How do i connect my KoBoCollect android app (mobile) to my KoBoToolbox server?

Hi @masdar,

You could do the following to connect your KoBoCollect android app with your self hosted KoBoToolbox server:

  • Configure your KoBoCollect android app’s General Settings>Server configuration as outlined in the post discussed previously (but please note that this is an example illustrated for an HHI server, hence the URL should not work for your case):
  • You could follow the procedure outlined below to identify the URL from your self hosted KoBoToolbox server:
  1. Once you have deployed your survey from a self hosted KoBoToolbox server, click the highlighted area that you should see from your self hosted KoBoToolbox:

  2. Then select Android application.

  3. Copy the URL in your KoBoCollect android app that you see from your self hosted KoBoToolbox server (which should be different from the one that you are seeing here):

As a backup you could also have a look at our support article Collecting Data with KoBoCollect on Android.

Have a great day!
