Just a quick reply to you as I am getting ready to go to work
shortly. I will reply to Daniel later today.<br>
<br>
There is a menu to adjust the size of user interface text. It has a
default size, but you can adjust from there. It sounds like the
default is to large on your phone and caused the text to be
truncated. There is a separate menu to adjust the text size for the
document. It seems I need to set the default text size lower when
the pixel density is lower. <br>
<br>
Thanks for the report.<br>
<br>

Gary,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve installed it on my Samsung Galaxy Centura (low end
phone). It installed quickly and without a hitch.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Being forewarned about the blank screen, I was slightly
surprised when, as you mentioned in your reply to Ben, it
prompted me to open the Bookshelf Manager. I found that I
couldn’t see the entire entry in most of the fields - Crosswire
was Crosswi, as was Crosswire Attic and Crosswire Beta - so that
was a little hard to differentiate. I selected several items,
allowed them to install, and all was well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think the UI for the Bookshelf Manager could use some
improvement in appearance, and possibly layout, but functionally
it was very good. I plan to explore it a bit further and if I
find anything that might be of interest I’ll send along a note.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Great job, and thank you for a handy version!</div>
<div><br>

I installed it successfully on my Sony Erickson (Android
4.1, I think). I discovered I had to enable installation
of non-marketplace apps. After that it was easy, though
the first screen was a little confusing. I eventually
worked out that I needed to tap on the upper right corner,
but enabling the right button to open the menu might help
that. I have no idea how standard that is on Android
phones, but I have always felt it was an advantage over
the iOS devices, which have only one button. <br>
<br>
The interface looks good. I like the continuous scrolling
a lot! The idea of multiple windows is unusual for a
mobile device, but I like the concept a lot since I often
switch between languages. It would be nice if you could
swipe left or right to switch between windows. <br>
<br>
I did encounter a couple of problems. Every time I open
the Bookshelf Manager, the screen is garbled. When I pull
on it a little, the screen repaints and is clear. The
other thing I noticed is that feedback when I tap on
things is delayed significantly. I do not know if that is
because my phone is old (late 2011), but I found myself
pressing buttons multiple times. <br>
<br>
Related to languages, I hope you enable add the ability to
change fonts to enable reading in Greek and other
languages. I have not checked on Hebrew yet, but Greek is
missing characters, I think. <br>
<br>
Overall a fantastic beginning!<br>
<br>
Daniel<br>

I have been working on a alternate frontend for
BibleTime that works well on Android phones and tablets.
It is called BibleTime Mobile. Some features are:<br>
<ul>
<li> Open Bible, Book, Commentary, Cult, Daily
Devotional, and Glossary windows </li>
<li> Scroll through the entire document continuously.
</li>
<li> You can open multiple windows and set the window
arrangement mode to either single, tabbed, or
splitting the view horizontally, vertically, or
both. </li>
<li> Adjust the font size of user interface text while
looking at UI elements as they change. </li>
<li> Adjust the font size of document text while
looking at at the document. </li>
<li> Install works from any of several internet
sources. </li>
<li> Saves state of windows when you quit and restores
them when starting. </li>
<li>Search multiple works at once. </li>
<li> Internationalization is ready but no translations
have been done. </li>
</ul>
I would like to get some feedback about it. If you have
a android phone or tablet version 3.0 or higher, it
should run. I have done all my testing with a Nexus 5
phone and Nexus 7 tablet with android version 4.4.<br>
<br>
To install it:<br>
1. Change your Settings, Security, Unknown Sources to
allow unknown sources.<br>
2. Download the apk file from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://sourcearchives.com/bt/bibletimemobile.apk">http://sourcearchives.com/bt/bibletimemobile.apk</a><br>
3. Using a file explorer, select the bibletimemobile.apk
file. It should ask if you want to install. Say yes.<br>
<br>
Once you run it you will need to download some documents
(works). Part of what I want feedback about is how easy
it is to figure out what to do, so I won't give any
details about that now.<br>
<br>
If you do try it, I would like your feedback, good or
bad. Just reply to this email.<br>
