The question is based on using the ODK Collect on an Android platform:
I am working with multiple choice questions type where the choices are being sourced from a .csv file. Thus far it is a standard ODK procedure, however, I want to include a string search option in the question due to the large number of options in the .csv. The string search is to reduce the number of choices the participant has to go through, and hence the search needs to be performed multiple times. What is the best way to go about this?
My thoughts so far: Work with the ODK Collect source code to "inject" a string search option into the respective activity windows.
You can use the search function in the "appearance column", and example is given below
where locationset is the name of csv file, and countryid is a column in the csv, 1 is the value that i want it to search I've attached an image of a form, to have a better idea. Hope this helps
