How to add a widget?

HI there,

I got started with ODK Build and have a reasonable form going. They I
noticed that there were additional widgets on offer - and am now wondering
if there is any documentation as to how to properly add those? I took the
xml from build and tried to do it manually for the Trigger widget:

<h:body>

acknowledge widget
need to push button

</h:body>

From what I could see, there are three parts to the xml: the instance, the
bind and the body. I inserted the parts of the widget xml into those spots
and ten tried to upload a new form directly into Aggregate - to get the
dreaded form of death:

AppEngine Application Problem

A problem has occurred that prevents your AppEngine application from
responding.

So - is there any instruction for doing this, of can anyone point me in the
right direction for properly adding a widget?
Thanks

Allister,

Either use a more advanced form designer
http://opendatakit.org/use/xlsform/ or use the manual form design
guide at http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design. Also, before you
upload the form, make sure you validate it with
http://opendatakit.org/use/validate.
