I have downloaded the .jar file and converted it to .zip I'm now trying to
'Extract the contents of the JAR file (you can open it as a Zip) into the
following folder structure: Android\data\org.commcare.dalvik\files\bi'
which I am translating as 'save the contents of the .jar file on to the SD
card following the folder structure...' The problem is that on my SD card
I can only follow the structure as far as files - there is no bi folder.
Should I create this or should it be there?
Just to say I think that I have now made this work. Thanks anyway!

If the CommCareODK client from the play store is already installed on your
phone then at least the Android\data\org.commcare.dalvik\file folder should
be there. I think you need to create the "bi" folder. Then you can just
copy your "bi" folder with the unzipped JAR file contents into the
Android\data\org.commcare.dalvik\file
folder and install.

Thanks Jeremy. I had installed the app but actually it seems that until
you open the app on the phone the files aren't there on the SD card - and
even then the bi file isn't so you do have to create this.
Think you are working with some of my colleagues in Nepal at the moment
