Hey everyone,
I'm happy to announce that we've just released the betas of ODK Collect
1.1.7 and Aggregate 1.0 today! We're still in the process of adding some
features and cleaning things up a bit, but we wanted to get it out so you
could begin testing the new functionality. There are some known bugs, so
we'll be updating the betas frequently and working to fix those before the
final release.
Among the features added to this release of Collect are multiple questions
per screen, several new widgets, and secure data transmission to servers.
Aggregate has added a brand new UI, access control for both viewing and
submitting data, and ability to run on either locally on Tomcat/MySQL or in
the cloud on App Engine.
You can see a list of all the features for both here:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/Roadmap
Both betas can be downloaded here:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/downloads/list
The extra instructions for installing your own Aggregate instance are here:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/AggregateReleaseNotes
Our test Aggregate instance, http://opendatakit.appspot.com/, has been
updated to the 1.0 beta and has sample forms demoing the new functionality.
Please file any bug reports in our issue tracker, and be sure to note that
you're using one (or both) of the betas:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/list
We had a lot of people from the community provide great feedback and code
that went into this release, and we'd like to thank everyone for helping to
improve and push the project forward!
Enjoy!
ODK Team
I've got my device set to auto update. Will 1.1.7 auto-magically appear on
it sometime or do I need to grab it?

Hi,
Many thanks for releasing the beta ...
... one question though. Does the new release address any (or all 
)
of the current issues? For example I'm interested in being able to
record Audio, see
Many Thanks
Kirby
Is there any reason Collect won't install on the emulator? I just
downloaded the emulator and it seems to be running. I point it the download
list, download 1.1.7 to emulator and start the installation and get the
installation scroll and then its happy to report "Application not installed"
with only a "done" button. No indication of why it didn't install. I'm
running 2.3.3 same as what's on my EVO.

Since the beta is a work in progress we're not pushing it to market, so
you'll have to install it manually. Once the official 1.1.7 release comes
out and we put it in Market all the normal update/auto-update magic will
apply.

Hi Kirby,
The beta does address many issues, but I still need to go through the issue
tracker and make sure I've marked all the issues 'fixed' that we've fixed.
I'll also make a list of bug fixes in this release and post them.
The particular issue you list below hasn't been fixed, yet, but I'll make
sure it gets into beta-2.

Collect 1.1.7 uses some of the Maps APIs, so your emulator needs to be
created with a target of "Google APIs" instead of just the standard "Android
#.#".

I've just played with 1.1.5 which I got from the market. Is there some
instructions someplace on how to manually install it? (I'm not sure if my
EVO is protecting me from myself as I can't see where it even keeps 1.1.5 on
my device.) thx.

Thanks. I installed "Google APIs (Google Inc.) platform 3.1 API Level 12"
when I "start" it took forever to get off the "anDROID" loading screen and
then it comes back with just bits and pieces of the screen but mostly black
and no device keyboard. Is there other things that need to be loaded at
well?

Steve,
First make sure you can install non-market apps:
home -> menu -> settings -> applications -> unknown sources (checked)
Then the easiest way is probably to, on your computer, open a browser to:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/downloads/list
select ODK Collect 1.1.7, and use a barcode scanning app on your phone to
scan the code. Click on the link that appears, it should download the .apk,
and you should be able to select it in your downloads list to start the
install.
The other way would be to use the browser on your phone and point it to
(which is what the barcode scanner does for you):
http://opendatakit.googlecode.com/files/ODK-Collect-1.1.7-beta1.apk

Ah, I believe that Android 3.0+ is specific to tablets, so it probably won't
work if you're trying to load it on an emulator with a phone-sized screen.
Try Google APIs platform 2.3.3 API level 10 or lower.

This is great. I like the multiple inputs on a page. I do notice if I have
more than 2 text inputs on a page I can't seem to scroll down and the ones
below are hidden by the keyboard (using Swype if that makes a difference.)
Under the title of beggars can't be choosers but is there a way to have the
multiple inputs side by side instead of stacked vertically? (e.g. I have
two sets of radio buttons with the idea of select one radio button in each
set. Would be nice if they were side by side instead of one on top of the
other.
Also are there instructions someplace on how to affect the Optional Branding
capability?
Thanks,

Steve,
First make sure you can install non-market apps:
home -> menu -> settings -> applications -> unknown sources (checked)
Then the easiest way is probably to, on your computer, open a browser
to:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/downloads/list
select ODK Collect 1.1.7, and use a barcode scanning app on your phone
to scan the code. Click on the link that appears, it should download the
.apk, and you should be able to select it in your downloads list to start
the install.
The other way would be to use the browser on your phone and point it to
(which is what the barcode scanner does for you):

Carl,
Thanks for the advice on 'new/updated' features.
Another coupled of questions ...
I've got an exsting Collect/Aggregate instance. Can I install the
betas in parallel with my existing instances - or will they over-write
my existing versions and data?
I'd naturally like to try out the betas without compromising existing
data (i.e. data I've collected already).
I believe there was planned to be some migration tool - is this
available?
I understand there was planned to be a new method of accessing data
held under Aggregate programatically - are details of this interface
available?
Many Thanks
Kirby
Hey Kirby,
For Aggregate, you can install up to 10 instances on appengine or install it
on your local machine. So yes, you can create another instance and operate
it in parallel.
For Collect, it will override your existing version. It won't delete your
data, though. Your forms will be re-detected automatically. Your saved
data will still be on the sdcard, but the new version won't be able to read
it (from this version on, upgrading shouldn't cause this problem, though).
I'll let Waylon or Mitch comment about the status of programatic access to
aggregate data and the tool to migrate data from a .9x instance to a 1.0

I had no problem with 1.1.7 installing and the old forms worked just fine.
However I am having problems with multiple text inputs on one page. If I
have more than 2 then I can't scroll down to the ones covered by the (swype)
on-screen keyboard. I can't dismiss the keyboard and scroll either. I do
notice on other pages that have a mix of input types it doesn't seem to be a
problem.

In regards to running Aggregate in parallel on the same appengine id,
we do not recommend it as it was not designed with that use case.
Having said that we have tried it and it appears to work, but this is
not recommended and could cause issues if any of the database table
names collide as the database is the same for all 10 appengine
instances. We recommend creating another appengine id; however, it is
possible to run in parallel but at your own risk (we have not found a
problem but we have not looked either).
The migration capabilities as well as programmatic access to data will
become available with the first official release of Briefcase.
Briefcase is going through a complete redesign and will come out in a
month or so (it was not included in the current Beta release).
As a reminder both Aggregate and Collect are in Beta stage meaning the
ODK team is working to remove bugs. We wanted to make the betas of the
tools publicly available for people to use who have been waiting for
all the new features so they can help us test. The systems are not at
"production ready" status yet.

Hey Steve,
My guess is you've got 3 or 4 text inputs? The problem seems to be that you
don't have enough inputs (text or other) to over-fill a screen so Android
doesn't think it should scroll. Then, when one of the top inputs is
selected the keyboard covers the bottom. If you have more inputs than fit
on a screen, the scrolling still works above the keyboard.
However, if you hit the 'back' button when the keyboard is up, the keyboard
should get dismissed and reveal your hidden text inputs. Then you should be
able to select the input and it will get moved above the soft-keyboard when
it pops up. I tested both of the above with Swype on my phone and it worked
as expected.
I think I remember reading something about manually handling screen size
changes (like when the keyboard pops ups), so I'll look into it and see if I
can force enable the scrolling.
