EpiCollect not showing up in Market

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Am working in Zambia and hoping to use EpiCollect or similar. To trial the 
software, we bought an HTC Wildfire (unlocked international version bought in 
the US). I then wanted to install epicollect, but can't find it in the android 
market (tried searching for epicollect, epi collect, imperial college and have 
also scanned the barcode, but to no avail). I am guessing that there is a 
filter in the app that is preventing it showing up in this phones  market 
place, but don't know of a way to over-ride it. I can find a link to the app on 
the web, but can't get it onto the phone. 

Are there any settings that i need to change on the phone or do you have a .apk 
file I can download to install on the phone while any market issues get 
resolved?

Very keen to trial this software asap.....

Hi,  the app will be available very shortly - the desire is a small screen 
device and the market needs apps to be flagged as 'available' on smaller 
devices.  
Rather than waiting, you can however install the apk directly from here:

http://www.epicollect.net/epicollect.apk

you'll need to allow non-market apps to be installed (within application 
settings on your phone) then load the link above on the phones browser and once 
downloaded click to install.

all the best

Thanks David,

Have now got the application installed on the phone. Am hitting a few issues, 
but will see if I can resolve them before reporting them back to you....

Had a feeling that the issue with it not appearing in the market was to do 
with the wildfire being a small-screen.

Thanks for your help.

Am afraid the problem I have is rather generic. I have generated a single form 
on the site and pointed the app to the site, but whether I select new entry, 
list entries or Display Map, I get the following error message;

The application Epicollect (process uk.ac.imperial.epi_collect) has stopped 
unexpectedly. please try again

Everything works fine with the demoproject though so not sure if it is a 
problem with the form I have played around with....

Hi Dan,

have you used "date" as a field name? This sometimes causes this issue. Can you 
send us the name of your project?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris, 

The project name is ACD.ZM

I did indeed have a date field, but deleting it hasn't stopped the issue (so 
far)....

Hope there is a simple solution.

Dan, 

It looks like it's because there's a dot in the project name, I'll pass this on 
to Derek, our Android developer. In the mean time I've changed your project to 
ACD_ZM so it should work with that name.

Chris,

That sorted it - seems to be working well now. Thanks for your rapid 
response!!

Hi, I also have an HTC Wildfire handset. I was able to install EpiCollect using 
the link in this thread. However, is this perhaps an older version of the 
application? For instance, although I am able to add new entries using the 
handset, the 'Tap to Synchronize Entries' is not present under 'List Entries', 
so I can't retrieve entries made from other handsets (e.g. my iPod).

Hi Chris,

I am also experiencing the same problem like Dan, my project name is 
YYCNAssessment2 Can you kindly check for me what is the problem, is it because 
of the Numeric No 2? and if so can you please rename for because I cant see the 
option of renaming the project
