NEW: Sermon Builder and Sermon Manager on Android Tablets

With v37 Beta 1, we're bringing to Android tablet users two of their most requested features: Sermon Builder and Sermon Manager.

Very happy to have this on Android finally. I remember being disappointed when it wasn't immediately available for Android when first released. Thank you for honoring that purchase.

I am happy to hear you are working on Android! I bought Apple products solely because Logos works better on them, and there are many things I don't like about iOS, and I would switch back to Android in a second.

However, I can't switch until it is possible to select text and then scroll without losing the selection. Until this happens, I can only select text if everything I want to select is visible on the screen, which makes Logos on Android totally unusable for me, since I often want to add a highlight or a note on a large paragraph.

I have been told that it would be "impossible" to fix this because of the way Android works, but unfortunately, all improvements to Logos on Android will be moot until this one issue is fixed... Hoping you will reconsider whether it is possible, since (thankfully) you remain committed to Android!

This is incredible news! Just spent the afternoon doing price comparisions on iPads because I had lost hope.

Wonderful news. I've missed it since the 12th, even though I'm a beta tester. Thanks for your work!

Now all that's left is to improve the sermon builder... lol
I know it's hard to please us Logosians! We're very demanding... [;)]

Thanks for adding this! I tried working with it the other day and ran into issues with it paging up whenever I hit enter for a new line. Also, will we eventually get a "handout" view?

I'm sure there are several bugs that will get worked out over time, but excited to finally have this as an option!

Thank you for the report, Drew. We're working on a fix for the issue when entering a new line.

The plan is for the "Text", "Handout" and "Questions" views to become available in Android in upcoming releases.

Hi Logan. Currently there isn't a notebook view on Sermon Builder in any platform, I'm not sure if you mean something different

I assumed, but could be wrong, that Logan was referring to the Sermon Notebook feature

Hello

I have a question. I am happy to post it as a feature request, but wanted to see if it was possible first. For years I have been writing my sermons on Microsoft word, and I am very aware of how much time 1 page of text represents in my preaching. The hardest thing about shifting to the Logos Sermon Builder tool is the lack of a page break or print view when writing. I dont need it in the sermon preaching mode, but only during the writing process. I love the preaching mode as it currently works. Anyway, would it be possible to add a print layout to the sermon builder in addition to the endless document style it offers now?

Thank you Logan for the clarification about the notebook view and for your feedback on pagination.

The notebook sidebar isn't supported at this time in Android tablets or iPads, but we'll evaluate adding it in the future.

For knowing how long the sermon you're working on might take to be delivered, isn't the word count on the left bottom corner useful?

I think because i write my sermon in an outline format it doesnt work for me. Usually it underestimates the time by a good deal.

When i turn to preaching mode on my tablet in portrait view i now know about 19 pages is the appropriate length for me. It would be awesome to have some kind of pagination to go off of while writing.

Does the Samsung fold count as a tablet or as a Smartphone. Would be great to use the sermon bilder on the Samsung fold.
