<p>Bishop 1.0.2 pushed out-- support for older devices.<br>
</p>
<p>Found some JavaScript and CSS constructs I was using which didn't
work well (at all) on older Android phones. I've updated things
and tested on Android 5.1 and iPhone 5s and seems to now work
reasonably well. Please let me know if you have a device which is
having trouble or if you are successfully running on an Android
release older than 5.1. I'd like to know how old we can go back
and still support.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your feedback and time spent having a go at
this,</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback Michael,</p>
<p>I have added a new menu choice:</p>
<p>[ Settings ]</p>
<p> - Font Size +</p>
<p>It seems to work well on both iOS and Android. Please let me
know if it makes the app more usable for you. The update should
now be available for your phone.</p>

Bishop installed and recognized all the modules (at least 20+
bibles, i haven't confirmed "ALL") that AndBible has present.
I haven't attempted any more module installs after installing
Bishop, either from AndBible or Bishop.

<div>The text is small on my Samsung Galaxy On5. Not horribly
unreadably small, but small for me to use for any length of
time. I don't see settings to adjust that, so I haven't
spent much time on it. I can and will test more if you have
something specific.. But this isn't ready for my eyes yet.
Very promising tho. :-) Based on the images in the store
screen, I would be using it more if the text had size
adjustment. <br>

<p>Dear team,<br>
</p>
<p>You all know we've been working on Cordova
bindings for SWORD for quite some time now.
We now have a simple reader written in
JavaScript which will run unchanged on both
Android and iOS.Bishop includes an InstallMgr
to auto-discover remote installation sources
and let a user install SWORD content.<br>
</p>
<p>I've kept the development code name "Bishop",
my favorite android (from Aliens) and almost
appropriate for a Bible app :) I've also
tacked on our boring moniker from our Windows
app, "Bishop: The SWORD Project for Android".
Long name but should get more search hits.<br>
</p>
<div>Basically, Bishop's UI has 2 basic modes:<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div><b>Reader</b>: which simply shows 1
chapter of up to 3 Bibles in parallel.<br>
</div>
<div> <b>Verse</b> <b>Study</b>: When in
reader mode, as the user scrolls, one verse
will always be active, when "Verse Study" is
chosen from the menu, the user can then
drill down into that active verse. Verse
Study has 4 tools:<b><br>
</b> </div>
<blockquote>
<div><b>Word</b> <b>Study</b>: shows the
verse broken down word by word, showing
the original Greek or Hebrew behind each
word, along with a simple definition.<b><br>
Commentary</b>: shows all installed
commentary for that verse.</div>
<div> <b>Witness</b> <b>Study</b>: shows
all available ancient New Testament
manuscript witnesses which attest to the
current verse.<br>
</div>
<div> <b>Variant</b> <b>Study</b>: shows
all variant between the manuscript
witnesses for the current verse.<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div>Other features include very basic bookmarks
and search. The Android release has an
initial attempt at BibleSync support to send
your current verse out to all your friends
running Bishop on the same network (thanks
Karl!).<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> The initial goal of Bishop was to be the
thinnest client on top of the bindings, as an
example and thus uses no 3rd party libraries,
save jQuery. Now that the initial release is
completed and can serve as an example, we're
free to improve the mobile user interface if
anyone feels called to join the team and give
it a shot.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Installation locations follow. It's best
to let Bishop install its basic set of SWORD
modules upon first run, so it has a minimal
set of tools it can use to operate. It will
prompt you to do this when you first launch
the application and it finds no modules
installed.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>

<div> Android users can install the app from: <br>

<p>iPhone users will need to send me their UDID
for testing while we try to get through the
Apple Store approval process. I haven't even
tried yet as I don't have much hope that it is
"pretty" enough for them, but the download
link for the iPhone binary is here:<br>

<p>Please let us know what you think if you are
a user, and offer your suggestions from a
usability perspective.<br>
</p>
<p>If you are a developer, please offer comments
and suggest features you have a desire and are
willing to add.<br>
</p>
<p>Please give us a great rating so we show up
in a search in the Play Store and let others
know. I think we have some unique feature
that other app don't offer and I've been using
Bishop as my morning reader for a while now.
The default fullscreen text without clutter is
pleasant. <br>
</p>
<p>Christ's best for you!<br>
