DIAL ODK-X New Date Prompts For ODK-X Survey Proposal

ODK-X Survey is a data collection Android application, similar to ODK Collect. Users can create forms using XLSX spreadsheets and are then rendered to them on their mobile device. It is built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in replacement for native Android development. Forms are synchronized to a server and support various prompt types including but not limited to free text, numbers, geo-points, and audio.

Currently, the form accepts the date and DateTime prompts. The date prompt gets the date from the user using dropdown menus whilst the DateTime prompt gets the date and time in a similar manner.

The goal of this project is to include more prompt types including month only, year only, month and year only, and non-Gregorian calendars for users to choose from. The programming languages used to develop these include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The project also ensures that once implemented, these new prompt types are compatible with the ODK-X XLSX Converter. The new prompt types are then added to the converter’s documentation including how to make custom prompts.
