I'm not sure all the right terms to use in asking this question so I'll try to be descriptive.  When I have the interlinear open in Android, the bottom line is numbers that, when pressed, open Louw and Nida.  If I download this resource for offline, will my phone still communicate across the internet to grab the reference or will it just use the offline resource?  I have no way to measure if there is internet activity when I press on those numbers.

    update:  This is turning into a bug post.  I downloaded Louw for offline and the references stopped working altogether.  They all say "not available" when pressed.  I tried restarting the app to see if that made it recognize the offline resource better but no change.  Then I removed it from offline and the references work again! BTW I'm running .9.4 beta 2 on a Nexus One 2.3.6

    I have LN Lexicon on my device and cannot access LN numbers from DBL Greek Lexicon, also on device, whether online or offline i.e. "Not available". But I can access Strong's numbers online and that resource is not on my device.

    In the main part of LN lexicon which has the domains as the main entry  e.g. 35.23 I find all the references work offline (m, Ro 13.6, footnote 5, 35.22) with 35.22 taking me to that subdomain entry. Ro 13.6 pops-up because my preferred bible is also on the device.

    But I get your problem message in Volume 2, Greek-English index. The LN numbers state "not available" when pressed, whether offline or online.
