Clicking on the Commentary button on the top LEFT of the screen opens to Bible category

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The commentary button (top left) when clicked opens the documents page (good) 
but it shows the Bible category (not so good).  It would be good if it opened 
the Commentary category directly.

PS: I submitted a feature request before i discovered this option.  That 
request is almost covered by this existing feature.  So it can probably be 
removed.  It would be nice to jump directly to a commentary of choice rather 
than having to open the previous one then chose the preferred one.  But that is 
not a big issue of course.

I was thinking about making the doc type selector sticky, but your idea seems 
okay too.  I'll implement this the way you describe for now and see how it 
goes.  It'll probably be in the next release which is due in a week or so 
unless there are problems.

Sweet. That would be great.  Sticky would be good too but this change would 
eliminate my need for it mostly i think.  Well done.  I look forward to the 
next version.  Great app. Nice design.  I had almost resigned myself to trying 
to write my own which would give me back some of the great features in Pocket 
Esword.  But And-Bible does it splendidly. Would love to be able to contribute 
something useful to it one day!

So many people came from Pocket e-Sword, myself too.  Last year I decided to 
write a bible app when Rick announced PE was no longer being supported or 
developed.  One key requirement for me was the ability to tweak the app because 
there were one or two annoyances in PE.

There are now quite a few similar (but different) bible apps on Android - 
YouVersion, Cadre, MySword are popular but there are many others.  Only one 
other that I know of (CrossConnect) is OSS, but most have a strong feature set 
built in.

I was underwhelmed by the other ones i looked at - YouVersion, Cadre, Logos and 
a few others.  What i wanted was to be able to 'study' the bible.  I find i 
read a LOT more from the commentaries on my handheld device because i can do it 
from my bed.  So i want to find a verse then quickly read all the commentaries 
on that verse.  And-Bible does that real well - nice cycling through which i 
think is better than Pocket eSword.  Good call on that one.

I also want to be able to use TSK quickly and easily to study around a passage 
while i am doing devotionals.  

Anyhow, I was quite relieved to find And-Bible.  Pocket eSword was my favourite 
mobile app.  I hope And-Bible will exceed it :)

Oh, a related feature that will be a bit harder to implement.

When you open the commentary list via the left-top button, it shows ALL 
commentaries.  Your 'cycle through ONLY commentaries that have something about 
the selected verse' is a great idea.  It would be nice if that could be carried 
into this change.  

That is, when the commentary list is displayed, only the commentaries with data 
on the selected verse are displayed :)
