Hi Friends,
I am trying to add images as options for select one/multiple questions. I
know, I can display an image next to the check box or radio button;
however, I do not want the radio buttons, instead, I would like the images
to work as a select option. I found some examples on ODK website, which is
for XML, but how do I program that on xls form?
Thanks,
Imran
Hi Imran,
You can use a select_one with an appearance of compact. If you want to
force n columns, use compact-n. Then in your choices sheet, add an
image column with the name of the image file (e.g., red.png). Those
media files need to be uploaded with the form or put in
/sdcard/odk/formName-media/.
I've attached an example form (grid.xls) with a few images
({red,orange,blue}.png) and a screenshot (screenshot.png).
If you want to find out more, see http://xlsform.org/#appearance and
http://xlsform.org/ref-table.

Dear Yaw,
Thanks a lot, it was such a helpful example and I have successfully
completed coding my new form.

Hi @yanokwa,
I've just used your template to successfully add an image selection question to my survey, so thanks are extended a full year after you posted your answer here.
i have noticed one difference between your XLSForm and my own which I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on.
A closed round bracket, (), is written to the relevant cell after exporting the file from Build. Furthermore when trying to convert the XLSForm into a XForm the converter identifies this as an error so the brackets need removing before conversion can successfully proceed.
While this is not a dealbraker it comes alongide some other strange transpositions occurring when exporting XLSForms about which I have an open post that is being looked at by @Grzesiek2010.
Is there any legimate operation which closed round brackets fulfill when inserted into a relevant cell?
No. I think this is just a remnant of the ODK Build export. @issa this feels like a bug in Build. Agreed?
Thanks for the reply. In that case @issa should also know the brackets are written to the relevant cell with type:image question..
