Hi all,

Regarding a java-based sword backend for android phones:  another option is to start with jsword and get that to work with the j2me library (j2me is basically the java virtual machine that most mobile phones like androids and blackberries run). 

I've actually just started investigating that route as a way to develop a sword-based bible for blackberries.  I've gotten as far as building jsword in eclipse on my laptop and I'm currently in the process of trying to get it to build against the j2me libraries provided by blackberry.  If that works it should be trivial to build the same code against the android libraries. 

If anyone has tried this already or has experience with this I'd love to hear from you. 

Regards, 

Scott Bouma

Hello Troy,

Thank you for the readme. I learned a very important point out of it, 
that the Bishop is prepared as a C / C++ application! :) I like Android 
as finally I can program my phone the language "I speak". It is almost a 
decade since I've last seen C sources... Anyway, I will check it, how it 
works and constructed.

Do you have any idea, whether somebody created Java libs for the Sword 
project?

Thank again.

Gabor

Yes, sorry, the java-jni bindings purpose is to allow calling the SWORD
C++ engine from Android Java.  The java classes are here:

Hi All.

SlideBible  project  has passed a stage of initial synthesis and now I
think  it  is  possible  to  open  it  for  testing and hear the first
responses and wishes.

SlideBible  is  finger-oriented front-end for SWORD for Windows Mobile
devices.  It is no longer reader but not yet full-featured Bible study
application.        More        detail        on       wiki       page
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Frontends:SlideBible

There you can find links for downloading executable files for Windows
Mobile and Windows 32-bit, so you do not need Windows Mobile device to
test it and give feedback.

Also is it possible to open new project on Crosswire bug-tracker?

Blessings.

I'm impressed!!  The search speed is going to be amazing if this gets
implemented in the Sword engine.  It's just what is needed for the
various less able platforms now we are spawning versions for all kinds
of PDA's and phones.  I hope someone will take this up.

God bless,		Barry.
