Get coordinates from external application!

Hi Guys,

I have a problem getting geolocation with ODK Collect. Is very slow at the
best moments and it can't get anything in other moment. I planned to use a
external application called GPSLogger, found in Play Store. My problem is
that i can't get coordinates form GPSLogger in a ODK Form. I see the Bearth
Count example but still cant solve it.
Can anybody help me to get coordinates from GPSLogger and insert them in a
field, in ODK Form.
I don't want to start the application (like the filed start BearthCounter)
because the application is always running. i just need to take the
coordinates and input them to odk.

thanks guys.

If you want to record a single GPS point, use the built in geopoint
widget that ODK offers. If you want to record a polygon (e.g., a
series of points),
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/RqrqBJqSNLY/nzgExR3qa6AJ
has a discussion of what your options are.

To connect GPS Logger to ODK Collect, GPS Logger has to respond to an
Intent with the keys/values specified in your form. It probably
doesn't so you'll have to talk with the developer about adding that
feature. The protocol that is used for these exernal widgets is
detailed at https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/XFormControlExtensionProposal.

Here is an example of collecting polygons using the "geopolygon" question
type and the Smap server. (As per
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/RqrqBJqSNLY/nzgExR3qa6AJ). This
survey used 'placement-map' as an appearance on the geopoint question along
with odkCollect 1.4 so I did not actually travel to those points to record
them.
