ODK Validate is part of Open Data Kit (ODK), a free and open-source set of tools which help organizations author, field, and manage mobile data collection solutions. Learn more about the Open Data Kit project and its history here and read about example ODK deployments here.

Setting up your development environment

  1. Fork the validate project (why and how to fork)

  2. Clone your fork of the project locally. At the command line:

     git clone https://github.com/YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME/validate
    

We recommend using IntelliJ IDEA for development. On the welcome screen, click Import Project, navigate to your validate folder, and select the build.gradle file. Use the defaults through the wizard. Once the project is imported, IntelliJ may ask you to update your remote maven repositories. Follow the instructions to do so.

The main class is org.opendatakit.validate.FormValidator.

Running the project

To run the project, use the run Gradle task. To package a runnable jar, use the jar Gradle task.
