Accessing ODK Collect forms on a Lollipop device

Dear community

I am attempting to place forms onto a device with Lollipop installed.
Unfortunately, when I install ODK Collect, it does not generate an \odk\
folder set, and the system appears not to allow me to create a new folder
that has a name of less than four characters. Further, when I attempt to
Get Blank Form, I get the attached error message.

Can anyone tell me:

  1. Whether this is a Lollipop issue, or maybe a device-specific issue (I'm
    using a Asus fonepad)?
  2. If they have had the same error message/problem, and if they have
    managed to figure out a workaround?

Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer

Hi Guy,

Your best bet it to use adb logcat to look through the logs for
insights into what is causing the crash. The rough steps are:

a. Install the SDK to get adb:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other. It will be in
/platform-tools/
b. Enable adb debugging on your device:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#Enabling
c. Run "adb logcat -c" to clear the logs.
d. Reproduce the issue.
e. Then "adb logcat -d > Name_of_Log_File.txt" to capture the log and
post to http://dpaste.com and send the link to the list.
