Re #1220, here are some ideas I came up with today. My feeling about the current logo is:

• It doesn't easily convey in the Play Store what it is (see below for icons used for Bible programs in the store)
• I remember when it was changed in order to make it more safe for those installing in a persecuted region. I think that still should be considered. But maybe there are other ways for them to conceal the app?
• Most icons in the play store have text saying what the app is/does. I think that is probably something we should add.
• Gradients are out these days. Flat colors are in.
• Simple icons/logos are also in.
• Lot's of books in the Play Store. Probably a good idea since this is a Bible.
• But that doesn't make it stand out - our current icon is very different to others which I think is good.
• It's not easy (for me) to include the fish in a significantly different design and keep the design simple.
• I probably prefer a light background over a dark one. But that changes the icon too much I think.
• I quite like the abstract one below. But probably too abstract.
• I also quite like the idea of a colourful icon since it helps convey the colourful labeling system that And Bible now has.
• I also quite like including 'THE' in the name 'The Study Bible'. I do think it is the best out there - 'the' conveys that well in English.

Some extra ideas...

And many of the logos from the app store...

Hello,

Just checking to see if there has been any progress on a ambiguous or non-religious symbol for the logo?

Ben, you will appreciate this, I just read an article in The Christian Post, that if true shows the need for such a logo. I hope it is OK to link here, if not please delete this post.

I have spent a few hours looking at more 'study' Bibles on Play Store and And Bible is wayyyy better than all the ones I looked at. Plus, most of them had advertising! Yet some still managed to have 100s of thousands of downloads.

One thing I noticed again is that installation of these programs is very easy. Everything is installed automatically - Bibles, Strongs dictionary, and of course the highlighting colors (#1172) - all there after installation.

With And Bible the user is asked to download or restore, then they have 1800 documents to choose from, they select them one by one, then download, and finally they can start. I think this is unnecessarily hard.

Could we:

1. Provide a pretty intro screen after the first install with three buttons
2. Quick Setup Button: This installs two bibles (modern translation with Strongs), a commentary, dictionaries (Strongs) and adds workspaces and labels to match. Plus it also downloads or makes some search indexes. Include a note saying "Recommended for first time users! You can change these settings later on."
3. Clean Install: Current process - they have to choose what they want to download
4. Restore Button: Allows them to restore from a backup

If they choose Quick Setup then we might also grab some extra info:

1. Their preferred language
2. Allows us to grab the right bible version
3. Maybe allow them to choose a version of the bible from the 'Recommended' list
4. Perhaps show them all documents in the recommended list and let them remove ones they don't want. But this would mess with any preset Workspaces. And it is no longer 'Quick'.

Google is changing their policy! App title must be changed to something less than 30 charaters (in all languages).

Google's updated guidelines can be read here.

Not sure, but I guess we might have enough time to do this change towards 4.1.

BTW, I LOVE Andbible. Best bible app out there. I have Logos and Olive Tree as well for a few copyright resources, but Andbible is my daily bible.

Hello Everyone!

I was looking around the wiki and noticed that there supposedly was a discussion group. When I checked the link I saw that it was a groups.google.com link. Google Groups is now dead. Could we use another platform?

Options:

these are the best ones imo

• Make a Matrix room (no cost)
• Make a Telegram group (no cost)
• Or something like the above
• Host forum software (server costs)

Conclusion

I think AndBible should consider making something like a Matrix room since it doesn't take any money from the pocket.

Let me know what you think.

To reproduce: (Note: this bug does not happen consistently)

1. open two windows.
2. make sure win. synch is checked.
3. for the bottom window choose a Bible that only has old testament, e. g. JPS
4. from bookmarks go to a passage in the OT, both windows match.
5. again go to the bookmarks and choose a passage from the NT. So far all should be good.
6. from bookmarks go to a passage in OT. Check the book/verse ref. on the menu bar. It is incorrect. They will not mach the passage from the bookmark. If you don't see this issue keep going to diff. passages from your bookmark and it eventually happens. Don't really know exactly want triggers this issue and it's not consistent.

From play store beta feedback:

One problem I have noticed now is that if I am reading consecutive chapters and make a bookmark in the second chapter, when I go back, I end up in the first chapter and have to scroll back down to the second chapter. I then just went to the second chapter and just got skipped back to the first one I read.

Currently the windows settings auto hides after 2 seconds in full screen mode only. Can we add a check box option in the sub menu to allow the windows settings to auto hide in non full screen mode. The functionality of full screen mode should remain as is.

Testers:

Here is debug apk: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZTP-wJulzKLs8F6npXGZ3aIG_n1epdC4 that I try to keep up to date. You need to uninstall official Andbible before installing this.

Reviewers:

This pull request includes everything that is ready to be reviewed/tested (and perhaps merged) so far.

Phase 1 (verse by verse speaking)

• Old method is used for commentaries & genbooks
• There are two speak windows: one for bible, one for others. Active window content determines which one is opened.
• Automatically pause/continue when headphone is disconnected/connected
• Persist speech state if paused and going away from app
• Bible book change message like this: "Book changed. Exodus chapter 1."
• Optionally synchronize speech with first window
• Speak chapter changes like this: "Genesis Chapter 1.". Book name is spoken in the locale determined by bible translation.
• Continue sentences: if verse does not end in period (or !, ?), opt to feed more content to TTS. This is to make sure speech intonation is correct.
• Auto bookmark on pause / stop with special speak label.
• Speak speed adjustment
• Increase speech rate maximum to 300% (closes #99)

Phase 2 (Add text options to TTS)

• Option to speak titles
• Option to use earcons (page flip sound before title etc.)
  • Earcon sources:
    • Page flipping sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k8XfsqkU3o
    • Others: KDE project (as of Ubuntu 16.04 in /usr/share/sound/*))
• Option to have small delay between paragraph changes
• Option to replace divine name (LORD) with Yahweh while speaking

Phase 3 (Speak notifications)

• Show notification while speaking / paused. Notification shows the latest title and current verse.
• Take wakelock while speaking to prevent from sleeping
• Use foreground service to prevent OOM killer from killing speaking process (notification can't be removed while speaking)
• Support notification channels (Oreo). Notification support down to Android L.

Phase 4 (Widget)

• Add widget showing playback buttons, current title and bible verse

Phase 5 (Autobookmark)

• Option to save playback settings into bookmark & restore when resuming.
• Improve and simplify speak settings layout

Phase 6 (Sleep timer)

• sleep timer option
• add and improve tests
• more widget types, especially TTS bookmark widget which has shortcut buttons to TTS bookmarks.

I have always thought that the search button is too far away from the my normal workflow. Going into the hamburger menu just felt wrong and slow (that does go to show how lazy I have become!). A two finger tap is unused (as far as I am aware) and is a nice shortcut for this. I think we could also have 3 finger taps but that will require a fancier implementation that I have done. Maybe there is justification to allow the user to customise what a two finger tap does.

This partially addresses #2402

One of the modules we are missing in Andbible is a Bible with Hebrew morphology, does anyone know how we could use the OpenHB-LA.bbl.mybible From this site. The module is in sqlite3 data's base and can be used freely of it's not sold: https://www.mysword.info/news/292-open-hebrew-bible-ohb

The coroutineScope{} builder waits until all of its child jobs are complete before returning. Therefore, using launch{} instead of awaitAll(async{}) avoids creating unnecessary Deferred<Unit> objects while achieving the same concurrency.

(documentation reference: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coroutines-basics.html#scope-builder)

Need to figure out how to make sure scoped css do not break our test.

Something similar has been done here: https://runthatline.com/test-css-module-classes-in-vue-with-vitest/ but it does not seem to work.
