Home Teaching Visit Teaching for Android
To get started with President's Whiteboard, you can either manually enter the names of all your families into the app, or import them from MLS. Here's how to import:
(1) In MLS, click on the "Organizations" menu.
(2) Select the "HT Organization" (or "VT Organization") submenu.
(3) Select the "HT Companionships" (or "VT Companionships") submenu.
(4) Click the Edit menu, and choose "Copy to file".
(5) Email the resulting file to yourself, then copy it to the "Downloads" folder on your Android device.
(6) Start the app, and tap the "Import from MLS" menu option. Select the saved file and you're done!
This app was written as a class project by the students in CS 203 at Brigham Young University Hawaii (Fall 2013 semester). http://www.byuh.edu/
We hope you find this app useful, and welcome any feedback you may have.
I was excited to try this app, but I was a bit disappointed. You cannot load the info from MLS unless you are on a computer at church. We do not have access to MLS at home. To input the families was very tedious. Every time I entered a name it took me out of the edit family feature and I had to re-enter it every time. Also, it only shows first names when you use a phone instead of a tablet. It could be great, but needs some work.
Adding households was straightforward enough, but I don't see how to add companionships. The option seems to be missing. Can't really use it without that (not interested in the import) unless I enter the home teachers as households. Seems like a fundamental oversight.
I cant get mls to copy file I just get a message that says an error occurred. any ideas id like to try the app
I love the interface, it helps me visualize what changes I need to make. I was so happy to see I could upload the current list! Is there anyway I can print once my changes are made? Or add people who may have just moved in? Your the only app I could find, I wish I could use it on my other devices (my windows or mac computer) as we have a relief society list of more than 250 sisters.
Very helpful
Helps to visualize the changes and keep it straight in my head.
I downloaded this app to try and save time organizing our home-teaching because we have nearly 1400 apartments and need to organize it about every month. Despite that it does not upload into MLS it makes making changes very easy. Then I just hand it off to my secretary and he inputs it all.

When trying to set up the files to email it goes to LCR instead of MLS. Completely stuck!
