Hi all,
I'm a new developer working with SEL at Columbia, just starting to get my
feet wet with ODK and the related toolset.
I've begun work on an external app that aims to streamline the collection
of general Facility information, and was very happy to find the new
enhanced external app functionality! The initial tests I've done worked
well, but I've got a few questions:
-
I need to use a field-list group to populate multiple fields from the
external app. Is there a way to define the intent attribute (or custom
attributes in general) via XLSForm? Or at the moment does this need to be
done manually in the XML?
-
When the component specified by the intent isn't found on the device,
the message says to enter the data manually. With the field-list group, the
fields don't seem to be editable... am I missing something?
-
In the source code for ExStringWidgethttps://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/src/org/odk/collect/android/widgets/ExStringWidget.java?repo=collect,
it indicates that the text of the "Launch" button can be changed
via jr:itext()... this doesn't seem to work for the field-list group,
correct?
Thanks!
Jon
(1) I don't think so (there are a number of extra attributes that are not
able to be specified in XLSFrom -- e.g., accuracyThreshold)
(2) probably an oversight; not surprised, given the complexity of the
change.
(3) again, probably an oversight.
Fixes for these issues are welcome. They are edge cases that are unlikely
to be fixed by the core team.

someone wants to take a crack at them.
