[mobile-devel] And Bible version 0.0.14 is available

[Kenneth Arnold]

I often use Back as Exit -- but _only_ for activities that were launched
from another activity, like bringing up a map from an email address. So if
there was ever a "Bible URL" handler, Back should exit the activity. But for
the current functionality, the current behavior is exactly what I expect.

The analogy Google seems to be aiming for is a simplified version of tabs in
a web browser; Back in a tab with no history closes the tab.

Thanks Martin! btw, I haven't been using AndBible much myself because I'm
mainly following a reading plan, and it's easier to pull up the webpage for
that. But that would quickly change if AndBible had reading plans :) [I'd
code this myself except that I have no time until at least January.]
