Setting up your environment

General instructions for setting up an ODK-X environment can be found at our Developer Environment Setup wiki page

Install Android Studio and the SDK.

This project depends on ODK-X's androidlibrary and androidcommon projects; their binaries will be downloaded automatically fom our maven repository during the build phase. If you wish to modify them yourself, you must clone them into the same parent directory as survey. Your directory structure should resemble the following:

    |-- odk-x

        |-- androidcommon

        |-- androidlibrary

        |-- survey

Note that this only applies if you are modifying the library projects. If you use the maven dependencies (the default option), the projects will not show up in your directory.

ODK-X Service MUST be installed on your device, whether by installing the APK or by cloning the project and deploying it. Tables also integrates well with ODK-X Survey, but is not required.

Now you should be ready to build.

Building the project

Open the Survey project in Android Studio. Select Build->Make Project to build the app.

Running

Be sure to install ODK-X Core onto your device before attempting to run Survey.
