Hi All,

I am trying to add images (png) files as a select one option. I have tried  
to follow one of the sample forms on formhub--birds and on loading my form  
I get this on my device "  
File:/storage/emulated/0/odk/forms/sample-media/EA.png is missing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Adah

Hi Adah,

Do you put the EA.png file in /odk/forms/sample-media/ on your device's SD card?

Hi Yaw,

I didn't realise I had to do that on the devices. I have about 180 of them  
to do this on. I wish there was a faster way.

I will give it a shot and let you know

Thanks

Adah

Aggregate and SurveyCTO both allow you to upload media files with your form  
definitions, so that they are downloaded automatically, with your forms,  
onto your devices. I believe that Briefcase also supports this. I presume  
that formhub also lets you upload media files?

Yes - for each file you can upload your files into a media folder  
associated with the form and they will be downloaded with the form.

Thanks,
