I want to add a login page to ODK- Collect so that, when the application is
opened it will first display the login page. If you have an idea on this pls
share me.
thanks!

hi abdulkadir,

what is the higher level goal you are trying to accomplish?
identification? authentication? branding?

hello dear,

first thank you for your reply

It is just to authorize the users of the application.

you'll have to make code changes in collect.

add a login screen activity that verifies user/pass against collect's
shared preferences (where you'll set user/pass on first run). then
launch that before the main main activity. make sure you handle the
edge cases (rotations, screen offs, back button, etc) or your app
won't be very secure.

if you are looking for code samples, i think commcare-odk
(https://bitbucket.org/ctsims/commcare-odk/) has a login page that
auths against a server.
