grid navigation feedback

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yesterday I did some testing of and-bible svn version.

Attached are screenshots of the grid navigation from my phone. My phone has the 
smallest resolution which android supports (QVGA (320×240)).

As of now the grid navigation seems to me a little confusing.

Hi, I am glad you are taking an interest in the code in svn but the grid code 
you see is just an experimental version which I have dropped but the main issue 
is that there are no short names in the Czech language.  This is an issue we 
have for a lot of languages and I have raised it in the JSword and Sword 
mailing lists.

Would you be able to supply short names in Czech.  If so could you translate 
this file 
(http://www.crosswire.org/svn/jsword/trunk/jsword/src/main/resources/org/crosswi
re/jsword/versification/BibleNames_cs.properties) and post it to the jsword 
mailing list or drop it here and I will post it for you.

Many thanks
Martin

Just to clarify wrt dropping the grid code.  I have not dropped the grid idea, 
merely the code and I have started new grid code which should work in a similar 
manner to that which you have seen.  You can see the new grid prototype in 
tests/TableKeyboard but I will move it into And Bible soon.

The problem with the old code was that it was based on Android Keyboard code 
and so where I saw errors I could not fix them.  One issue was that it did not 
fill large screens neatly so I switched to a TableLayout and copied a lot of 
ideas from Android Keyboard.

When I first implemented the current list based nav method I had some negative 
feedback in mobile-devel and a lot of requests for grid nav.

Grid navigation now looks much better with short names. Attached is the file 
with translation.

Note: Maybe it could be better to show the fullname, when the user touches the 
button with the short name.

Thanks very much for the file and I sort of agree with you regarding the full 
book name but am concerned that in some languages book names get very long so 
for the first release I think I will leave it as it is but thanks for you input.

It would be great if you check the Czech user interface in the recent build I 
uploaded yesterday to this site.

The czech user interface looks fine with the recent build.
