This week was spent mostly on writing the documentation and a specific article on how to use the openmrs-android-sdk to get started with an application from scratch. I wrote the article and got it reviewed by my mentor juliet who works super hard as always no matter how worse the conditions are for her.

In addition, I made a seperate branch for deployments of openmrs-android-sdk to the jitpack library since there were some Issues with the master branch due to release.keystore of the android application.

I tried deploying the package to jitpack with the new branch and then used it in the Test-Application just to make sure things work well.

The openmrs-android-sdk was accessible at com.github.openmrs:openmrs-contrib-android-client:deploy-android-sdk-SNAPSHOT the last part indicating the branch name and the snapshot version as tag.

In addition I tried my hands on dokka which is the kotlin plugin to generate documentation just like javadocs, but since the codebase is split between kotlin and java I tried dokka and ./gradle dokkaHtml gave out the javadoc in an easy to navigate HTML format in the build package.

Following week is the last week before this edition of GSoC comes to an end, I think most of the work will go in getting the PR merged and making required changes if anything comes up in the review. Iterating once again over the documentations and try to plug up holes in the documentation.

Happy weekend :)
