Using different camera app

Support
1

Hi,
I'm using the odk-formhub (amazing!) to collect field data based on
Android cellulars.

I would like to use a different camera app (GeoCam) so i'll know in what direction the surveyor is looking at.
(Because he might sample an address and it's difficult to know which building he means)

How can i direct ODK to open specific app for this function?

Thanks!
Noam

Noam,

When you try to take a picture in ODK Collect, we send out an Intent
for "android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE" to the Android
operating system. Any apps that listen for that Intent will respond.
If you want to use GeoCam, ask the developer to support that standard
intent.

Alternatively, wait for ODK Collect 1.4.3 to ship. It has support for
a compass widget.
