gradle file /app/build.gradle
• update the "API_BASE_URL" and the "applicationId" , for the default, and other product flavor that you see fit

  productFlavors.all {
          buildConfigField "String", "API_BASE_URL", '"http://demo.openimis.org/rest/"'
          buildConfigField "boolean", "SHOW_CONTROL_NUMBER_MENU", 'false'
          buildConfigField "String", "RAR_PASSWORD", '")(#$1HsD"'
          resValue "string", "app_name", "openIMIS Policies"
      }
      productFlavors {
          demoProd {
              applicationId "org.openimis.imispolicies.demoProd"
              buildConfigField "String", "API_BASE_URL", '"http://demo.openimis.org/rest/"'
              buildConfigField "String", "RAR_PASSWORD", '")(#$1HsD"'
              resValue "string", "app_name", "Policies Demo"
              dimension = 'std'
          }
          demoRelease {
              applicationId "org.openimis.imispolicies.demoRelease"
              buildConfigField "String", "API_BASE_URL", '"http://release.openimis.org/rest/"'
              buildConfigField "boolean", "SHOW_CONTROL_NUMBER_MENU", 'true'
              resValue "string", "app_name", "Policies Release"
              dimension = 'std'
          }
      }

  Build the app via the tools menu
• The new .apk file is now available in the release folder indicated by Android Studio
