It is because both variants of ODK Collect have same package name. Can you
tell why you need 2 ODK applications on same android device?

Dear Ayub.

I have a use case where i need multiple "ODK Collect" instances for
different types of data collection.

So far i'am able to install multiple instances of "ODK Collect" but problem
is all the instances are overriding the "odk" directory created in the
device memory.
Hence data's from all the instances are getting stored in that single "odk"
directory which creates confusion in recognition that which data belongs to
which instance of "ODK Collect"

Kindly help by which i can separate the default "odk" directory for each of
the instances created at the time of installation.

Dear Himashu,

I think you need to Modify ODK Collect source. Look for "odk_directory"
under strings.xml file in the source files of ODK Collect. If you change
that, this should make whatever directory you set this variable/string to.

Alternatively, you can use 2 cheap android phones, which would be far
better approach than this as you may run into other problems after this
one. Not many have tried this in the community and very few would be able
to help.

Best,
Ayub
