Thanks Yaw for the response,but i discovered that i'm limited to 9-digits
in the numeric field when entering data on my android device even though i
didn't enable the range checkbox while designing the forms Using ODK
Build.What could be the problem and how could it be solved?

As previously discussed in the ODK Community group:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/opendatakit/10$20digit/opendatakit/gsMX9wRjCqA/9AnMQA-oEE8J

According to the notes in the ODK Collect code:

"// ints can only hold 2,147,483,648. we allow 999,999,999"

The 9 digit limit appears to prevent people from putting too large of
number in the input. Because of historical computer design reasons an
Integer in Java must be smaller than 2,147,483,648. There are
different number types that can support larger values but that will
require a lot of changes.

May I suggest using a string instead?

Additionally, you can use a string with a appearance="number" and it will
let you only input numbers, but up to the length of a string.

Hope this helps,
Waylon
