Hello everyone 1. What is the problem? Be very detailed. I started some days ago to create some forms (in Excel) to collect geological data on the field. I succeed to create basic forms. But I wanted to create a form that: a- geolocalized the user (with geopoint). OK b- Simply launch an app tha…

@Julien The app you are trying to use is FieldMove Clino is there any documentation that shows you can do that (that you can start the app from another app)? I'm asking because I can't see anything. If an app allows starting one of its activities from an external app it has to add intent filter i…

Welcome to the forum, @Julien ! I think your package name is probably incorrect. It should be com.mve.fieldmove.clino and what you typed has an extra period. If that still doesn't work, can you upload/attach the XLSForm?

Thanks for you answer. The package name was good in the .xml file. It was a typing mistake, sorry. I uploaded the file below. Structural_measurement.xml (1.5 KB) Thanks for your help

I experiment some issue too :slight_smile: Launch a scanner app and attach a PDF from Collect - #8 by LN

Thanks for the link. I saw that the issue was coming from the "external" app. Did you manage to find a workaround to your issue ?

Non I did'nt find any issue for printing But I manage to partially use a other app ( to generate qr code) I do not understand in which case it works

Thanks for the explanation. I suspected this kind of issue. But I do not have sufficient knowledge in the Android world to prove my point ... I'm glad it was not a bug from ODK Collect. In the meantime, I found a workaround. I will create a form that explain the "HowTo" collect structural data …

No problem! Yeah that's not easy and requires some knowledge so don't hesitate to ask.

I feel like I am one of the utmost users of ODK collect in my country and am very thank-full of this app’s developers. For today I am troubled to program my xlform so that instead of taking photo using the internal camera an external “smart compass” app (that uses mobiles with the necessarily sensor…

Hi @Girma_Kassa you need to find such a hybrid app that would work as a camera as well so we could start it using image widget. Then you could just take a photo. Does the app you are using work like that?

yes it does. In fact there are many compasses and smart compasses with a camera screen and button with the xyz orientation labels vibrating until you take one. This is the compass i want to utilize from the inside of an ODK question. [image]
