iPad/iPhone: Form filling application pointers

Question

Folks, I am starting work on an iPad/iPhone application that is essentially a form-filing UI. The requirement is to present a (rather large) form to the user. The form is composed of sections and questions, like so:

• Form
  • Question 0.1
  • Question 0.2
  • Section 1
  • Question 1.1

etc.

The user can take various paths down the form based on answers to questions.

I would like to architect this by defining a declarative markup that can be used to author the form questionnaire including traversal rules.

My questions are:

• Can anyone recommend a markup/language that would satisfy the declaration requirement?
• Is there any existing library that would ease the implementation as described above?

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

Hello, i dont have an answer to your question, but i would be interested in the solution. We're in the process of applying for a grant for some research that will include some on-site social psychological surveys, so i'm looking for application that can be ipad based that would allow us to do this - my search led me to your post. I'm wondering if we could use Bento, there are a couple of Poll type apps out there, but we'll need quite a lot of flexibility in terms of the types of answers.

Let me know how you get on.
