RFID Capabilites

Is ODK able to work with RFID tags? We are trying to use RFID tags for a
survey and wanted to know if ODK was able to handle this technology. Also
if anyone has had experience with Android phones that have RFID
capabilities that would be greatly appreciated as well.

ODK can get data from multiple sources such as a camera, barcode
scanner, gps, and also any independent application that responds to an
intent that runs on the Android. The only limitation is that ODK 1.0
can only deal with one value coming back from the intent. Note you can
have a string and encode multiple values inside that string but it
will be stored as one DB column. ODK 2.0 will solve this issue.

For examples see the "Examples" page on the ODK website:
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/

Specifically
String from a 3rd party app
Integer from a 3rd party app
Decimal from a 3rd party app

Therefore the answer is yes ODK can work with RFID tags provided that
you have an Android app that can respond with a value. For further
details it is best to have that conversation on the
opendatakit-developers list.

Cheers,
Waylon
