Spike Integration help

Question

I just got my Spike device, created a feature service, created a form from it and configured the form for use with Spike. I had no problem getting a Distance measure using the spike question type.

But, I have been unsuccessful measuring areas with the spike-full-measure question type.

I tried using the sample survey form, let it create a service and then tried to measure areas, still no success.

I am not getting any errors, no measurements are populated in the Survey 123 form.

Is this a hardware/software/version issue?

Survey 123 v 3.0.134

Spike v. 1.7.7(1004)

Android v 6.0.1

Tablet: ASUS Model P00l

Also, I noticed the sample survey form has some calculations using this syntax in the json pulldata -

Spike.objects.1.dimensions.0

and some using this syntax

Spike.objects[1].dimensions

Do both of these work?

Also in the blog post - https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2018/03/06/using-spike-with-survey123-for-arcgis

The table describing standard tags populated by Spike has ImageDescription as imageDescription.

Sorry to throw all this out there.

Thanks!

that looks to be the issue. I do not see the ImageDescription in the EXIF information.

thanks!

The only issue would be if, for some reason, the Spike app is not able to write out the exif information into the image.  One thing to try would be to save an image from Spike and then examine the exif using a utility program.

I was just looking into that...

I have tried other devices and could not even install the Spike app, so when I was able to install the app and use it without any issues, I figured it would work with Survey 123. I didn't know how strict the list was.

I will have to find a device on the list and try it.

Thanks!
