Hello ODK Community,
I was wondering if there was a simple way to rename the Instance Files that
are generated. Currently, the instance files are named as follows:
I would like to add the a value from the instance such as the name/# of the
household.
NameOfSurvey_Year_Month_Day_Time_Household

user-specified (think save as..) instances is the second item on my
todo list for the 1.1.7 release. doing it from the instance is
something we've talked about, but i don't think that'll make it in
this release.
wrt 1.1.7 is that still going to be released this month?

yup.
Yaw,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I am a developer, so I have been working on
modifying the code myself to fit certain needs.
I found where I can change it in the code. Please let me know of any
caveats.
For any developers out there reverse engineering as I have been, the name of
the instance file can be modified in FormEntryActivity.java
in the loadingComplete() method.
mInstanceDirPath is the variable to manipulate as seen fit. This is what is
passed to the setExportVars(...) method in SaveToDiskTask.java
I have been working on a custom version of ODK that so far allows users to
Create "prepopulated" fields
Add all household members before starting a repeated group
Skip around in a nonlinear fashion between groups with all of the household
members displayed on a fixed portion of the screen. I sent a concept shot of
this earlier, now it actually works.
Take a random sample of the household members based on age
I have also programmed it to allow the user to link a particular household
member to another form.
Working now on allowing the user to select missing household members, so the
user can easily go back to the form to enter in data should the household
member turn up.
Pretty excited. Doing a pilot with a non profit in Ethiopia later this week.
I will share the results once everything is finished, but ODK has been
invaluable.

Just a note. I am developing for the 7 inch tablets running Android 2.2 we
will be using, but downloaded the apk onto my HTC Evo , and it scales down
fine. (just needs few minor modifications).
Modifying the instance file named worked via mInstanceDirPath.
Were you planning on adding the save as as part of the menu, an automatic
alert dialog that comes up at the end of the form with the current name and
the option to change it, or something else? For what I am doing I am
automatically changing file names to fit predefined ids we have set.
I am working with tablets I have more screen real estate. Would it make
sense to branch for a tablet version of ODK, which is basically what I have
been developing that can still adapt to smaller screens. Not sure what the
future development plans are, but I would like to contribute if I can.

that's awesome news! let us know how the pilot goes and once we get
1.1.7 out, we can see if we can pull in some of your changes.
