Customizing ODK Form

Support
1

Where can I find instructions on how to customize the ODK Form itself?

Do you need to revise the binary to do this?

Thanks.

Hello and thanks to the quick response.

I just scanned that URL you posted and didn't see the instructions to do
this. I mean to replace the logos and the text strings at the top of the
app for the project, if that's allowed and not just create the survey forms.

Thanks.

To replace the strings in ODK Collect, you have to download the
source, change them and rebuild the app.
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/res/values/strings.xml?repo=collect

The icon for the app can be changed as well in the source.
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/AndroidManifest.xml?repo=collect#38

To add a form splash screen (replaces the swipe image when you load a
form), add the image as "form_logo.png" in your [formname]-media
directory.

To change the application splash screen, change it in the application
preferences.

Hi, just curious: what's a form splash screen? I can seem to find any after adding the .png

We had such a view that was visible after opening a form:
image
but we got rid of it long time ago (over two years ago as I remember).
