Great work! This is really coming along nicely. Is there a way to create a new note file in the app, or must it be created on the desktop?

On my Acer Iconia Tab A500 with the Bible app (running Cyanogenmod 9, based on Android 4.0.4) note creation is working, however I am unable to create color highlights. I can alter the text, like all caps or underline, but it will not create a color highlight.

Thanks for all your work!

Currently you cannot manually create or manage note documents from the Android apps.

Highlights and notes appear now in translations where they did not appear, but should have, before so that issue seems resolved.

Highlights still only appear in low light reading mode. In standard color scheme highlights do not appear.

Here are the steps I performed to create a blue highlight:

1. Select some resource text
2. Press Highlight from the selection popup
3. Press Highlight from the All Styles section
4. Press the Blue Highlighter list option
5. Press the Done button

Note once perform the above steps creating additional blue highlights only requires steps 1 and 5 because the Blue Highligher is already selected or in the recent Styles section.

I select text and tap highlight, the page dims and "expands". Ten seconds later it crashes with "Unfortunately, Bible has stopped."

I haven't found a way to get logs.

Same crash when I select "Notes"

Pastor Brian

Mine crashes whenever I open my default Bible which is NKJV. It doesn't crash when I open other translations such as ESV. I wondered if it was because I added a chronological reading plan to NKJV? Logos didn't crash when I open NKJV until I added the reading plan.

Mine is a Nook Color running 2.3.7 Android and Mod version is CyanogenMod-7.1.0.

It was running 2.0 Beta 3.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/384859#Comment_384859

Same thing happened to me on my Android phone. running 2.3.3 Android. It's also running 2.0 Beta 3. It must be an issue relating with reading plan.

Chris Powell

Great job! All notes and highlighting now appear for me. And, I LOVE the ability to create new notes and highlighting in the app. No crashes on my devices yet. Like others, I have a reading plan on my default bible (ESV). But, that fact is not affecting the performance in any way. For my devices, this is the best release to date.

I am using the Bible Android App on an Atrix (1st gen - 2.3.6 OS) and a Lenovo K1 (3.2.1 OS).

Thank you, much appreciated. Is there any plan to fix the Hebrew font issue soon?

John Brainard

This looks GREAT on my Transformer Prime! The timing for this update is perfect... I'll have all the tools I care most about on my tablet while on vacation this coming week.

Thank you, much appreciated. Is there any plan to fix the Hebrew font issue soon?

We are actively researching the issue, but have not yet come to a solution.

Known issues

Notes and Highlights cannot be edited (yet)

Page turning is very slow for users who have many notes/highlights

Copy/share of selection includes footnote indicators

Spanish locale contains some English strings

I must have "many" notes/highlights. Page turning for me is about 2 minutes per page turn.

Still no "menu button" on Asus Transformer Prime, build 4.0.3 using Bible.

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/384969#Comment_384969

Also, am I correct in understanding that current notes/highlights in the PC version of Logos 4 cannot be edited on the mobile device, but they can be created and synced on a mobile device? If so, then I can say that I have nothing more to say to our Android Developers except Job Well Done.

Dave,

I apologize if you've already tried this, but try downloading the .apk file from your computer (if you still get v2.0.3, try clearing your browser's cache). If you can successfully download the file from your computer, you should be able to plug in your device and manually put the file in your device's downloads folder (or wherever you like) and then install the app from your device.

Still no "menu button" on Asus Transformer Prime, build 4.0.3 using Bible.

This is intentional. The menus from version 1 of the apps have been replaced by the sidebar menus, allowing easy access to more information. Devices with a physical menu button will open the sidebar when pressed, but devices with software buttons will not have a menu button since it would offer no additional functionality than the button at the top left of the reading view (which opens the sidebar).

ok, good to know. is it possible to request like a 50% size increase on that button then? i find that i have to tap it a few times to get it. while your at it, the whole top row of buttons when you are reading a book could use a size increase. i'm not talking huge, but something a bit more would be appreciated. also, the circle X in the address bar is extremely small on my transfomer prime.

also, it seems in build 48, on my transformer prime, that when I go to add notes, it forces a crash in Bible. I think when I had build 47, it would allow me to add the notes no problem.

The Bible app is running smooth. So far no force close issues I have seen others report. However on my tablet I still cannot see any of the highlighter markings, but all notes and other markup styles show perfect. Everything shows perfect on my phone highlighter included.

Whenever I select text, then either click "highlight" or "note" the program crashes. This happens both on my Kindle Fire and my Samsung Galaxy.

I'm now getting the right version on my phone but I didn't clear the cache to do so (and haven't had the problem before now).

I'm sorry, but I don't find this style of interface to be useful or productive on my phone. It's really retrograde having a "side bar" that doesn't use all the width of the screen.

Fixed

Showing a “Download All” button in the library when there was nothing to download

Crash when long-pressing back button to view history

Galaxy S phone, Android 2.3

When offline I get "Download all" for the one bible (ESV) which is already downloaded.

When online I get "Download all" for 2 resources when I filter on "ESV", but one (the bible) is already downloaded!

Long press in "side bar" does nothing. In a resource it gives a slow scroll to the "side bar"! It gave me History in previous beta.

Select the text containing the highlight you want to remove and select "Remove Annotations". Beware, however, this will remove any and all notes/highlights within your selection.

When I select the highlighted text the only options I see is : copy, info, search, note, highlight. I cannot find "remove annotations" and can't find it any where???

Try scrolling the popup horizontally. You should be able to scroll farther and see a "Remove Annotation" option and a "Share" option.

Highlights appear, but Bible app crashes when creating new ones. No notes created on desktop appear in favorites.
