I am using the Android App Callout to test using intents
I am struggling with the syntax and could do with a hand.
I am using the build in alarm as an example.
Intent ID: android.intent.action.SET_ALARM
Extra
android.intent.extra.alarm.MESSAGE Wakey Wakey
android.intent.extra.alarm.HOUR 12
android.intent.extra.alarm.MINUTES 23
The app wont install as soon as I add the Extras.
I have tried just the shortened MESSAGE, HOUR and MINUTES.
Would it be possible to have a simple example of the correct syntax for
Intents including the Response using one of the Standard Android intents
and to another App?
Form builder expects the values to be paths to data rather than hard coded
values. So, these either need to be the paths to a question or, more
likely, a hidden value with a calculate expression of the proper value.
For example, your extra key might be:
android.intent.extra.alarm.MESSAGE
And the value would be:
/data/hidden_value_1
With hidden_value_1 having the calculate expression 'Wakey Wakey'
I can see our documentation isn't clear enough on that point and I'll fix
that shortly - sorry about that.
Thanks,
Will

where /data/HiddenIntVar1 and /data/HiddenIntVar2 are populated from the

I am struggling on the response:

I have now got the Called App to return a string to another dummy program.
So now launches the program, scans the value and responds with a single
string.
When I launch with CommCare ODK the program, scans the value and then
crashes ODK with the following message:
08-22 10:03:18.735: E/AndroidRuntime(13771): java.lang.RuntimeException:
Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null, request=10, result=-1,
data=Intent { (has extras) }} to activity
{org.xxxxx.demolog/org.odk.collect.android.activities.FormEntryActivity}:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Here is the code
Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
resultIntent.putExtra("BarCodes", single_barcode);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);
finish();
In Commcare
Response BarCodes > /data/returnData
Am I missing something? Anyone else had some experience of this?
Much thanks in advance

CommCareODK actually expects either a single string value with key
odk_intent_data and a value that that question will be set to and/or a
Bundle called odk_intent_bundle with a set of key-value pairs, as specified
at the bottom of this page https://bitbucket.org/commcare/commcare-odk/wiki/ODKActivityCallout. So
your code here will actually look like:
Intent resultIntent = new Intent();Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("BarCodes",single_barcode);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);
finish();

Sorry about the somewhat confusing behavior in this regard.
It's not extremely common for applications to maintain a callout contract
that is tremendously generic in some regards, and we didn't want to force
collisions through people's standard app callouts. This behavior is
currently functional but still something we're open to adapting. If you
have comments on how you'd like the intent callout structure to work, feel
free to either email here or make comments on our wiki at
Thanks!

I got there in the end with Will's patience and help.
The Response was held in this code
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// Bundle
Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
// "CommCareResponse1" can be any name you choose and is used to catch the
repsonse in CommCare
extras.putString("CommCareResponse1", programVariable1);
extras.putString("CommCareResponse2", programVariable1);
resultIntent.putExtra("odk_intent_bundle", extras);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);
finish();
super.onBackPressed();
}
Clayton, I think clearer step by step examples would have helped me a lot.
As this is passing between programs, it takes a little time to ensure that
both the send and receive work in both CommCare and the created app.
I also expected to be able to get response from any program api not just
ones I can code myself. Not that much of an issue in this case but would be
if we wanted to interface with other mainstream programs.
The last little thing is naming the button. It would be useful to be able
to modify this through your interface.
For the record, it is working now and we have a real barcode scanner
grabbing 1D barcodes in a split second on a rugged handset

You should be able to translate the text of the button globally for the app
currently. You can use the locale key:

Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
extras.putString("BarCodes",single_barcode);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);
finish();
I have now got the Called App to return a string to another dummy
program. So now launches the program, scans the value and responds with a
single string.
When I launch with CommCare ODK the program, scans the value and then
crashes ODK with the following message:
08-22 10:03:18.735: E/AndroidRuntime(13771):
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result ResultInfo{who=null,
request=10, result=-1, data=Intent { (has extras) }} to activity
{org.xxxxx.demolog/org.odk.collect.android.activities.FormEntryActivity}:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Here is the code
Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
resultIntent.putExtra("BarCodes", single_barcode);
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultIntent);
finish();
In Commcare
Response BarCodes > /data/returnData
Am I missing something? Anyone else had some experience of this?
Much thanks in advance

Hi
With Will's advice I have now got the following working:
where /data/HiddenIntVar1 and /data/HiddenIntVar2 are populated from
the form.
I am struggling on the response:
ResponseVariable1 > /data/HiddenResVar1
Am I missing something?
Best

Hi,
I am using the Android App Callout to test using intents
I am struggling with the syntax and could do with a hand.
I am using the build in alarm as an example.
Intent ID: android.intent.action.SET_ALARM
Extra
android.intent.extra.alarm.MESSAGE Wakey Wakey
android.intent.extra.alarm.HOUR 12
android.intent.extra.alarm.MINUTES 23
The app wont install as soon as I add the Extras.
I have tried just the shortened MESSAGE, HOUR and MINUTES.
Would it be possible to have a simple example of the correct syntax
for Intents including the Response using one of the Standard Android
intents and to another App?
