Answer Options (Value Labels) Not Appearing on Android

Post by ftr »

Hello,

On CSEntry on the desktop, multiple choice (radio buttons) appear with the value labels. However, on Android, the enumerator is prompted to only enter the numeric code corresponding to the value label in a text box; they are unable to see the value labels. After the code is entered, the appropriate value label appears in the case tree. Any tips on how to get the value labels to appear with radio buttons on Android? I have tried switching the capture type to radio buttons or to drop down with no success.

Thank you!

It sounds like the version of the application on your Android device is not the same as the one you are running on Windows. Try opening the version of the application that works correctly on Windows, publishing the .pen file again and copying it to the Android device. Then close and reopen the application on Android and see if it works.

If that doesn't work post or send us your app so we can see what is going on.

Another possibility is that your program is using the old style of showing the value sets by doing something like this:
set attributes(DICTIONARY_NAME) assisted on;
That will show the radio buttons on Windows but not on Android. (This has been fixed for our upcoming CSPro 7.0 release.) You should change your program so that it uses "extended controls." These will be the same on WIndows and Android.
