Gurux DLMS for Android

Hi!
I want to read the description of all my GXDLMSObjectCollection objects. I call the function
"(GXDLMSObjectCollection).save(final OutputStream stream, final GXXmlWriterSettings settings)"
and creates the XML correctly but the function (GXDLMSObject).getDescription always return the String "Invalid" in ALL objects. Please, can you help me?

Best regards.

Hi,

Hi,

What version you are using? Have you modified the source code? This is now tested and it works without problems with several different Android versions and different meters.

Are you reading the association view from the meter or are you adding COSEM objects by yourself?

BR,
Mikko
