Features

DoliDroid is the Android front-end client for Dolibarr ERP & CRM web software.

This application is not a standalone program. It is a front end to use on your online hosted Dolibarr ERP & CRM software.

The advantage of DoliDroid are :

  • DoliDroid is not a duplicate code of Dolibarr, but a front-end of a Dolibarr web installation, so all your online existing features are supported by this application. This is also true for external modules features.
  • Upgrading Dolibarr will not break DoliDroid.
  • DoliDroid use embedded image resources to reduce bandwidth.
  • DoliDroid use internal cache for pages that should not change (like menu page)
  • Connections parameters are saved. No need to enter them each time you use DoliDroid.
  • Integration with your phone or other applications (Clicking on PDF open PDF reader, clicking onto email or phone launch your email application or launch Android dialer, ...)


  WARNING ! 

Due to bugs into Dolibarr 3.4, all features you can use in read mode are guaranteed, however, some create or update features are disabled, like creating/editing invoice/order/proposal/contract. With release of Dolibarr 3.5+, all features should be supported with no restrictions.


This application need Android 2.2+ (3.0+ recommended) and an online hosted Dolibarr ERP & CRM version 3.4+ (for example an online instance provided by one of the SaaS/Cloud hosting provider).

Installation

  • Manually: If you get the .apk file (whatever is the source), just open the .apk for the smartphone/tablet web browser of filesystem browser. This should launch installation of .apk file on your phone.

Once package installation has been done, a new icon called "DoliDroid" is available into the list of your application.

Setup

There is nothing to do once application is installed onto your smartphone.

Usage

  • Run the application
  • Enter the root URL access to your Dolibarr instance (for next time, it will be saved in drop-down list)
  • Use Dolibarr
  • The "Menu" button will bring up the options (permanent display of the back button, purge cache, ...)
  • The "Quick access" button will open a page with the search form you find on left menu when using a standard desktop browser.

Development

Development of this module is not included inside the standard GIT repository of Dolibarr but inside a repository dedicated to modules not supported by the Dolibarr development team but supported by NLTechno on platform Doliforge:
