Hi.
I want one form to be there as soon as odk collect is opened. The form
shouldn't have to be downloaded from the aggregate. The form will be
in res/raw folder and it will be downloaded along with the odk collect
software. I have been trying to figure out where and how to edit the
source code so I can accommodate this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kartikey
probably easiest to copy the files from res/raw to the /odk/forms on
first run. we check for first run in the splashscreen activity, so
maybe spawn an async task there to do the copy.

I am not sure what you mean. I am beginner in this so would appreciate
if you could clarify it.
To clarify on my end, I would like one form to be placed in either res/
raw or res/xml folder and I would like it to be visible to the client
when he/she clicks the 'start form' button. The client shouldn't have
to downloaded the form from any server.
Thanks

let me try again...
the easiest way to accomplish this is to copy the files from the res
folder to the odk/forms folder the first time collect is launched. you
can insert code in the splashscreen activity
(http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/src/org/odk/collect/android/activities/SplashScreenActivity.java?repo=collect)
that runs when the first time collect is launched. that code should be
an asynctask (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html)
that does the file copy. you'll likely have to also pop up some
progress dialog (see the tasks in collect for examples).
if any of that doesn't make any sense, then you should probably brush
up on some android java first before continuing.
http://developer.android.com/index.html is a good place to start.

One more thing. I have created the async class in splashscreen
activity.
Now I am wondering where to execute the class in splashscreen
activity, meaning where should I run this:
CopyForm form = new CopyForm();
form.execute("");
Thanks again

Related question: How can you put shortcuts on the home screen that
launch individual forms? This would take some clicks out of the
process for enumerators.
I have thought of doing this with Android AnyCut or BetterCut.

execute it when first run is true.
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/src/org/odk/collect/android/activities/SplashScreenActivity.java?repo=collect#71
also, it would be a good idea for to follow how use tasks, listeners
and activities. you need to implement a listener on the relevant
activities. the disk sync task is a good place to start.

you can do a long press on the home screen. from there, select
shortcut, and then odk form.

To clarify a bit, listeners are only required if you want feedback from your
asynctask and/or if bad things could happen when the screen rotates.
Progress dialogs are only necessary if the user can't continue until the
task is complete (like loading a form). In your case, since all you're
doing is checking for the existence of a file and copying that file if it
doesn't exist, you should be able to just fire off your task and be done
with it (no listeners or dialogs required).
In fact, spawning a simple thread should be fine in your case if you don't
want to bother with asynctask.

i appreciate all this help. but somehow its still now copying to sd
card.
this is my async task:
class CopyForm extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
super.onPreExecute();
showDialog(FormEntryActivity.PROGRESS_DIALOG);
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String...strings) {
try {
InputStream in =
getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.problem);
OutputStream out = new
FileOutputStream(Collect.FORMS_PATH, "problem");
// Transfer bytes from in to out
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
in.close();
out.close();
}
catch(IOException e){ }
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String unused) {
dismissDialog(FormEntryActivity.PROGRESS_DIALOG);
}
}
and I executed:
CopyForm form = new CopyForm();
form.execute("");
after firstRun=true;
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

yea, but with 1.1.7 you could be copying potentially large files. you
don't wanna show the ui until you are sure the files are there.
