Installation

Download the APK

First, download the latest APK from the Releases page. Then, install it on your Android device.

Install on Device

  • Make sure you have adb installed on your computer.
  • Enable developer mode on the device.
  • Connect the device to your computer via USB.
  • When the device is recognized, allow debugging access.
  • Then run:

    adb install <path-to-apk>
    

Initial Setup

Open the app once to create the necessary storage directories.

To run a test, you need to put a playlist file (with the videos to be rated) and the actual videos onto the device. See Config Files for details.

Running the App Once is Important

The app creates necessary storage directories on first run. If you copy files to the device before running the app once, the app may not work correctly.

Quick Test with Sample Files

For a quick start, you can use the provided sample files:

# First, open the app on your device to create storage directories
# Then push the example files:
cd examples
./push_to_device.sh

Now, in the app, enter a valid subject ID (1 through 5), and run a test. It will show the videos, ask for a rating, and then finish.

The example files demonstrate different configuration options:

Subject ID Format Features
1 JSON Basic ACR rating with a timed break
2 JSON Continuous (slider) rating method
3 JSON ACR with custom start/finish messages
4 CFG Legacy format with training section, custom messages, break
5 JSON Full-featured: training, pre/post questionnaires, custom messages

To create your own test files, see the Config Files guide.
