Find XML file in Android ODK/Open Data Kit-Collect app

I have build a test survey on http://build.opendatakit.org/, which I then exported to a XML-file.

I installed the app ODK Collect on my Android tablet, and used the app Terminal Emulator to put the XML-file on the tablet with:

sudo root
cd /sdcard/odk/forms
curl http://www.<domainname>.nl/surveys/Test.xml > Test.xml

So the XML-file is now in the forms folder of ODK Collect, but how can I open it now in ODK Collect?

I can't see it when I press the Get Blank Form button, how come?

Solution

  • The form should show up if you click "Fill Blank Form" i.e. this shows all available forms already on your device.

    "Get Blank Form" is used to download new forms from Aggregate i.e. it shows all forms you could potentially download, which would then show in "Fill Blank Form" if the forms download successfully.
