<p>Hi Tobias,</p>
<p>SWORD + ICU integration offers more than just i18n support. It
can provide on-the-fly transliteration support (e.g. Hebrew or
Arabic to roman script or IPA), it can provide a Unicode aware
regex parser, and I am sure other things I am forgetting.</p>
<p>Yes, I think we already have what you are suggesting: if ICU is
not available at build time, then i18n support falls back to use
the new toUpper map impl for StringMgr, so I would say we do work
much better if ICU is not available at build time.</p>
<p>Thanks for the report that you've found it working well! I am
happy to hear,</p>
<p>Troy</p>
<p><br>

<p>Dear Troy,</p>
<p>After doing some more tests I can say that the Unicode support
based on the new toUpper map works pretty well! I tested with
German, French, Spanish and I did not find any issues. This
means that the next release of Ezra Project for Android will
have full i18n support!</p>
<p>I wonder whether this could be a general solution that allows
to get rid of SWORD's ICU dependency ... (would reduce the size
of my Windows installer quite significantly, too).</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Tobias<br>

<p>Dear Troy,</p>
<p>I just generated a test build of Ezra Project using your
latest SWORD update including the new Unicode toUpper map.<br>
<br>
I tested with the German language setting on Android and it
works! The Umlauts are displayed correctly. Thank you for this
change. I am going to do some additional tests with other
languages soon.</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>

<p>Dear Tobias,</p>
<p>I have spent a bit of time this morning investigating the
cost of including a Unicode toUpper map from an official
source in the SWORD source.</p>
<p>Using this URL from IBM: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/nls/rbagslowtoupmaptable.htm"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/nls/rbagslowtoupmaptable.htm</a></p>
<p>I have grabbed at least a UCS2 table (this includes all
Unicode values which fit into 16bits) and the source file
which is here:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/include/swtoupperdata.h"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/include/swtoupperdata.h</a></p>
<p>only results in about 14k and is only included is you
aren't compiling with ICU support, so this shouldn't impact
most all SWORD builds.</p>
<p>I've updated the default StringMgr::upperUTF8 to use this
map and the testsuite passes.</p>
<p>If you want to skip calling back into your JavaScript env
to do the toUpper, then you should be able to fallback to
this.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>
<p>Troy</p>

Hi Tobias! Excited you got things compiled.
Some things work for me on a Samsung Tab A
and some things don't. They all seem like
details now that you have a full stack
compiled and deployed! Looking forward to
see what becomes of it. Here's my
screenshot.<br class="">

<pre class="k9mail">Hi all,
I'm glad to announce the first working test candidate of Ezra Project on
Android (tagged Ezra Project 0.17.0-Beta3).
Here is a link to the app, which is now in the "open testing phase".
<a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ezraproject.cordova" moz-do-not-send="true" class="">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ezraproject.cordova</a>
Note that the app requires at least Android 7 and a 10" display.
Here's some technical background info:
The code base of Ezra Project only needed slight modifications to
support running with a Cordova wrapper as an Android app.
The pure cordova part now lives here:
<a href="https://github.com/ezra-project/ezra-project-cordova" moz-do-not-send="true" class="">https://github.com/ezra-project/ezra-project-cordova</a>
That repository simply includes the main Ezra Project repository as a
submodule.
The following additional aspects were added on Android:
- Write permission handling on startup
- Added an option to keep the screen on (it otherwise turns off after a
short time without user interaction)
- Added platform-specific startup code
- Added platform-specific full screen handling
There is still some work left to replace certain mouse-dependent
features with a touch-screen compatible UX.
Under the hood, a major refactoring of the "backend functionality" was
required first. All functionality that is directly interacting with the
filesystem was moved to a separate process (Sword, Settings, i18n,
Database). The architecture is the same in the Electron app and the
Cordova app. For each, frontend and backend are separated in two
different processes and interacting with each other via an IPC layer.
This IPC layer is in detail a bit different for Electron and Cordova,
but behaves the same from an interface perspective.
I'd be happy about feedback!
