Add progress bar display #613

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Would it be possible to have a progress bar showing the person who is carrying 
out the data input, how far along they are in filling the form?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I have numbered the questions in the forms, informing the user before they 
start filling in data how many forms they will have to fill in

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
odk v1.1.7 multiple android devices

Please provide any additional information below.

The easiest thing is to add something to the hierarchical activity ( "Go to 
Prompt" ) that counts and shows obn that screen how many blank fields are in 
the form (e.g., "10 of 20 fields completed").  However, it is hard to determine 
whether these fields are relevant or not, so the % complete would always be 
understated.

Note that repeated groups also present a problem. If you're completing a 
household survey, even if you can hit 100% complete, then get asked whether to 
add another group and drop back to a lower %.

Code contributions welcome.

Another problem with this is the bar is not that reliable when considering 
relevant/skip logic. As the system doesn't know how many questions are left.

Hello all, 

Being new to the ODK I have not used repeated groups, but understand what you 
mean by the % count would not be accurate in that case of repeated grouped 
questions. With regards to questions that would be skipped, I was thinking 
about how in past surveys I would fill, and the completion bar would jump if a 
question I answered implied that other questions became irrelevant.

Older versions (like really old versions) had a progress bar like that but it 
was so jerky and unpredictable that people didn't like it.
