Dear Sirs et Madames,
So far I have been working using a Samsung Galaxy Tab emulator. I have
now acquired a physical Samsung Galaxy Tab, but am not in a position
to download ODK Collect nor download the forms from my server (no
internet on Tab). However I DO have the apk on my laptop, is it
possible to install ODK collect on an Android device straight from an
SD card (I can transfer apk from laptop to SD Card)? If so are there
any instructions I need to follow? Same applies for the actual forms,
how can I get the form onto the device via an SD card?

Yes it is, same as most other apps. Just place it on the SD card, open
/sdcard/external_sd/collect.apk (I guess) using the My Files application,
and it will install.
If so are there any instructions I need to follow? Same applies for the

Not directly on the Tab, but you can use My Files to move the forms from
/sdcard/external_sd/form.xml to /sdcard/odk/forms/form.xml and then ODK
will recognise it.
You can also use adb to install applications and push forms via the USB
cable, much more convenient than swapping fiddly and delicate SD cards.
Cheers, Chris.

using adb is what i'd recommend. it comes as part of the android
developer tools.
