I tried the test strong package and get get it to show the Strong numbers in KJV. But I'm not sure what to do with them.

I did the same. I'm assuming that the Strong's dictionary module can't be viewed from within rapier. So we'll probably need the hard copy of Strong's next to the tablet, to manually look up the number we're interested in. Old school!
Any plans to integrate the Strong's content into rapier pamadio? That'd be a very nice tool.

Strong's number are a new feature to me too

The way I'm currently using Strong's number is simply by searching for a given number reference (when the "strong number" box is checked, all search are done in the strong's number database and not on the clucene index anymore) to see where the same word has been used.

I havent looked at the dictionary module yet. I ll most probably check it out in the near future.

First test is available here:

http://hurdygurdy.dyndns.org/maemosword/test.html

Since 1.0.3-1test5, the dictionary entry that was searched is displayed in a window (that is, if you have the corresponding strong number module installed as well as the strong.db database available in the above link).

strong's definitions are working fine here. rapier is becoming a very powerful study tool. thanks pierre!

i don't know how complicated it would be. but to make strong's really easy to use, it'd be nice if you could just tap on a number in the text, and the definition popped up.

is kjv the only version that the numbers are integrated into?

edit : i guess it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong%27s_Concordance
that article does suggest an asv concordance has been done. i don't think it's in the sword library though. i just installed the asv module and the strongs checkbox did not show.

I try to implement something similar:

You have to double click a number so it ends up selected in the textview. When this happens, a search is started too.

The only other module with Strong Number mentionned on the crosswire site is in russian (RusVZh).

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modul...modType=Bibles

I am not getting any definitions, just numbers and a search for a number. Is that what its supposed to do or is there something else?

Do you have the following modules installed ?

StrongsGreek -> Strong's Greek Bible Dictionary
StrongsHebrew -> Strong's Hebrew Bible Dictionary

Where do you get those? I looked in the module name list and nothing looked like the dictionaries. I just assumed that it was included in the database download when I could not find it.

They should be listed in the "en" (english) list of module available in manage/remote.

You can also just download them from the crosswire web site and unzip them in the directory where you store the other modules:

http://www.crosswire.org/sword/servl...ek&pkgType=raw
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/servl...ew&pkgType=raw

The database is just an index of words per verse: the sword engine let one perform such a search, but as there is no index used, the time it would take would be too long (and there does not seem to be an option to use the clucene index for them).
