ODK form actions on device

Support
1

Hi Everyone

Ive got some generic questions about ODK Forms and the interaction that can be built into form value/button selection, particularly with performing actions on the device, or passing values from the form somewhere else.

The examples I have given are not the problems I am trying to solve, I have just given them as examples to exemplify what I am asking.

  1. Can ODK be programmed to start from an action on another application? eg: If i build a button inside my camera application, can i config this button to start ODK when i press it?

  2. Can an ODK form be selected, based on the input another application AND can fields in the form be populated based on values sent from another application?
    eg: If I have a contact in my contacts list, can I configure a menu item to load ODK,

  3. Can a button on an ODK Form drive other actions on the tablet? Eg: On my form, can I have a 'go to gmail' button which will load my gmail.

  4. As an extension of option 3, Can ODK data values be sent to another application when an action is selected? Eg: When i press my 'Go To Gmail' button, Gmail loads and has the form values populated into free text on the email.

  5. Can ODK have conditional buttons/actions inside a form? eg: On Screen 1, if Option A is selected to be true, then the form screen will navigate to Screen 2, else if Option A is selected to be false, the form will Navigate to end screen.

Thanks everyone in advance.

Regards

Nathan

Please only send questions to one list. It is very very annoying to have
the same question splattered across both.
