Does ODK Collect on Android Support Form Instance Autofill From External App

There are couple of approaches:

  • Make Collect the app users launch and launch your custom app from the form to retrieve values. See https://docs.opendatakit.org/launch-apps-from-collect/ and note that you can populate multiple fields at once.

  • Write an instance XML file directly to /sdcard/odk/instances. You can either launch the instance selection list screen which will show those new instances to the user or populate the database through the InstanceProvider. You can read more at Adding Instance to database - #2 by Mitch_S.
