The new DHIS2 Android App allows offline data capture across all DHIS2 data models. Data and metadata are automatically synchronized whenever there is internet access, always keeping the most relevant data for the logged user in the device.
The app is compatible and we support 41, 40, 2.39.
NEW FUNCTIONALITY AND WEB PARITY
New Capture Coordinates process: The 3.1 version introduces a list of new features designed to enhance the capture coordinates process. These improvements aim to provide greater accuracy, flexibility, and control over location data capture.
- Accuracy: The capture coordinates process now includes a feature that displays the precision of the captured location. This allows users to see how accurate their location data is in real-time. This parameter can also be restricted using the Android Settings WebApp.
- Search Functionality: A new search functionality has been added, allowing users to look up specific locations by name or address. Users are also able to navigate through the map and perform area searches to discover other locations within a specified region.
- Block Manual Capture: Using the Android Settings Web App, administrators now have the option to block manual location capture. When this setting is enabled, users can only capture the current location and cannot manually select or search a different one. This ensures that location data remains consistent and accurate.

New relationship section: Major updates have been made in the relationship tabs, enhancing both functionality and user experience.

Sort of unique attributes in the search screen: Aimed at aligning it with the web instance for a more consistent user experience, this version of the Android app, by default, sorts the unique attributes (QR, barcode) at the top of the list of searchable attributes. Users can quickly and easily find the attributes for a more exact search.
Support of biometric dialog: An enhancement to the biometric authentication feature has been made in 3.1.0. When there is only one account configured, the user can configure biometric authentication (fingerprint or face ID).
Line Listing improvements: This version of the Android App introduces support for the Category Option Dimension in line listings. This enhancement enables users to apply category options directly within line listings to filter data according to precise criteria, improving data exploration and decision-making processes. This feature greatly enhances the versatility and utility of line listings, empowering users to perform more sophisticated reporting.
Additionally, it has been improved the text alignment within the Line Listing tables to support left alignment. This enhancement ensures better readability and a cleaner presentation of data, making it easier for users to review and analyze their information quickly.

CROSS PRODUCT
Support for customized Tracker terminology: Some DHIS2 terminology is not familiar for the end users. For this reason, we are gradually enabling the possibility to customize it to each particular use case. In this version, the term "event" (program label context) is customizable. The admin user will be able to configure it for each program using the Maintenance App, and the Android Capture App will display the customized term instead of the generic one.
