I'm building an application to monitor the state / usage of our health workers
: serial number of the phone they currently use, current versions of installed
software (CommCare obviously, but other like Barcode Reader for example),
usage of the SD Card, etc...
I wonder if anyone knows a way to retrieve these informations by querying the
system within CommCare ODK itself ? Things like :
Installed version of package com.example.application
Available Internal memory / SD Card storage used for Pictures / Videos, etc
I could ask the staff to manually check and enter these values, but it seems
more convenient to have them automatically filled as hidden values.
Many thanks,
···

Some of this info is available from CommCare, but unfortunately I imagine
that most of what you're looking to do (monitoring the overall state of the
phone/install situation) is going to be somewhat difficult from inside the
app.
