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>

• mapové značky jsou definovány enumerací s určeným GUID

<Item ID="{9E0528F6-0B21-4044-BEAD-242C907934C5}" ItemType="Enum">

Formatted text for mobile application

• texts in template use the formatting capabilities 1., 2., 3., 4., 7., 8., 9., 10.
• texts in data are plain for the first version - no formatting is used

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 contains 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">

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

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

</G5ZipIndex>

• UnitSystem specifies system of units (not included for default template - for USA use imperial, otherwise metric)
• Language specifies app language (not included for default template - language is determined by operating system)
• TemplateType speciifies, whether there is only one Template (Single) for entering data or user selects from list of Templates (Multi) when creating new data item
• DataType specifies if data have only single instance (Single) (exactly one) or user can add/edit/delete data in table (Multi)

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