Running And Bible in Chrome

Introduction

Experiences running And Bible in Chrome.

Details

Notes from a user:

I followed the directions on this lifehacker webpage to get things running, then used the And Bible download found in this document here.

The version they use is an older build, but it is the only one I've had success with downloading modules with. So, I downloaded the modules I want with that version, then I swapped the old .apk they have in there with your latest .apk from the google drive folder you provide. So I have all the modules I want already, running as a Chrome extension. In the extensions page, you can click Details > Create Shortcuts in order to make a shortcut directly to And Bible.

When I was on Linux, I remember that package managers typically had Chromium in them, which was different from the Chrome package thats downloadable from Google.

I have recently created a modified build of And Bible which is more compatible with Chrome by replacing HttpClient with HttpURLConnection.

Arc Welder Development

Logcat

Open your debug APK in ARC Welder and run it Open Chrome and type "chrome://inspect/#apps" in the address bar Hopefully you see your App name listed, click the 'inspect' link for your app. In the Javascript Console that appears type plugin.shell('logcat'); Source: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/getstarted_arc#bestpractices

Error Caused by HttpClient

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=384940 I subsequently replaced HttpClient with HtpURLConnection to avoid this issue and created this modified build.
