Export the Mind Map

In Freemind, you need to export your mind map as a JSON file. To do this, you must use a script that allows for the export of mind maps into different formats.

Here is the script that we use: Gist Link

  1. Open Freemind
  2. Make sure you are on the right map you wish to export
  3. File > Export > Using XSLT....
  4. For "Choose XSL File," browse and select the script to export from Freemind to JSON.
  5. Choose the location and filename for the exported JSON file. Make sure that the destination filename ends with .json.
  6. Click export, and you are done.

Load New JSON file

Once you have exported your mins maps, make sure you can locate it.

  1. Locate your new JSON file.
  2. On your computer, navigate to the location of the Android Client repository.
  3. Open the repo, and navigate to the assets folder (or where the folder should be). This is as follows: android > app > src > main > assets (if it exists, otherwise, create assets).
  4. Rename your JSON file to the appropriate name: knowledge, famHist, patHist, physExam. Should end with .json, regardless of name
  5. Create a folder called "engines" in your assets folder.
  6. Drag your renamed JSON file into the engines folder, and replace existing files if necessary. You could also store the existing file there, by just renaming it as OLD-originalfilename.json.

If there are any job aids that need to be added, create a new folder in the assets folder called physicalExam_assets. Then add all job aids into that folder.
