Hi Alex,

Have you had any success compiling Bishop?  What operating system do you use for development?

Hi Troy, I haven't started any work on this yet. I wanted to get feedback before I started poking around Bishop's code. I almost always use Linux for development.

display "Modes". The current mode, which can display up to 3 Bibles in parallel, I've kept the default and named "Bible".  I've added 2 new display modes: Language Assist and Commentary Assist.  Both of these are split screen modes which show the primary Bible text on the left and as you scroll it populates the right with the chosen tool. Language Assist places the Word Study tool on the right. Commentary Assist places the Commentary tool on the right.  These are the same tools as on the Verse Study screen, but just pull forward to the mail screen, split to the right side.  I wanted to make the scroll on the Word Study tool highlight the current word as you scrolled, in the same way the current verse hightlights as you scroll the Bible view.  This way, when there is a word I need help with, I can scroll the right side quickly until that word is highlighted in the verse and then I'll know that word is in view with it's definition on the right.

This sounds interesting, and I'd like to try it out. I suppose this is what's in your latest release to the Play Store?

Well, I finished the split screen view and the 3 modes, but it just seems a little too small in the emulator screen.  The Strong's definitions we use have a bunch of extraneous information (like "See XXXXX; See YYYYY+ZZZZZ). Which I don't think anyone ever uses.  We don't provide nice links for these texts, though we should.  I am sure the would be used more if we did.  But for now, I was thinking of trying to hide that info.  It might make the tool more usable in the smaller split screen on the right.

I agree. maybe you can make it an option under settings to hide them?

press difficulties.  Maybe your swipe left idea might be cool to bring up the Word Study tool instead of splitting the screen.  That would make it easier to switch between the two.

I'll see what I can come up with. It might take a little while though since I'm totally unfamiliar with Cordova.
