Get Title/Label of groups from a form instance

Development
1

Hi,

I have a form that has it's group titles/labels in the xml file as

some value

I am trying to get this value "some value" for the groups while
traversing them using the FormEntryController.EVENT_GROUP in the odk
collect source but failed to do so.
All I could achieve was get a GroupDef for the particular FormIndex, but
it has no method to get the value of the label.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Thanks

Look at FormController.getCaptionHierarchy().

You need to get the FormEntryCaption for the group.

FormEntryCaption object has:

getLongText() -- returns the above text
getSpecialFormQuestionText(formName) -- returns the text.
