[ODK Community] Web link for form

Unfortunately, not at this time, so this would be a code change.

The default server name is stored in the string translations files
(res/values/strings.xml and res/values-**/strings.xml) as the
'default_server_url'.

You can bundle additional files with your app when you publish on Google
Play. If someone wrote code that would consider such a file a
preferences-configuration file, and set the app preferences based upon its
values, we would gladly accept the contribution.

Hi

I'm using ODK to design a form for mapping large and rare trees in the
Caribbean. Ideally we would like people to be able to download the form
from our website and map trees independently. Are we able to do that
without them having to alter the server address manually (eg. can they
download the app with our server already put in?)

Thank you

There is a potentially simpler alternative. If your users can manually
download the form XML from your site and add it to the SD card of
their device, then you can use the form specific submission
destination.

In the form, you specify a tag between the instance and the bind. Like so...

Then when that form is submitted, ODK Collect should ignore whatever
default server they have in the app. As a bonus, you can also
configure that form to have a custom logo.
