Can't open form on KoBo Collect

[Xavier Roy]

Hi Kobo users!

I'm working with a research group on habits of classical music attendance based in Montreal, and I would love to use the KoBoToolBox to gather data. I've designed a KoBoForm and I've saved the .xml file to the SD Card of my Android device (Lenovo Yoga 10 tablet).

However, when I try to load the form on KoBoCollect, I get this message: "Protocol not found: /formListwhile accessing/formList. Could you help me with this... I feel it's the last step before being able to collect data on your amazing software!

Thanks a lot,

Xavier

Hi Aloo,

I receive an error message when I try to upload it... even to this email. Here it is: "The uploaded file DPMQ - TEST of type application/octet-stream is not allowed."

I saved my form in .xml file using Fraise and Serna, since I'm on Mac. I couldn't save it as a file from Kobo because I got an "Operation not permitted" message.

Thanks a lot,

Xavier

Hi within the browser for design,  open the form text to and copy the text. You can paste the text within the mail.

Salut Xavier

Please find attached the xml file. You need to save it within you ODK/forms folder of your phone to test it. 

The problem was that you needed to get the text like you did, then using notepad++ you would paste it, change language to xml, and save as desired

Bonjour Aloo,

Thanks so much. I'm gonna try it tonight.

Have a great day,

Xavier

Hi Aloo,

It seems like it doesn't work either. I think the problem is not the file itself, but the way I transfer it to the tablet. I've mounted the SD card of the tablet and I can easily transfer files via USB from my Mac to the tablet hard drive or the SD card.

I transferred the file in the odk/forms folder of my tablet, and still I get the same error message. Same thing when I transfer it to the odk folder that I copied on my SD card...

Thanks,

Xavier

Hi Xavier

Given the scenario, I would point it out to a hardware issue either with you phone or how your Mac copies it. Kindly indicate which brand of phone you using. In the meantime I would like to recommend the following for different tests.

Option 1:

1. Uninstall KOBO Collect from your phone.

2. Go to the folder manager in your phone and delete the entire folder of odk

3. Restart the phone

4. Install KOBO Collect afresh

5. Download the xml to your phone and ensure that you don't open it in an editor like work since this will change the extension of the form i.e. (.xml will be changed to something else). Simply download, then using your file manager on your phone, copy the xml to the odk/forms folder.

Earlier about 2 to 3 years ago I experienced similar problems where I edited in a word processor and it kept changing the extension; it is always recommended to use notepad++. We also had instances where an error message was cached to the phone and no matter how many times we tried loading a new form to the phone, it gave the same error; re-installation worked for me.

PS. The form works well on my side.

Best Regards
