Error: "Sorry! The application ODK Collect (processed org.odk.collect.android) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I keep getting this error message when I try to swipe forward from a note
in the middle of my survey to a group of a dozen simple questions questions.

This section is within a group that is within a repeat group. The error
keeps popping up within the first go at this repeat group.

Given the earlier problems with the loading of your survey, and the size of
your earlier XLS survey post, I suspect you are running out of memory on
your device.

The proof would be to use a log viewer (e.g.,
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/CollectTroubleshooting ) and,
after you encounter the Force Close, run the tool to see what the last
exception was that was thrown by org.odk.collect... It is likely to be
OutOfMemory.

If you are using the KoBo XLSForm converter's cascading_select mechanism,
consider switching to the newer XLSForm cascading select mechanism (
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/xlsform/ scroll down to Cascading
Selects). If you must use the older mechanism, or if you are using very
complex conditions or equations in your form,consider simplifying these
equations by computing intermediate values then using those values in the
final equation or condition.

Otherwise, I would recommend redesigning your survey into two or more
smaller surveys. You may need to cross-link these individual surveys via
some paper means, such as scanning the same barcode to identify them as
part of the same larger survey record (then discarding that barcode once
the survey for that household is complete).

Each survey will load faster (the time to load a survey is proportionately
longer the longer the survey is -- it always takes more than 10x time to
load a survey that is 10x larger).
You won't have to worry about exceeding the memory of the device.

Thank you, I'll be sure to correct that. The survey is working now that I
have tried it on a PDA with more RAM.
