Include a form at install

I'm rolling up a single purpose version of ODK Collect for a research
project where the users will only ever use one form. Is it possible to copy
the form.xml to sdcard/odk/form/ when the app is installed?

thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil,

It's possible, but you'll have to write the code.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8664468/copying-raw-file-into-sdcard
is a good place to start.

It'd be nice if this was done in a more generic way so that you could
contribute this to trunk. That is, there is already a feature in
Collect that configures app settings from a file. If we could add an
automatic form update, that'd solve a lot of problems for deployments.

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I'll see what I can do with it.
Best,
