I'm about to run some surveys in an area where the internet connection is
unreliable. And I want to be able to download the surveys from the phone
off-line. I downloaded ODK briefcase, and i the Pull tab I have selected
"mounted android SD card". But when I connect the phone the computer, I
select that option from the drop-down menu and click on connect, another
window appears which shows the name of my android but once I select that
nothing happens. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or if there is
another way to download the data off-line from the android devices using
ODK collect?

Selecting the mounted drive should then return a list of the forms on the
phone. If there are no forms on the phone, the list will be empty.
What operating system are you using?
You may be able to use the "Custom Path to ODK Directory" option.
In that case, if the "Mounted Android SD Card" option returned "D:" as the
mounted drive, you would select "D:\odk" for the custom path.
If that doesn't work, if you are comfortable working at the command prompt,
you can:
(1) open a cmd prompt window
(2) cd to the location of the ODK Briefcase jar
(3) enter "java -version" to see if your java program is accessible on the
command line.
(4) if it isn't determine its location (likely C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6\bin\ )
(5) execute either:
java -jar "ODK Briefcase v1.0.2.1 Production.jar" 2> err.txt > out.txt
or the same command with the full path to your java program, if (3) above
failed.
(6) This comand should launch the ODK Briefcase app. Using the app, attempt
to connect to the phone and pull files.
(7) exit ODK Briefcase
(8) send me the err.txt and out.txt files that were created in this
directory as attachments ( to mitchellsundt@gmail.com ).

Hello Mitch,
I'm using a Mac and my operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
I do have forms in my phone but they are not showing up. And I tried using
the "D:\odk" but I think this is for Windows system? When I plug in my
phone and I choose mounted android sd card, on the list it appears
/volume/no name And no name is the name of the phone when I plug it into
the computer. Do you have an idea what is going on with my system. Also I'm
using ODK briefcase v.1.1 could that be the problem?
Thanks so much for your help,
nabil

You should be able to open the file directly under /volume/no name/odk.
I'll take a look at this tomorrow on our Mac.
