Exchange with mobile application

There are some limitations to Data and Template XML file used for exchange data with mobile application:

• only GUIDs are used to identify items and enumerations
• coordinates X and Y are specified in GPS coordinates as Latitude and Longitude

<Item ID="{A80C49D2-091F-4AAC-8430-75C602F3BD6C}" ItemType="Double">

  <Name Lang="CS" Text="Zeměpisná šířka" />

  <Name Lang="EN" Text="Latitude" />

  <Settings UnitType="Angle" UnitDefMetric="deg" DecimalDigitsMetric="7" ExponentMetric="false" />

</Item>

<Item ID="{112D9BFC-F300-43FA-994E-A57DE8FD3E0F}" ItemType="Double">

  <Name Lang="CS" Text="Zeměpisná délka" />

  <Name Lang="EN" Text="Longitude" />

  <Settings UnitType="Angle" UnitDefMetric="deg" DecimalDigitsMetric="7" ExponentMetric="false" />

</Item>

Data file for exchange with mobile application

• Data file has ZIP format with extension .g5zip
• Contains the file Index.xml specifying "what is in the ZIP file"
• Contains other XML files with Template specifications
• Optionally conains XML files with Data definitions
• Contains other files with attachments of various types (jpg, pdf, ...)

Example of Index.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<G5ZipIndex>

  <UnitSystem Value="Metric" />

  <Language Value="EN" />

  <Category TemplateType="Single" Template="ProjectTemplate.xml" DataType="Single" Data="ProjectData.xml" Root="ProjectData">

  <Category TemplateType="Single" Template="PointsTemplate.xml" DataType="Multi" Data="Points.xml" Root="Points">

  <Category TemplateType="Multi" Template="FieldtTests.xml" DataType="Multi" Data="FieldTests.xml" Root="FieldTests">

</G5ZipIndex>

• UnitSystem specifies system of units (for default template can be here both unit systems)
• Language specifies app language (for default template can be here more language elements)
• TemplateType speifies, whether there is only one Template for entering data or user selects from list of Templates when creating new data item
• DataType specifies if data have only single instance (exactly one) or user can add/edit/delete data in table
• Root is the name of root element in XML files

Template has boolean attribute PreferIdent, if true, in application shows Ident instead of Name of elements, if Ident is non-empty.
