[jsword-devel] API Example

[DM Smith]

  You are very close, though I don't know why you are having a timeout 
issue.

It looks like there are a couple of things going on. I suggest trying to 
separate them.
What platform are you developing for? Unix/Linux, Windows, Mac or 
something else? If something else, that might be a problem to solve. 
This helps find the default location for mods.d and modules folder. (The 
example code does not allow for anything but default preferences.)

It should be located at:
      OSType.getOSType().getUserAreaFolder(".sword", "Sword").
Make sure that directory exists and that the conf and the module's files 
are appropriately under there in mods.d and modules respectively.


Try to separate the installer from doing a lookup. That way you isolate 
whether the problem is installing or if it is in doing a lookup.

Without the installer you can do the following to find a book:
     Book book = Books.installed().getBook("KJV"); // or what ever 
"initials" you want to use.

To do a lookup in that book (just as you have done):
         Key key = book.getKey("Gen 1:1");
         BookData data = new BookData(book, key);
         String text = OSISUtil.getCanonicalText(data.getOsisFragment());

Regarding deleting:
The call to Books.installed().remove(book); is unnecessary. The comment 
is correct: doing that will make the book not be visible during the 
current process. Run it again and it will be visible.

The second call, book.getDriver().delete(book), should delete the conf 
and all the files in the module. It won't delete the index.

To delete the index, if present, you'll need to do:
     IndexManager imanager = IndexManagerFactory.getIndexManager();
     if (imanager.isIndexed(book)) {
         imanager.deleteIndex(book);
     }

Let me know if this works.

In Him,
     DM
