How can I use a "read through the Bible" guide alongside my Bible?

I have A Guide to Reading the Entire Bible in One Year set up in the top pane and my preferred Bible in the bottom pane. (Side note: I wish the Android app had a way to save layouts, as this is one I want to open daily and not have to manually set it up again each time.)

I know how to Link the panels, but they don't scroll in sync when I do this, because this particular read-through-the-bible guide is a Monograph and is not indexed by Scripture (I'll report that in a different thread).

So is there any way that I can click on the passage reference in the top panel and have it cause the bottom panel to jump to that reading?

Hi Rosie,

If you turn off Link Panels, tapping references in the top panel should open them in the bottom panel. Please see http://screencast.com/t/nWAzcUbXjx . Let me know if that takes care of it for you.

Kevin, it doesn't work that way for me. It opens that reference in the top panel, replacing my bible reading guide.

BTW, how do you capture a screen recording on an Android device? I know how to do screenshots, but not videos. I could demonstrate to you how mine doesn't work.

Hi Rosie.

i think, that for this to work, you need your preferred Bible open in your bottom panel.

do you have this?

I thought I did, but apparently I didn't. I have TNIV open in the bottom panel and that's my preferred Bible on my desktop, but my preferred Bible on my Android is set to NIV (1984). Trying to change that...

But now I'm having trouble getting my preferred Bible setting to stick. When I select TNIV as my preferred Bible, it doesn't stick.

1. Tap Gear icon

2. Tap "Settings"

3. Tap "Preferred Bible"

[Side note: Irritation: Why is this long list of Bibles I'm to choose my preferred Bible from not sorted alphabetically? And why doesn't it have my top prioritized Bibles at the top? And why can't I filter it somehow? It's enormous and a pain to have to scroll in every time.]

4. Scroll down and find TNIV and tap it to select it.

OK it's selected...for now.

But hit the Back button to get back out of Settings, and go into Settings again and the Preferred Bible is set back to NIV (1984).

What gives?

The video was creating using Jing while running the app through an Android Virtual Device created with the Android SDK. I don't know of a way to capture videos using an actual device.
