MicroStrategy ONE
Customize the Login Screen UI Using Properties in Android
You can create a custom login screen without writing code, simply by using a properties file, called authentication_settings.json. For example, you could create a custom login screen for mobile server authentication on an Android phone, like the one shown below.
The MicroStrategy Mobile application reads this properties file to obtain the definition of the user interface to be used in the following authentication screens.
To customize one of these authentication screens, you first create the authentication_settings.json file, if it does not already exist, and save it under the /MicroStrategyMobile/app/src/main/res/raw folder. Then, you add the key:value pairs needed to achieve the customization you want. To customize keys with a string value, you can use a strings.xml file.
The properties you can customize on each authentication screen are described below:
You can customize the following properties on the mobile server login screen:
An illustration of the properties that can be customized on the mobile server login screen is shown below:

A description of how to customize each key:value pair for mobile server authentication is provided below. If you want the customizations to apply to all mobile servers, add values under the "Default" key. If you want the customizations to apply to a specific mobile server, add values under the key with the mobile server name or IP address. For example, "mobileserver.com". You can add multiple mobile server keys, as needed.
-
Customize the value for the “Background Color” key, using either the hex color values
Copy"Background Color": {
"ARGB": "0xBFEFFF"
}or the RGB values
Copy"Background Color": {
"Red": 0,
"Green": 0,
"Blue": 255,
"Alpha": 255
} -
If the MicroStrategyMobile project is not open, open it in Android Studio, navigate to MicroStrategyMobile -> app -> src > main -> res and do the following:
Changing the Image
- Create the icon image and give it a meaningful name - for example, serverLoginIcon.png. Use Google's
recommendations for the size of the icon .
-
Copy the icon image to all the res -> drawable-* folders.
The names of files in the drawable-* folders must contain only lowercase a-z, 0-9, or _.
-
Set the value of the "icon image" key to the name of the icon image you just created. For example,
"icon image":"serverLoginIcon".
Changing the Image Size
By default, the icon image is 48dp x 48dp, but you may want to use an image with a different width and height for different sized screens/devices. To change the image size, you modify an XML file called dimens.xml, located in the following res -> values folder.
- values
- values-hdpi
- values-mdpi
- values-sw60dp
- values-sw600dp-xhdpi
- values-xhdpi
- values-xxhdpi
Each values-* folder has the icon image for a different screen resolutions. For example, if you are using a phone with very high image resolution, you would need to modify dimens.xml in values-xxhdpi.
-
Create an XML file called dimens.xml with the following content.
Copy<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<dimen name="authentication_logo_width">48dp</dimen>
<dimen name="authentication_logo_height">48dp</dimen>
</resources> - Replace the values for authentication_logo_width and authentication_logo_height (48dp) with the width and height of your icon image for a specific device/screen size.
- Save dimens.xml in the appropriate folder under src -> main -> res.
- Repeat steps 1-3 for each device/screen size. For example, create separate dimens.xml files and save them under values-hdpi, values-mdpi, and so on.
- Create the icon image and give it a meaningful name - for example, serverLoginIcon.png. Use Google's
recommendations for the size of the icon .

Customize Strings Using a strings.xml File
A typical way to customize string values is to use a strings.xml file. For example, steps to customize the string SERVER_CUSTOM_HEADER in the json are described below.
- Create a values folder under res.
- Create a string.xml file in the values folder and add the customized string to this file. If you need to customize the string for different locales, use the procedures in steps 3 and 4.
- Create a locale-specific values-* folder under res or use the one that you have already created. For example, for US English, create or use a folder called values-en-rUS. This folder is a sibling of the values folder inside res. If the MicroStrategyMobile project is not open, open it in Android Studio and navigate to MicroStrategyMobile -> app -> src > main -> res. A list of all locale-specific folders you can create or use are shown below:
values-da-rDK
values-de
values-en
values-en-rGB
values-en-rUS
values-es
values-fr
values-it
values-ja
values-ko
values-nl
values-pl
values-pt
values-ru
values-sv
values-zh-rCN
values-zh-rTW
- Add a strings.xml file to the values-en-rUS folder or use the one that you have already created.
-
Add a SERVER_CUSTOM_HEADER attribute to the strings.xml file and set its value to the string that represents the info that you want displayed.
Copy<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<resources>
<string name="SERVER_CUSTOM_HEADER”>”This is server header”</string>
<string name="SERVER_CUSTOM_HEADER”>”This is server header”</string>
...
</resources> - Save strings.xml.
