If you check your code into the Google code repository, those of us
with development environments could monitor what you are doing and
provide suggestions before you do another full build. Of course,
you may not want to deal with all the "noise" that it would
generate.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your efforts,<br>

Some more observations:<br>
<br>
- It doesn't seem to remember what version or
book and chapter were
displayed the last time the program was run.
It always seems to start
with BBE at Genesis 1.<br>
<br>
- If I select a book of the Bible but cancel the
selection by hitting
the back arrow instead of selecting a chapter,
it goes ahead to that
book instead of going back to the book
selection.<br>
<br>
I know this is a work in progress, so I'm not
complaining, just
observing in case you weren't aware.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>1. I used Pocket e-sword for years
and tabs for bible/commentary
etc is the approach Pocket e-sword
used but it uses a whole row and I
found I normally just used 2 tabs
(bible & commentary) so I was
planning to initially have a
bible/commentary button on the main
menu
bar (as you suggest at the end of
point 1).</div>
<div>2. I have already switched to using
a standard menu on my own
local build after playing with Troy's
Bishop. I have only just got an
Android phone and never pressed the
Menu button!!!</div>
<div>3. I am not sure how to best fit
book/chapter nav on one screen.
I initially tried and failed to copy
Pocket e-sword's nav, but list
items are so big on the Android I
have thought of putting the books
into a grid, but then that still
leaves up to 150 chapters. All ideas
appreciated. I am currently thinking
of 2 tabs - tab 1 containing a
grid of books and tab 2 a list of
chapters. Alternatively I could have
3 tabs
Document/BibleBook/BibleChapter. That
would also remove the
Document button from the menu.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Did you realise you can drop other
books from the CrossWire site
into the appropriate place under the
jsword dir on the sdcard and after
restarting AndBible you can view them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I need to select verses to enable
display of the correct
commentary verse associated with the
currently viewed bible passage and
I was considering auto verse
calculation based on the current
distance
scrolled down the ScrollView - that is
something I can play around with.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Last weekend I managed to increase
speed considerably by
bypassing some slow DOM creation code
- now I just need to work around
a couple of bugs but most
docs/chapters display fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am hoping my youngest daughter
will create a splash screen for
the app to distract users from the
slowish start up time. Also new
name "and-the-word" instead of
"AndBible". What do you think? It
obviously comes from John chapter 1.
I thought AndBible was a bit
obvious.</div>

it,
when I unzipped SdcardBibles it
placed the jsword in a
SdcardBibles

the sdcard and all is well.

<div>Thank you very much. This is
a very good start!</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My first suggestion is to
place tabs across the bottom
to
easily switch between text,
like Bible, commentary,
dictionary, and
etc.. Maybe this could be
done with the menu button?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second suggestion, move the
navigation buttons into a
menu assessable from the menu
button. This will free up
space for the
text.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Third suggestion, make
the navigation to a new book,
chapter,
and verse a table that fits
all on one screen so the user
doesn't have
to scroll. I have a lot more
suggestions to make about this
area.</div>

Hi SonWon,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry you had
problems. Error
handling in the app
needs to
be greatly improved
on. Did you unzip
SdcardBibles.zip to
your
mobile's sd card and
have you now got a
directory named
jsword in the
root of your sdcard?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To uninstall the
application you can
go to
Settings/Applications/Manage
applications/Bible/Uninstall.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards</div>

Excellent

Keep it up.<br>

at some
