Back Button Operation Android Beta 7
First: THANKS! A thousand times, THANKS! For Android OS, for Android Market (no more sideloads because of my friends at ATT).
Second: Do you guys ever rest?
Third: I find the back button quirky. Sometimes it backs me up to the previous screen; sometimes it exits to the library page. I think in Beta 6 it was sometimes just kicking me out.
For example in the Greek-English Lexicon of the LXX when I go to the contents (by tapping the top of the screen) then selecting say "A" with the > on the right I get a page full of selectable entries. I can chose any of those, let's pick "adonai - aidad" with the > on the right and I get another screen full of Greek words to select. Until now, the back button will back me out. If, however, I select any of the words on this screen, say "adonai" it takes me to the adonai entry in the lexicon (with the already identified right-to-left issue for the Hebrew), but when I'm done looking up the entry, I press back and it takes me back to my library page.
I'm not sure what other users want, but I'd like the back button (or in my case it's more like an "oops" button) to always return me to the previous page even in my Bibles.
Finally: Your tools are great. They've been a big help to me. With the changes from 3 to 4 I had to change the way I do some things. Some changes are better, some not so much. General Barry McCaffery once told me, "All change, good or bad, will be met with equal resistance." I don't think that I've read a lot of resistance in your forum pages for any of your changes (certainly not new products like this) although I have seen some sharp barbs from time to time. Your products are excellent and are a blessing to people in ways you cannot imagine. I use your software for personal study and to prepare for teaching but I never know how far beyond that teaching those lessons will travel. Please know that what you do with preparing this software for us reaches well beyond your list of users. I think this is the long way to say I'll probably use the product however it winds up in the production version. May God bless you all.
I'm running a Motorola Atrix on ATT, Android 2.2.2, Logos Android Beta 7.

The back button drives me crazy on my atrix. Back button kicks you out of library. If you hit the key next to home...i. call it the 4 button key, it will give you the option of history....which is what im doing to go backwards rather than kick out of library.
