ODK Collect is an Android app for filling out forms. It is designed to be used in resource-constrained environments with challenges such as unreliable connectivity or power infrastructure. ODK Collect 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.

Download and install Android Studio
-
Fork the collect project (why and how to fork)
-
Clone your fork of the project locally. At the command line:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME/collect
If you prefer not to use the command line, you can use Android Studio to create a new project from version control using https://github.com/YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME/collect.
- Open the project in the folder of your clone from Android Studio. To run the project, click on the green arrow at the top of the screen. The emulator is very slow so we generally recommend using a physical device when possible.
