That should get you to your login page and PLEASE let me know if it works for you beyond that.
We are working on getting a dedicated forum up and running for the app’s users to help one another. When its ready we’ll make it accessible on the starting page of the app.
If anyone from the OpenEMR project has any ideas for links they’d like me to put on the starting page to help get the curious to the right places to get started with building a server, I’d like those addresses. Perhaps a Youtube video for someone who doesn’t know of OpenEMR? If there’s any official stuff, I’d rather link to that than blog articles and whatnot.
Arimal has been down with a bad case of the children lately, and hasn’t been able to rub two thoughts together, but I’m sure he’ll be jumping back in before too much longer.
I believe there was someone else trying to make a phonegap OpenEMR app… you might inquire as to their progress. I haven’t heard how they’re doing with it in a while.
We’re beginning to learn how to use Flurry analytics…the purpose of which is to understand how your app is used. We would be able to perhaps figure out the most used buttons and improve the default layout and stuff like that. Does anyone object to some sort of usage statistics? It won’t transmit any patient data or anything like that, just what buttons in the sliding drawer get used the most and what their settings are. With enough data, we might be able to make layouts for specific jobs within a clinic or something.
Its a thought… we’re learning how to use flurry for use in our game so we can tell if people are finding it too difficult, but it would come in handy if we don’t start getting more feedback. We’re up to 50 users on this app, but we don’t know how many of those users are active or just have it installed waiting for us to figure out some feature or something.
Dedicated app forums are available on the default start page now. If anyone has issues using them please let me know. I believe the user signup is working properly.
Would anyone be interested in a pre-configured version of this app for their clinic or hospital? Where you could choose the app name, and icon, default layout, and server information, and we’d put all of that in and take server setup out of the options so that the user couldn’t access or change it, but instead just came up to your log in screen?
We’d put it up on Google Play for you so you’d be able to get it on all your devices very easily.
Managed to login now. Can’t do much with the app though. After logging in, if I go to the main page and try to search for a patient, I get a list of names as the search result but tapping on any name is futile. If I use the search button on the bottom left it
can’t produce any search result.
From what I can tell, the New Patient / Search dialog now ends up with a popup window… that’s changed since we last messed with it. We’ll have to try to take that into account somehow, unless they make the option to suppress popups and keep things in-frame.
If you make a patient on your desktop, can you at least access that patient from the client?
The 1.0.2 is letting me do that much, if I search from the text box on the lower left. I get the patient info screen.
i downloaded the app and it installed fine on my samsung galaxy s2/android 4.0.3. Overall it works on the phone but it is hard to navigate around on the s2 on such a small screen.
is there a long-term approach to the mobile app ? maybe using HTML5?
Something like that would be done on the server side, Ramesh. We are just creating a specialized browser. The gurus who work the server magic would have to build a mobile version of the system and I don’t believe thats on their agenda. They’re content to just make it work for computer browsers… we’re trying to put it someplace it was never designed to go.
Creating a specialized program to probe the databases and display info inside an regular application would require a skillset other than what we have, as well as a fine understanding of how OpenEMR is put together.
If anyone would like to start working on that, be our guest.
well, the game is about 5MB, and OpenEMR is about 77k… I think people might notice if we tried to hide it in there.
We’re hoping it will take off and make some money as we’re both near destitute… I’m having to seriously consider going back to work, my wife’s having trouble holding down the bills. Thus far the game has made 55 cents. This app has made us nothing, but it was never intended to. We didn’t really expect to be instantly successful at this, but we did hope for better results than we’re seeing. I’ve been learning a lot and with more time I am sure we can get both of these apps to do what we want them to do… if we can afford to give them that time.
We’d probably be doing better moneywise if we started making quick gimicky apps, but we’ve tangled up all of our time in these long term things, and then life happens and stuff
That whole pulling yourself up by the bootstraps kind of thing is tougher than it looks.
Well, it seems that fixing the download features we’re missing will necessitate a higher version of Android. This will mean that the minimum requirements may be Android version 2.3.3 or perhaps even 3.0
If we can backport those features, perhaps we can bring the needed version back down, but we’ve not done any backporting, so first step is to get it to run right.
I’m working with Android’s built in DownloadManager, and I’ve now got it downloading “something” when you click a file download link in a patient’s documents. I can’t yet tell where it is going, or what it is, but its a start. It might just be a rejection HTML file generated by the OpenEMR server.
Its a real pain in the butt since I don’t have any devices that run that version of Android. I’m having to do it in a virtual device, and my laptop just doesn’t have the RAM to do that very well, so the whole system is slowed to a crawl and I can’t keep a browser up while that’s going, so I can’t research and code simultaneously…. very aggravating, but I’ll figure something out.
I’ve been chewing at this a while, but I’ve still had no luck getting pop-ups to work. I’ll be uploading another version soon, but there won’t be much changed except the default testing server port.
Sorry things are at a standstill, my tablet is broken, my phone is broken, and Arimal has a houseful and can’t get any time in front of his editor.
I’ve tried to get popups working, but I can’t seem to figure out the difference between php pop-ups and javascript pop-ups.
I’m looking for work, currently, and bills are piling up, so It’ll be a while before I have another device to program with, so other than minor changes (ie. default server settings), this can be considered to be on hold for a while.
Good luck, cybercod, i empathize with ya bigtime, i’ll say a prayer for ya.
concerning the below-i’m working on it, in a limited fashion (for point of care -just forms basically)
Creating a specialized program to probe the databases and display info inside an regular application would require a skillset other than what we have, as well as a fine understanding of how OpenEMR is put together.
If anyone would like to start working on that, be our guest.
I just asked around in #android-dev on freenode and was essentially told that I had better be prepared to make this up to HIPPA standards, or else risk getting sued to the stone-age.
I’m considering just scrapping the project. This world isn’t built for people to try to do nice things for other people.
