Dear Gary, My apologies for not replying sooner. Glad you got subscribed to sword-devel. Often you'll get a faster better reply from others on the list.
So, you'll probably want at least a basic understanding of the SWORD engine if you're planning to maintain a full featured Android client. Though I understand wanting to get something put together quickly get the ball rolling. SWORD modules use all sorts of different markup internally. When you create your library factory, you can tell it what sort of markup you want as output from RenderText. I have not yet added a means in the JNI wrapper to specify output markup; it is currently hardcoded to FMT_WEBIF here: http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/bindings/java-jni/jni/webmgr.hpp This format is the same markup we output for our web frontend here: http://crosswire.org/study/ I would think this should be close to what you want for a nice rich output with formatting, footnotes, xrefs, clickable strongs, etc. You can change this to FMT_PLAIN for plain text output, but this wouldn't be nice in the long run. StripText is for obtaining the same buffer used for a search. Hope this helps, Troy On 08/18/2010 06:06 PM, Gary Lo wrote: > Hi All, > > This is my first post, hope I'm doing the right thing.
