<p>Bishop does have a search path it looks for modules. Most
notably it tries to find a SWORD library, first at:</p>
<p>/sdcard/Documents/sword, then<br>
/sdcard/sword</p>
<p>then AUGMENTS any AndBible modules it might have access to reach
at (which I don't think is allowed anymore in modern Android
releases):<br>
/sdcard/Android/data/net.bible.android.activity/files</p>

<p>Then falls back to STORAGE_BASE set from
SWMgr.getStorageBasePath(), which is basically:</p>
<p>app.getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();</p>

Dear Tobias, Troy, and Tuomas,<br>
I’d like to take the opportunity of Ezra Bible’s release to
revisit the idea of having a shared folder (Sword?) for modules on
Android; this would make using the various apps much easier. I
don’t have the expertise to help or fully grasp the technical
challenges involved, but it would be great not to have to store
the same modules three times.<br>
