Cannot fill forms with "Range" questions

[Hamsterarsch]

I'm testing this version of Tella with an ODK server (eu.kobotoolbox.org) where I made a short form with 3 questions, one of them a range question (1-10).
Tested on two devices (Android version 13) e/OS and one with Samsung Stock OS.
I can connect to the server and the form shows up, forms without range based questions work.

Expected behavior

Be able to fill out a form containing a range based question after clicking on it or after using the breadcrumb menu to select "fill form".

Actual behavior

Nothing happens / the menu closes again. As far as I can tell, other features (audio recording, camera) work.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. On an ODK server (e.g. kobotoolbox) create a form with a range based question (1 to 10, step 1)
2. Connect to the ODK server with the form in tella
3. Try to fill the form in Tella

Additional information

I first thought this was a tella related bug because of e/OS before I tested on the second device. This might also be a kobotoolbox bug - let me know if I should crosspost this.

hi @Hamsterarsch thank you so much for writing to us! I'm Caro, a Product Manager for Tella.

Yes, you are correct, range questions are not supported in the ODK+Tella integration. We documented that here: https://tella-app.org/odk#supported-question-types.

We are coding new questions types based on User need, I'd love to undestand more about your usecase and explore potentially implement it, as a new feature!

Could you please write to me so we can discuss it? https://calendly.com/d/grp-5v7-rjf/tella-meeting

Thank you!!

small sneak peek. There were a few problems but more on that in the PR (coming soon™)

[carohadad]

OH WOW! Thank you so much for working on this!!

[Hamsterarsch]

@carohadad see #471 - apologies for the delay.

@Hamsterarsch thank you so much!!! our android developer @ahlem-jarrar will take a look at this next week :)

We are so excited and grateful for this contribution, this is going to be helpful for so many users!! <3

just one smal small detail. since you started working on the PR we did one big release (that shouldn't impact ODK!!) could you please update your local branch with the content of our development to simplify the merging? 🙏

thank youuu!!

@carohadad I already saw the changes to master and merged them into my feature so it should already be in there (hence the large amount of changed files). If the commits look strange it might be because I didn't start out with the repo from the fork but worked on a clone from tella master instead before retargeting origin to my fork.
If this is a problem I could make a fresh fork and reapply my changes.

[carohadad]

aah got it!! :) then i'll let @ahlem-jarrar answer about that :)

thank you again!
