The Holy Quran - El Shmarly

The Holy Quran - El Shmarly ( 3.0)

The Holy Quran El Shmarly version will be released today due to the request of adding this version as an option for those who'd prefer reading it than Al Medina version. I haven't made any changes on my skeleton code, so everything is based on Al Median's version except the pages. If I noticed any issues I will try to fix it asap. Also, if you have any comments on any of my apps please let me know.

HOWEVER, many asked me to move the app itself, not the pages, to the SD Card to support froyo but NO, not now. Maybe your phone supports froyo but not everyone else. Until froyo supports all devices at then I'll upgrade my code to move to the entire app to the SD Card. Until then, pages will remain on the SD Card and the code will go the device memory.

[update] sorry i totally missed the idea that some users don't have the market on their devices. Here is the link to download http://uploading.com/files/7f4ee4e3/shamirly_cquran1.0.apk/

Q&A

Answers to some questions I received about The Holy Qura'an app

Q: Move2SD plz.

A: The app downloads pages to SD, those pages what make the size of the app so big and that's why I moved that entire folder to the SD card

[update] The app can be moved to the SD card now

Q: Could you add audio for some readers?

A: I would like to, but it would make the size of the app bigger than it is now. Also, there are already some other apps have that included. My app is an electronic version of the Holy Qura'an Book.

Q: Why wouldn't it be possible to allow orientation change (portrait and landscape)?
A: landscape would mess the entire view of the pages. Zoom is included to replace the need of having a portrait page that would become bigger (zoomed in) once orientation is switched to landscape.

[update] The app now supports landscape (Soras pages are supported. Main menu and everything else is not).

Update 3.2 - Aug 01, 2010

This update includes:

1. allowing moving the app to SD card for android 2.2 users. (MANY PEOPLE ASKED FOR THIS AND I WAS TRYING TO AVOID DOING IT, BUT I HAVE TO SATISFY THE USER. THEREFORE, YOU WILL NOTICE AN INCREASE IN THE SIZE OF THE APP, AND IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU INSTALL IT).

2. Soras can be viewed in both types of orientation.

3. missed pages, incomplete download or new upgrade shall continue automatically.

[update Aug 02]

4. Other files than Sora's pages such as img_tmp and hQBookmark are included in the files list of the gallery. So I had to make the list include ONLY Sora's pages and exclude any other files.

5. In this update I added a fix option that could be pressed to fix any errors in the pages order or anything unfamiliar

Hopefully this update will satisfy some users who asked many times for these functionalities :D

=====================

Upcoming update and last update(to be released tomorrow July 22 or 23) 3.1 - July 19,2010

OK, so I'll give you a glimpse of what I'm working on for the new update. Two major things:

1. adding a "jump to page" function

2. making pages more private and not interfering with your images folder

3. fix for that error you would get if something wrong happened during your initial run for the app.

Also, some updates for the bookmarking dialog box. Some people encountered a problem starting the app after the new update and that was caused by interrupting the download of the pages when it runs for the first time, I will try to fix this bug in this update or maybe in the next.

Stay tuned :D

=========================

Update 3.0 - July 13,2010

This is the new update and I believe it still needs some work to be done but I just decided to release it for now and leave fixing those small errors for a later update.

So when you update it you will notice downloading 265 new pages. These pages will substitute the old pages of the Holy Qura'an. Many people asked for the color version of it and here it is. PLEASE BE SURE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET BEFORE YOU START UPDATING OR YOU WILL HAVE MANY ISSUES .

Also, you will notice adding the menu to some pages which adds more interactivity with the user. Anyway, the bottom line, I hope you would enjoy this new update ;)

The Holy Quran - English version for android

Many people liked the app in Arabic and asked me if it's possible to add the English version of The Holy Quraan too. Guess what, it is possible and I would be happy to publish it for whoever need it in English. Just please, don't forget me and my mother in your prayers.

The demo should be on the market soon. You can run it and read but it needs to be tweaked here and there but at least it's functional.
