e-Sword for Android on Chrome OS now allows importing Apple compatible modules from BibleSupport into e-Sword for Android running on Chrome OS devices.

 

Today I was finally able to get it to work. Not sure if Rick Meyer's team made an update to the Android version or not, but it does now work when it would not just a few weeks ago. T J Higgins outlined the method to use on Android devices: http://www.biblesupp...ion/?hl=android This same method now works on my Chrome OS laptops running e-Sword for Android as well.

 

Thanks to all who contributed to the conversation about this. And especially to the e-Sword development team for making e-Sword available on Android to start with.

 

I help provide tech support for students at a ministry training school, and some of those students only have a Chrome OS based laptop. This will be a great help for them.

Thanks I updated the post with the version information

I have pinned the topic so it will stay as one of the top posts, otherwise in time it will move out of view and no one will see it.

Still no option to store modules on external storage, such as SD Card. Modules are taking up gigabytes of internal storage on my Android tablet.

 

Still can't do a global search on a scripture, Strong's reference, or word. You have to manually search publication by publication.

 

Esword is essentially a basic database reader, and the above are fundamental features of a database reader. Let's hope the next update fixes these shortcomings.

Hi, I've converted and transferred whatever I want from PC to Android.  The only ones I'm unable to do my own Harmony files (HARX).  The conversion utility doesn't work on them.  Am I missing something?

 

Thanks

Going by what I can see the Droid edition of e-Sword doesn't handle Harmony files (and neither does e-Sword HT or LT). Looks like that is being left for e-Sword PC edition and e-Sword X (which would be an hari file).

 

Blessings,
