No connection to Internet - What happens to data

I have not installed ODK yet, but have a question. If I do not have
internet access on the Android device, will the app store the data locally
until the device has a connection?
In other words the devices will be out of cell coverage for most of the
time collecting data. When they return to an area that has coverage can
they send all the data with one tap at that time?

That is exactly the use case for which ODK was designed.

Make sure I understand then.... it stores the data in a local database.
When the user is back in coverage then the user has to tap on a button to
do the upload. Or is there a way to make the upload automatic when they
are in coverage?

Thank you very much for the reply!

Each survey is stored individually as an xml file in a folder called
odk/instances on your phone
These are synchronized once you have coverage.
An alternative is to use local sync such as KoBoToolbox, which helps you
sync phones locally (without coverage) using good old cables, grabbing the
xml files, and aggregating them into a csv file that can be analyzed / used

  • we do this a lot for data quality control in the field.

There are options in the application settings for auto-send as well as
manual send.

An option for local transfer (without coverage) is ODK Briefcase.

So I need to set up the briefcase it sounds like. So now do I have lots of
processes for the clients to do? Hard enough to get the data inputted I am
guessing. When then hit the upload button, does it then go to the
breifcase by itself? How does the briefcase then get uploaded?

Briefcase runs on a laptop or desktop and can collect "instance" files
(completed forms) from the client devices connected to it. It can
then (under user control) send them over its Internet connection to
the Aggregate server in lieu of the client device doing so. Yes,
there are a couple more user steps.

But the user will only have an Android device not necessarily a laptop.

I got the idea of capturing an instance of the completed form. Is the only
way to capture each instance to use the brief case? So if all the user has
is a cell phone sized device what are they supposed to do?

The best thing to do is to download the apps, try them, get an
understanding for how they inter-operate.

It sounds like you would not want to use Briefcase or KoBo Toolbox, but
would instead prefer to use ODK Aggregate or one of the other servers for
aggregating your results.

coverage
can they
send all the data with one tap at that time?

I will download it, but I need to have an idea what to do. I understand
how it works IF I have a connection to the Aggregate server. And then
would have a good idea on how to assemble the software to do that. BUT
when then connection is not there, I at least need a clue what to do. I am
going to guess it pops up and says there is NO CONNECTION or something like
that. Then what on earth do I do? I just need to know this is supposed to
do what I need before I spend hours messing with it.

Some basics:

Completed forms are stored on the phone - indefinitely.
These can be copied to a laptop or desktop - physically connecting
phone to computer.
They can be held on the computer indefinitely.
When there is a connection, whether from phone or laptop, they can be
transferred to the server.
If there is never a connection, they stay on the phone and/or laptop.

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you!

So when the user gets a connection then they press a button I guess to
upload all of the forms that are not yet uploaded? I assume the forms are
marked (flagged in the local DB) when they are uploaded?

Thank you all again!

Mark,

I've been using ODK for several years and think its a very easy thing to
get started with. I would recommend the videos and explanations on the
site, e.g. http://opendatakit.org/use/, which outlines that you need to 1)
design a form (or use a sample one), 2) setup a server (a one click
deployment on google apps), and 3) connect the device to that server (a
setting in the ODK application on the Android).

The answer to your specific question -
You will see when you get the sample forms working (and you can do this
with the sample server and the sample form), that each filled-out-form is
saved locally and then you upload them one at a time. Its super intuitive
once you can play around with the ODK Collect on the device. One way to
test is to put your Android in Airplane mode and do a bunch of things and
then reconnect.

The filled-out-forms move from the "ready to upload" state to the "already
uploaded state" when ODK Collect connects to the ODK Aggregate. That means
you won't upload a filled-out-form twice.

Technically, I believe that the ODK Aggregate Database includes a flag for
completed uploaded, which tells the local ODK Collect to not send that
instance of a form again. So, it is more like "if the data is in
Aggregate, then Aggregate has told ODK Collect that there is success and
ODK Collect manages the state of the form locally on the device." All of
that however, is behind the scenes and I may be mixing it up; I have
certainly never had to worry about it - it just works!

Welcome to ODK !

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you!

So when the user gets a connection then they press a button I guess to
upload all of the forms that are not yet uploaded? I assume the forms are
marked (flagged in the local DB) when they are uploaded?

Thank you all again!

Some basics:

Completed forms are stored on the phone - indefinitely.
These can be copied to a laptop or desktop - physically connecting
phone to computer.
They can be held on the computer indefinitely.
When there is a connection, whether from phone or laptop, they can be
transferred to the server.
If there is never a connection, they stay on the phone and/or laptop.

It sounds like you would not want to use Briefcase or KoBo Toolbox,
but
would instead prefer to use ODK Aggregate or one of the other servers
for
aggregating your results.

But the user will only have an Android device not necessarily a

I got the idea of capturing an instance of the completed form. Is
the
only way to capture each instance to use the brief case? So if all
the user
has is a cell phone sized device what are they supposed to do?

Briefcase runs on a laptop or desktop and can collect "instance"
files
(completed forms) from the client devices connected to it. It can
then (under user control) send them over its Internet connection to
the Aggregate server in lieu of the client device doing so. Yes,
there are a couple more user steps.

I am

breifcase
by itself? How does the briefcase then get uploaded?

An option for local transfer (without coverage) is ODK Briefcase.

When the user is back in coverage then the user has to tap on
a

to do
the upload. Or is there a way to make the upload automatic

they
are in
coverage?

Thank you very much for the reply!

In other words the devices will be out of cell coverage for
most of
the
time collecting data. When they return to an area that has
coverage
can they
send all the data with one tap at that time?
