I am preparing for a forest monitoring project and am having a few
errors and questions. I am really excited about the capabilities and
give much gratitude for ODK! I am currently running an emulator 2.2
API 8. I don't have a lot of technical experience so I appreciate the
help.
On emulator, ODK collect is no longer connecting to my local
instance at http://localhost:8080.
Route: Open ODK Collect--> Menu: system preferences-->select http://localhost:8080 -->Manage Forms --> Get forms -->Error Message :
"Form listing failed. localhost/127.0.0.1.8080 connection refused.
I have been unable to upload an Xform I created in ODK build to
my .appspot aggregate instance
Route: --> Login to Appspot --> Upload form Choose RareSpecies.xml --
click upload -->Error Message: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing
Form:null
Is there a way I can get the emulator to record "fake" GPS
coordinates? It would be nice to test the system all the way through
form collection to visualization before I demo the capabilities to the
local forest communities. Also, I will be working in areas with dense
tree cover where the android GPS is likely to fail. Have you had any
feedback of users entering GPS manually into ODK collect or later in
Fusion tables?
Thank you,

With regards to 2) I solved the problem by viewing some older
community posts. It seems the javarosa parsing was a simple error on
my part, leaving an entry blank. Thank you

looks like you solved the second issue. my answers to the rest are inline.

i think manual entry of geo coordinates is likely to result in lots of
errors. you might consider a connecting higher quality gps with
bluetooth connectivity to odk collect. search the list for models that
others have tried.
