[mobile-devel] AndBible 2.00 enhancements

[Martin Denham]

Hi Michael,

These are good ideas.

*New Passage*
I think that eventually there will be a link to change passage from the top
toolbar.  It has been requested before but I tend to work in isolated areas
between releases.

*Verse Nav*
Again a popular request.  I have a theory that some people (theological
students?) go direct to verses whereas people like me normall go to a
chapter, read it and then got to the next chapter.  So my plan is to have a
Verse/Chapter nav Option setting because I think some people will nearly
always go to a verse and some nearly always to a chapter.  What do you think
of my theory?  The alternative would be to allow some sort of easy/quick way
of switching modes between verse/chapter nav.

*Find Next*
There is an And Bible issue on this exact subject but I have not yet thought
how it would integrate within the ui.  Any ideas?  A history of search
strings should also be possible - well atleast the last one entered.

Best wishes
Martin
