Are these possible? I don't see anything about it on the examples page. Has
any thought been given to adding them? Or if they're possible, what is the
correct xml?
I like to keep option titles short for reporting purposes, but sometimes a
little extra explanation is needed.
Thanks!
Hey guys, never got a response on this one. Hints for select options? Yea
or nay?

Seems like a reasonable idea to me. I don't know if this XForms-y
enough, but I'd imagine it'd look like this...
branch prompt
This is the branch prompt
yes
Select this for yes
y
no
Select this for no
n

Correct. You'll have to add it to the core...

Actually, it is a really just a rendering issue in ODK Collect 1.x.
For example, in the SelectMultiWidget,
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/src/org/odk/collect/android/widgets/SelectMultiWidget.java?repo=collect#102
There are:
String audioURI = null;
audioURI =
prompt.getSpecialFormSelectChoiceText(mItems.get(i),
FormEntryCaption.TEXT_FORM_AUDIO);
You would just add a:
String hintText = null;
hintText =
prompt.getSpecialFormSelectChoiceText(mItems.get(i),
"hint");
And then update the source to render the hintText if it is non-null.
It is an easy change; if you want to provide a patch, we can fold it into
the main branch when time permits.
