Pei Bible App

Overview

Baibel provides Bible Translations and Media to remote users where there may be no wifi or internet service. The app functions completely offline and uses no external API or http requests.

All the data is bundled statically with the app -- .mp3 audio files, and html for reading. Currently this app has only been tested and optimized for Android.

Setup

1. Make sure you have the react-native CLI installed globally

2. then cd to the root of the project, and run

npm i

3. Give that some time to run, and then edit the files at android/... gradle.properties and local.properties
   You have to have the java SDK and JRE all set up correctly.

4. Now, you can run the following command

react-native run-android

You'll have to address any errors you get here before moving ahead.

Compile Audio and Books

1. Create a static directory in the root of the project.

2. Make sure there is an empty directory called raw at android/app/src/main/res

3. Copy your listen and read files into the static directory made in Step 1. (The structure should resemble below)

4. Run the compilation script. node generate-app-data.js. If you have issues running ensure your node version is 12.15.0. This will compile your assets into the proper directories and formats to be consumed by the app.

5. Next either run the app for development or generate an apk file.

To Generate an APK

1. Ensure you have latest version of android studio installed.
2. cd into the android folder.
3. Run ./gradlew assembleRelease. The APK will exist in the following folder.

GitHub Action to create apk

I'm not sure familiar with an React Native/Android tooling but you might be able to have GitHub build the apk and even publish a release (on this git repo) via GitHub Actions.

Here are some resources:

• GitHub Action documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows#creating-a-workflow-file
