Sorry for the probably simple question, but I haven't been able to find the answer elsewhere.
I am using using XLSForms to create my survey for use with ODKcollect on a Nexus 7 tablet. I am trying to input images as one of my 'select one' options. I have placed the images into the folder 'sdcard/odk/forms/ceform150514-media', as per instruction, and am able to view them on the device. However when I reach that question I get:
'/storage/emulated/0/odk/forms/ceform150514-media/image.jpg is missing'
I understand that this is a different file path to the one in which my image is stored. Does anyone know how to either change this so that it is looking in the correct folder, or how to save my images into the folder in which it is looking? (or some other way of making my images appear!)
These should refer to the same file. The /sdcard/ path is ordinarily a
shorter way to write /storage/emulated/0/ The program is trying to access
the file using the longer prefix because it is asking the Android OS for
the location of the external storage directory (sdcard), and the OS returns
this longer file path.
Did you recently upgrade the Android OS on the tablet? What OS version are
you running?
We have used Nexus 7 tablets (2012 vintage) extensively, and haven't yet
seen this issue, except when upgrading across operating system releases.

They are running Android 5.1. I think they have just been updated (they belong to the department, I've only just inherited them)

I suspect there is a spelling difference between the filename specified in
your form, and the filename of the actual image. This might be a UTF-8
glyph difference; I.e., there are glyphs that look very similar, but have
different character values. The character values are what are used within
the program to match the filenames with the references in the XLS/XML file.
For one of the images that is not being found, try opening a file browser
to the file, selecting it, and copying its name, then pasting that name
into the XLS file.
