NB. This repository does not include the source code for GoBibleCore.

Go Bible is a free Bible viewer application for Java mobile phones, originally developed by Jolon Faichney.

Go Bible was officially adopted in 2008 by the CrossWire Bible Society.

Following the rapid growth of smart phones, apps like Go Bible for feature phones are now well past their peak popularity.

Go Bible is no longer being actively developed.

Introduction

GoBibleCore will create the core of an app for MIDP 2.0 cmpatible phones. It does not the Bible information per se, which is what you have to add using GoBibleCreator. GoBibleCreator will take GoBibleCore's output jar file and add the selected Bible books to that file. To do this both of them follow a specific format which is explained at https://github.com/DavidHaslam/GoBibleCore. The latest update includes section headings whih were not present before.

Section headings

Since November 2017 GoBible apps can also show section headings. This is currently only supported for USFM file formats.

USFM

GBC will parse \s, \s1, \s2 tags and pass them as headings to GoBibleCore.
