Help for praying the christian Holy Rosary

Current functionality

This is a very simple app helping christian users to pray the Rosary. It basically shows biblical texts for the mysteries in an ordered way, and simulate beads to count Hail Mary prayers. Currently, it supports English and Spanish language. The texts come from vatican.va.

Development

This is just an HTML page with a background and some CSS layers and Javascript. The Cordova framework has been used in order to generate an Android project that can be built to produce an APK from the HTML page. The required files generated by Cordova have been uploaded, so building the app does not require Cordova installation.

Build

Application can be built using gradle.

To generate the apk :

gradle build

How to use a Rosary

Following from issue #3 it might be useful to have a "how to" use rosary.

Thank you for making this available in f-droid.

GUI Suggestions

OK, I was going to create an issue for each suggestion, but that would crowd github so I thought put them all here:

1.In each decade, there should be an "Our Father" bead
2.Also, after each decade there should be "next" button to go from the first decade to the second and so on (giving it a continuity felling)
3.I would also recommend concentrating the Hail Mary beads either on the right side or on the left - since the user will probably be using just one hand.
4.there is also the other 1 Our Father +3 Hail Mary+1 Our Father prayers that should be included as well as the Salve Regina.
5.upon opening would be nice for the user to have a choice between praying a Decade, a Third or the Complete Rosary

Naturally, these are just suggestions :)
You already done a terrific job

Translations

I would like to translate the app to Portuguese.

Is there a place such as transifex or weblate where i can do it?
