Each form already generates an instanceID. It's not particularly human
friendly, but you can show it to the user as the last prompt of the
form. Easiest way to do this is to have a prompt with the type "note".
Then in the label, put something like "Your instanceID is
${instanceID}".

You can try using a calculate field with "position(..)" as the calculation
expression. See https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=822for an issue
where position(..) would give an error during form validation;
I think that this is fixed now in the latest ODK Collect release.
Best,
