I have been creating a library of books in RAB and would like to divide the books into sections (ie, Old Testament and New Testament).
To do this, I added an Old Testament page with all the books listed under that page on the Navigation Screen. I then created a header in the Home screen called Old Testament with a target link to Old Testament page. Upon building and installing the APK, the Old Testament header appears in Home screen but is not actionable (I tap but it does not take me to the targetted page). Is there something I am missing
I assume you’re talking about a contents menu, right? It sounds like you’ve done the right thing: Creating a “screen” named Old Testament and adding menu items to the OT books, all under that screen. Then creating an item on the Home screen whose target is “Another menu screen” and then you set it to link to the Old Testament screen. Does that sound like what you’ve got? Does everything appear correct in the contents menu setup? You can double-click on the OT screen link under the Home screen and double-check that it’s pointing to the OT screen.
Perhaps you could share your project with me to andrew_shafe@sil.org
Do you have a reason that you’re using RAB rather than SAB? SAB is better suited to handling Scripture.
Thanks for your post. You have described what I am doing correctly. I checked the target link in the header I created, and it is set to Old Testament. On my Android device, I see the header, but when I tap on it, it does not open the Old Testament page.
The project I am working on is a set of Bible commentaries I have written for distribution overseas. The Old Testament screen containes 21 books. I have another 15 for the New Testament, which I am still formatting. I am not really familiar with SAB. Would it offer any advantage for me in this contextÉ
Figured out that if I select menu “item” instead of “header” and link to the page it works. Thanks for helping.
Ah, yes. A header is just for decoration in the Contents Menu. Glad you found the problem.
