A method of displaying an electronic form on a mobile device having a screen and managed by an operating system comprises attaching a visual priority to one or more fields used in the electronic form; obtaining the current mobile device screen size; and adapting the number of fields to be displayed on the screen based on the screen size and on visual priority attached to one or more of the fields. In one implementation, a minimum width is set for each of the one or more fields, and the fields that can meet the minimum width based on the current mobile device screen size are displayed.
1. A method of displaying an electronic form on a mobile device, comprising:
providing a processor functionally coupled to a memory;
storing code in the memory;
executing with the processor the code to display on the mobile device one or more repeats comprised of one or more cells;
filling out at least one of the one or more cells with a value;
attaching a visual priority to the one or more cells used in the electronic form;
obtaining a display width of a screen of the mobile device;
detecting a change in viewing orientation; and
adapting a number of cells to be displayed based at least in part on the display width, a viewing orientation of the mobile device, and the visual priority attached to the one or more cells
