Hi SonWon,<div><br></div><div>BackButton - yes some people will prefer back to exit but not always it is a tricky choice</div><div><br></div><div>Bible button - A list of books is available via the Menu button. I thought about the quick change buttons for a while and I like to think of them as super-tabs. Many bible apps use tabs to switch between bible, commentary and dictionary, well the buttons allow that but also if you are viewing a bible you can change to the next. I also did not want to use any more space so I did not add a menu bar at the bottom but had to enlarge the top bar by 3 pixels to make the buttons hittable. Incidentally, the idea for a button in the title bar came from the Android gmail app. I expect these buttons may be change in the future and may gain some customisability, but I wanted to make a simple start to a basic action bar. Any way, I like them.</div>
<div><br></div><div>TSK - good idea. Something I have had on my todo list for a long time but TSK is particularly appropriate for commentary->bible links. I need to check out the OSIS in the TSK.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Taps - I see you like to tap and move.</div><div><br></div><div>Verse selector - I plan to implement something like the Pocket Sword navigator in the next significant release. many of you have asked for a grid but I like the way the PS allows navigation to 'drop out' at any level i.e. book, chapter or verse and I also think it good to have some similarity between the apps, and I must confess the grids I have seen have not inspired me, but we have had this discussion before.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your comments SonWon. They all affect the design but just not instantly.</div><div><br></div><div>Have you upgraded to 2.2 yet?</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div>Martin</div><div>

Hey Martin great progress, I like it. There are a few things I would like to change:<div><br></div><div><ul><li>the back button on the phone, can this be programmable? I would like to exit the application or perhaps place an exit choice somewhere. Actually, I think this would be a better choice to have an exit selection somewhere in the application</li>
<li>The Bible button only moves forward, I would rather select the choice from a popup list.</li><li>In the TSK module can we tap on a verse and goto the verse</li><li>how about tapping on a verse number togo to the commentary</li>
<li>tap on a word to go to the dictionary</li><li>I would like to be able to select text colors and backgrounds :)</li><li>hmm, I still don't care for the verse selector screens. Can someone help with a better design? I can tell you what I prefer but I'm to busy to write any code.</li>
</ul></div><div>Takes about 1 second to load PS 119 on a Sprint EVO phone.</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 9:33 AM, Martin Denham <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mjdenham@gmail.com" target="_blank">mjdenham@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
