[sword-devel] Android SWORD

[Joe Dobrik]

Hello all,

I hope I am at the right place to enquire if anyone is working on this
project and if there is any progress made on it since last October?
As many new phone came out recently running Android 2 it would be great to
have it available on there too.

Thanks,

joey d.

A quick update on Android progress.

o  Basic Bible navigation and display are working, albeit not pretty.
o  Text-to-Speech functionality is added.
o  All methods from the engine are now completely wrapped to the same
swordorb.idl interface we use for SWORDWeb's Java<-CORBA->C++ bridge, so
a full-featured Android client should now be possible with the current
engine exposure.

Everything is still at the same location (below).

        -Troy.
