Using virtual devices with AppStudio AppStudio for ArcGIS 1.3 has brand-new integrated support for virtual devices, i.e. the capability to use iOS simulators and Android emulators. These are intended for rapid development and testing your apps without the need of having multiple phones and tablets with different versions of operating systems at hand. The iOS simulator is only available on the AppStudio desktop for Mac, whereas the Android emulator is available for Windows, Linux and Mac. To leverage the use of virtual devices you do need to install some development tools on your desktop. This new feature also allows you to physically connect an Android device to your desktop and synchronize your desktop apps to aid rapid development. For more information on setting up virtual device usage in AppStudio see our documentation. Getting started with iOS Simulators (Mac) The iOS simulator is installed as a part of XCode. To start using the simulator device images you must first install XCode and command line tools 7.0+ from https://developer.apple.com/download/ (You don’t need an Apple Developer License to perform this action). The simulator allows you to test apps with several SDK versions and operating systems. You can download additional simulator device images within XCode, open XCode and select Menu > XCode > Preferences > Select Components After installing XCode, you can view a list of simulated devices when you click on the Virtual Device icon in AppStudio. Getting started with Android Emulator (Windows, Linux & Mac) To get started with the Android emulated environment, first you need to install Android Studio from https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html and create x86 device images from Android Virtual Device (AVD) https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds.html Tip: For existing AppStudio customers you might have realized that now AppStudio supports Android x86 as a target platform. Though most of the physical Android devices out in the market are based on arm7, the emulator world is dominated by a much faster x86 version. Points to remember while creating AVD images: Enable software rendering, otherwise AppStudio Player will not run. This slows the emulator down considerably, so setup the virtual device beforehand. Due to OpenGL limitations, set the minimum API support level to 23. Player will not run on any lower API level in emulation. Click on the Virtual Device icon to see your Android emulator devices. Select a device and whilst the emulator loads your device, apply sync, the AppStudio Player on an emulator doesn’t pick up the latest changes unless you have instructed it to do so. Connected Android devices AppStudio provides an additional feature for Android users. You can now run an app on a physical device directly using AppStudio’s Virtual Device interface. On a physical Android device, you can always install AppStudio Player and download all apps that is available and shared via the organization. This is a developer friendly way to sync all your apps from AppStudio which is the same as the sync function on an emulator. This saves you a bit of time in uploading your app and then downloading it again in the Player. To enable this feature: Enable developer mode on your Android device Enable USB debugging under Developer Options Ensure that your Android device needs to be on the same Wi-Fi network as AppStudio Desktop Connect your device via USB to your machine Click on Virtual Device in AppStudio Desktop and select your device

Keith, Yes, there is a way to recover your data in the event you can't send it. Refer to this help page: Troubleshoot—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

Hi Philip, This is likely a result of the way Survey123 handles empty values in questions starting in 1.9. The handling is described in full here: Formulas—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS But in short, your calculation won't produce a result until there are values present for all fields being used. The easiest way to fix this would be to give each field a default value of 0.

Hi Tony, Yes, the spinner appearance not honoring constraints is a known issue that we're currently working on resolving. Thankyou for calling attention to it.

Hi Jake, There are long-standing known issues using required fields in repeats. We hope to fix them in a release in the near future.

Hi Weng, You can change the default basemap for a survey in the Settings > Map screen in Survey123 Connect. Whichever basemap is selected here will be the default basemap for that survey in the Survey123 app. That list defaults to the World Street Map that you'd be familiar with as the default. To my knowledge, there isn't a way to change the default of this selection in Survey123 Connect.

Hi Brandon, The easiest (and admittedly obvious!) way to check this is to download the Survey123 sample itself and check, in the same location you would in Survey123 itself. To save you the trouble of checking immediately, the version available there right now is 1.6. This sample is usually updated as part of the Survey123 release cycle, and so would be the same version you can get standalone, but the Survey123 1.7 update that came out this month relies on an update to the AppStudio framework that isn't in 1.2. So giving you the 1.7 update would leave you unable to work it!

Hi James, Currently, geopoint questions don't actually support these values. Z-axis support previously present for them was buggy and removed some time ago, and while geopoints do have awareness of accuracy (mostly used in averaging points) it doesn't take down any accuracy values. Geopoint questions only provide lat and long, although this may change in the future.

In that case, this would be a known issue that's currently being worked on. The problem is that essentially Survey123 is attempting to pass a token to a service that doesn't need it, and instead of recognizing that isn't necessary the application notices the token it's passing is invalid.

Hi Pablo, This error is typically caused by the publishing account of the survey not having access to the feature service you're trying to link it to. Can you check if you have access to it in other ways? In my experience, the easiest way to do so is to try to navigate to that submission URL in a web browser and seeing if it lets you see anything.

‎08-11-2016

Can you define 'fail', exactly? Survey123 has an outbox where surveys are kept when the user can't send the survey due to being offline, and they'll stay there until they're sent. I think you want more than that, though.

It's not yet possible to convert a web survey into being used by the apps, but it's being worked on for future updates.

What I think works for what you're talking about is to have several select multiple questions, each one only appearing based on the first question's answer, using relevant expressions. (i.e. one question for if you select SFD, one for APT, one for MH) Then I would have each select one question be pulling from a cascading select, based on the answer to the second question. Cascading and external selects—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS To my knowledge there isn't a way to have a relevant expression call on two answers at the same time (although I haven't checked if relevant expressions support 'and' statements), but in your case it wouldn't be necessary, a cascading select would do the job very well. There's one in the sample surveys if you need to see it in action.

You can choose to send your survey later after completing it, which will transfer it to an outbox--and it will do that automatically if your device doesn't have an internet connection. I just checked how Survey123 handles disconnecting while sending data, and the app does hang until you shut it down. But the survey it failed to send goes to the outbox, and can be sent from there when you reopen the app.

There's already a page for it in the Troubleshoot section of AppStudio's help, yes. Hopefully it gives you what you need to operate it. Capture console output—AppStudio for ArcGIS (Desktop Edition) | ArcGIS
