Dear ODK developers,
I am posting this question just to get an idea on how to integrate ODK Aggregate data with other web application (possibly developed with php/mysql). i.e. I will develop a web application with three or forms similar to ODK forms and to allow users access the web application interface from browser and to populate data to the ODK aggregate
Is there any mechanism or to begin
I have no idea where to begin , Please reply to the post if you have any idea about
Regard,
Jonas
Hi Jonas,
That sounds exciting. I went through the same questions when developing
Enketo https://enketo.org.
The OpenRosa Submission APIhttps://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/FormSubmissionAPI and
the OpenRosa Form Discovery APIhttps://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/FormListAPI are
the most interesting docs. For the latter be aware that you'll get a
differently formatted formList from Aggregate if the custom OpenRosa header
is not included (e.g. if you browse to it in a browser) - something that
tripped me up (repeatedly).
Also consider using and contributing to Enketo-corehttps://github.com/MartijnR/enketo-coreif you'd like to evaluate form logic inside the browser, using javascript,
without server communication (does not use any of the OpenRosa libraries).
This core library is meant to be used as a building block for developers to
develop ODK-compatible apps with. Note that it will undergo some major
modernization work in the next few months.
There is also Dimagi's Touchforms https://github.com/dimagi/touchforms which
may be of interest.
Good luck,
Martijn
