I agree. Quick verse selection is highly desirable. Scrolling
through all the books of the Bible is far too slow. I've found that
a grid selection available on some bible readers works quite fast.
Also, bookmarks and/or a history of viewed verses is very useful.
Having the back arrow take one to a previous verse is very
useful. Being able to navigate a set of bookmarked verses is
helpful in a worship service.<br>

the reader during sermons and some speakers move from Bible text

verse is useful for later review. Just my two sense. :)<br>

<p>Hi Martin and Troy, </p>
<p>I finally got the AndBible source built; I needed to get
the jsword source and also raise the memory limit for
Eclipse--it thrashed and eventually crashed in the
linker/dex step. There's still a dex warning that floods the
Console, but it works on my Droid X. I made a few minor
modifications to ensure I could, but nothing serious yet. </p>
<p>Major things I'd like to work on as a user are navigation,
continuous scrolling, and verse number sync. Also, do you
think we should replace the backend with native libsword?
That might help formatting and speed, but I don't know how
deeply it's woven into the code. The Bishop code could be a
useful example if we decide to go that way. </p>
<p>Should we continue discussion on this list? </p>

Dear Ken,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the debug. I also have had trouble with
the installer and<br>
haven't had time to look into it.<br>
<br>
The history is that I build Bishop as a sort of proof of
concept for the<br>
java-jni bindings for Android. I mostly work in the
engine code. The<br>
jni binding code I kept in SWORD SVN and the Bishop code
I just backed<br>
up occasionally to our server. Last year my drive
crashed and I lost<br>
some work but might have pieced it all back together.
Here is an email<br>
I sent to Gary with links to all my stuff.<br>
<br>
______________________<br>
<br>
After last year when I started the work I had a
harddrive die on my<br>
laptop. I had been backing up the work regularly, but
lost about 2<br>
weeks of work in the crash. I used a recovery tool to
salvage many of<br>
the files from the bishop project and think I may have
close to what is<br>
in the apk. Here are my resources if you want to try to
piece things<br>
together:<br>
<br>
Lastest binary when I stopped, dated 11-18-2009:<br>

<br>
Latest binary after reconstructing source and I think
some small new<br>
work (I think this is built with debug symbols in the
native library so<br>
it's a little bigger):<br>
<p><font color="#500050"><a moz-do-not-send="true"

Current backup of source which built the above:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://crosswire.org/%7Escribe/bishop-20100804.tar.gz"

<br>
Please excuse my ignorance of Android programming. I am
fumbling<br>
through it all.<br>
<br>
I remember having trouble with the InstallMgr. It
sometimes connects<br>
and downloads and other times it does not. I thought it
might be the<br>
limited memory on my G1 or some trouble with the timing
of the FTP code<br>
in the native library. I've found serious bugs in
Android's system<br>
calls, (e.g. memccpy) and reported it to them, but they
still haven't<br>
fixed it. I use my own version in the ftp lib to avoid
the bug. That<br>
is where I stopped-- thinking I needed to debug this ftp
intermittent<br>
issue. I didn't compare how well the older .apk works
versus the newer<br>
.apk. Maybe the older version worked better? Or maybe
a newer version<br>
of Android or new phone works better?<br>
<br>
Let me know what you find.<br>
