No Internet Work Around? #213

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hi,
I am hoping to use this app on an Android that cannot access the internet (long 
story- but just consider it not a resource). I am able to connect it to a 
computer to give it the information it needs (this is how I got the app on it), 
then I am hoping to have the survey filled out by several users on the same 
device and have the information downloaded back onto the computer into my 
database.

Is there a way to give my Android tablet the form without connecting to the 
internet with just the XML import? I am really really new at this word of 
developing!

Thanks for the help!

odk has been designed to support offline use.

if you put the xform in the /odk/forms folder in your sdcard, the tablet will 
be able to use to the form. the completed forms get saved to /odk/instances. 
(this is also described in the notes section at 
http://opendatakit.org/use/collect/)

the kobo post processor is a nice offline processor of the forms. 
http://code.google.com/p/kobo/ and http://www.koboproject.org/ has more 
information.

if you have more questions about how this works, send it to 
opendatakit@googlegroups.com
