New to ODK + A few Questions

Hello Open Data Kit Community!

My name is Elyse Voegeli and I work on an academic research team at Tufts
University in Boston, MA, USA. We're very excited to be using ODK for our
data collections!

I've done some initial testing with ODK and our specific needs, and
everything seems to match well. There are a few custom things that I've
tried to find answers to online, but have been unable to do so. I was
wondering if anyone could help me out?

  1. Displaying answers in a row rather than a column. This is the horizontal
    appearance property for web- is there a way to do this for android, or some
    equivalent work around?

  2. Is there a way to affect the width property of a table? Right now, the
    answers are squished together and the questions have too much space- I'd
    like to make the question width smaller. Here's a screenshot:

  1. Is there a way to display answers in more than one column? For example,
    right now I have:

January
February
March
April
May
June

But would like to have:

January February
March April
May June

Thanks to anyone who can help out. I'm really looking forward to becoming
a member of the ODK community as my research team moves forward with the
launch of our data collection in November!

Cheers-

(1) no

(2) for more control over the layout, you can create an image containing
the text with the exact word wrapping you want, then use that as the image
for the label.

(3) no

In general, ODK Collect does not offer much control over the layout of the
question text / widgets.

The new 2.0 tools give you full control, but those are not yet released.
