Advancing questions with a click

Support

Hi all,
Love the discussions - learning a lot!

Quick question - is there any way to make a question advance by clicking a
button on the phone or the screen rather than swiping? I'm going to be using
ODK for self-administered questionnaires amongst South African teenagers,
and the swiping can be confusing, especially on phones with small screens
(e.g. T Mobile Pulse) and especially on number or string questions. Is there
a line of code I could add to the XML to get the survey to advance with
clicks rather than swipes?

Thanks,
Zak

Hey Zak,
If you press alt+arrow(left or right) it'll advance forward or back on
devices with keyboards. Swiping is the only way to navigate devices without
keyboards; we didn't add buttons directly to the screen because they take up
a lot of real estate. If you want to change which buttons navigate you'll
have to modify the java code directly. The relevant method is onKeyDown()
in FormEntryActivity.java.
