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)

  • 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' } }
