New to ODK

Hi everyone,
I am very new to OpenDataKit . I am basically an android developer and I am looking forward to develop an app which has ODK integrated in it.The app has lot of functionalities including some data collection from user.The data to be collected from user (forms /surveys) varies from time to time.The app will check server and download the required forms ,get the data from users and send it back to the server.So my app will only be having a framework which can display any forms.How can i do this with ODK?

All of those features are already part of ODK Collect and ODK Aggregate.

See http://opendatakit.org/ for our user documentation. I recommend
experimenting first with using the tools before diving into the code.

Our software and wiki for software developers is here:

Hey,
Thanks.Actually i downloaded and used Collect apk.If my understanding is right using this i can only download some forms and fill it and send to the server.What tool i should use if i need to integrate the collect apk functionality inside my app.That is data filling and sending is possible by just using my app without using 'collect.apk'

I do not understand.

ODK Collect implements downloading, filling-in, and submitting completed
forms.

You can wrap ODK Collect with your own application by adding or removing
forms and submissions through its content providers. You can launch ODK
Collect into a specific form or instance by providing a content provider
URI to a form or submission. To see how, you can look at the ODK Tables
application's CollectUtils
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/tables/src/org/opendatakit/tables/utils/CollectUtil.java?repo=tables

If you want to completely replace ODK Collect with your own application,
the underlying library we use to process the XML is JavaRosa
