Using phone browser to upload submissions doesn't work in Aggregate 1.0 #207

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use Aggregate development tip as of April 20th, 2011.
2. use the phone's browser to connect to server and do upload
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

eduardo@titus.net reports that on samsung galaxy s, the browser doesn't show 
the xml form submission prompt, just the media submission prompt.

This is perhaps an element id problem, but might be an incompatibility within 
the javascript or HTML 5 features?

Rearranged the "New Form" and "Upload Data" screens to have the data input 
fields above the text.  The native Android browser doesn't resize the 
javascript-launched windows properly, or allow scrolling in them.

The ability to upload media files is highly dependent upon the file chooser you 
use from within the browser.  If the chooser does not return the filename of 
the file you've selected, you will not be able to upload any media files.  
Astro File Manager is one file chooser that does return the filename.  It 
doesn't seem to support a choose-multiple-file, however, so uploading multiple 
attachments is tiresome and requires that the form/submission have a 
meta/instanceID field that is populated with a unique id for each submission.  
If that is the case, you can upload the complete submission by uploading the 
xml file and one attachment at a time.
