Replace and/or delete apps

Post by btri Arjun »

Dear user,

It is possible to replace and/or delete the previous application/folder(s) on tablet by new one? For example, if we have installed the "Fertility Survey" last time and if we want to replace and/or delete by "Mortality Survey" now.

Best,
Arjun

How are you updating the tablets? If you're updating by USB, then you can simply delete the old application.

If you are updating via the Deploy Application tool, then there is no direct way to delete a previous application, but you can delete the PFF file for the old application. If you do that, the old application won't show up in the Application Listing. For example:
filedelete("../Fertility Survey/Fertility Survey.pff");

Thank you Martin for your response. If possible, we expect the delete/replace the previous apps via deploy application tool in the future.

Thank you.

Best,
Arjun.
