I'm reviving this thread to ask a related question----I'm playing with
CommCare on a Nexus 7 and it installs no problem and looks sharp and
beautiful. Only complaints, when I demonstrate to others: font size and the
way it's displayed on the screen (e.g. tiny text all scrunched up at the
top of the screen rather than scaled and more evenly distributed). On the
home screen, "settings" doesn't give me an option to change font size.
Is there a way to adjust this? If not, is automatic scaling in the works
for future CommCare versions?
Thanks,
Sarah

the Nexus 7 is regularly considered to be the best 7 inch tablet
currently available. Depending on your use case, the new OLPC XO Tablet
(though its already been delayed, and may not have a cellular radio)
is scheduled to come out in the US in mid-July (not sure when it will

actually makes the Nexus 7, so it more depends on the exact device rather

Hi Community!
I wanted to checkin on the prevailing experience on good tablets for
CommCare? We've used a few Galaxy Tab 10.1 here in SA previously, but we
know both the form factor (size) and operating system on that is rather
outdated. Has anyone tried out the Nexus 7 or other good candidates?
Thanks for asking! For CommCareODK, you can adjust the font size using the
"in-form" Settings menu, just access the Settings menu while in a form.
However, that font size selected applies to the other forms as well.
Thanks,

A-ha, thanks. I didn't realize that 'in-form' settings were different than
the home screen settings.
