Alkitab is the Indonesian word for the Bible.

Bible translations/versions

This app natively uses .yes files for the Bible text. You can create a .yes file easily by preparing a plain text file. See this page for instructions.

You can also convert PalmBible+ PDB files using the built-in converter in the app for your own use.

Tools for converting PalmBible+ PDB files to .yet files, and from .yet files to .yes files and internal app files, are available at in this folder.

Customizing and Integrating

Bible for Android is not only open-source, but also designed in a flexible manner. You can:

• Create and distribute your own Bible translation
• Create and make publicly available your favorite Song Book
• Create and publish a Reading Plan
• Open specific verses from your app
• Make your own app that gives further insight regarding specific verses callable by Alkitab / Quick Bible

See the Developer page for more information.

Building

The main app module is :Alkitab. For local development, the supported open-source build is the plain flavor.

Build a debug APK:

./gradlew assemblePlainDebug

Build a debug App Bundle:

./gradlew bundlePlainDebug

Run the unit tests used in CI:

./gradlew testPlainDebugUnitTest testPlainReleaseUnitTest

Notes

• The repository already contains placeholder data in Alkitab/src/main/assets/internal, so the open-source plainDebug build works out of the box once the Android SDK and NDK are installed.
• Release packaging uses ybuild.sh, which expects signing environment variables and ALKITAB_PROPRIETARY_DIR for proprietary overlay resources. That path is intended for project maintainers and is not required for the normal open-source debug build.
• Product flavors currently include plain, yuku_alkitab, yuku_quick_bible, and sabda_alkitab.
