Android App
===========
Installation
------------
OpenLP gives you the ability to control your service from an Android based smart
phone. The following tutorial will describe how to download, install and use the
application. For this example we will be using the HTC Incredible. Other Android
phones may vary slightly in appearance and installation.
Click the screen button on the phone to bring up the start menu for "All apps"
and scroll to and select :guilabel:`Market`.
.. image:: pics/droid_all_apps.png
Once selected you will be taken to the Market main screen. Click on the
magnifying glass on the top right and type in :kbd:`openlp` and select it.
.. image:: pics/droid_find.png
Once selected this screen will appear and you will select OpenLP.

Click on :guilabel:`Install`
.. image:: pics/droid_install.png
The next page shows the Permissions you will need to accept to continue the
download. Click on :guilabel:`Accept & download`.
.. image:: pics/droid_accept.png
The downloading progress bar will appear verifying you are downloading the app.
.. image:: pics/droid_downloading.png
Once the install is complete you will see a window where you can :guilabel:`Open`
OpenLP for use. You will also find the OpenLP icon in your application menu.

Android application settings
----------------------------
Server
^^^^^^
After the installation is complete and you open the OpenLP Android application
you will need to enter the setup information.
.. image:: pics/droid_configure.png
The first step is to configure the server settings you will use with your phone.
You can find these instructions and settings here: :ref:`remote_tab`.
**Note:** To use the Android application you will need to be on the same
wireless network as the main computer.
Select the :guilabel:`Server` button and enter the :guilabel:`Serve on IP address`
found in :ref:`remote_tab`. After entering the IP address in the box select
:guilabel:`OK`
.. image:: pics/droid_server.png
The next step is to enter the port number. Select :guilabel:`Port`. Use the
:guilabel:`Port number` found in :ref:`remote_tab` and enter it in the box.
After entering the port number select :guilabel:`OK`.

Custom Timeout
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In general the OpenLP Android application will work fine without having to
change the custom timeout settings. If you experience connection issues or are
having trouble staying connected, you can change these settings. Select the box
next to :guilabel:`Enable Custom Timeouts`.
.. image:: pics/droid_connection.png
Connection Timeout
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are having trouble connecting please double check your settings first and
be sure you did not type any extra characters or spaces. If your settings are
correct and you are still having trouble, you can increase the
:guilabel:`Connection Timeout` settings and try again.
.. image:: pics/droid_connection_timeout.png
Socket Timeout
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are having trouble maintaining a connection you can increase the timeout
settings here.
.. image:: pics/droid_socket_timeout.png
When you are happy with your settings you can press the back button on your
phone to check for connection. Make sure OpenLP is running on the main computer.
If you were successful in your setup you will see the OpenLP application running.
If you need to change or adjust your settings you can always press your menu
button on your phone while OpenLP is running and selecting :guilabel:`Settings`
and it will take you back to the configuration screen.

Display Blank Type
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Using the display blank type gives you the ability to blank your screen to the
methods described below. You can find out more about this feature and how it
operates on the main computer at :ref:`blank_control`.
**Screen:**
Choosing this option will blank your projector to black as if it were shut
off.
**Theme:**
Choosing this option will show your blank theme only, without lyrics or
verses. If you are blanking a song with an assigned theme it will blank to
that theme. If no theme is assigned or you are blanking a presentation or
image, it will blank to the global theme.
**Desktop:**
Choosing this option will show your desktop wallpaper or a program that you
have open on the extended monitor or projector. You can seamlessly switch
between one program and OpenLP by Blank to Desktop.
Using OpenLP Android Application
--------------------------------
Service
^^^^^^^
After you have completed the setup you will be on the main page with the
:guilabel:`Service` button highlighted on top and your service items showing
below it. Selecting any item in the service will immediately take it live onto
the projection screen. You can also move up and down through the service items
using the :guilabel:`Previous` and :guilabel:`Next` buttons as shown below.
.. image:: pics/droid_service.png
Slide
^^^^^
If you selected a service item with multiple verses or images you must select
:guilabel:`Slide` at the top to change them. You can change verses or images by
either selecting them with your finger or using the :guilabel:`Previous` and
:guilabel:`Next` buttons.
.. image:: pics/droid_slide.png
When you are finished with your verses you must click on :guilabel:`Service` to
select the next item you want to display.
Misc
^^^^
Selecting the :guilabel:`Misc` button at the top will give you the ability to
blank and unblank your projection screen from your chosen method above or send
an Alert message.
.. image:: pics/droid_misc.png
The title :guilabel:`Blank display to` means your display is live. Touching the
:guilabel:`Blank display to` will blank the projection screen to the chosen
method defined in Settings and the button will change to
:guilabel:`Reset display from`. Touching it again will cycle back to
:guilabel:`Blank display to` unblanking the screen for the live display.
Alert
^^^^^
You can send an alert to the projection screen by entering the text in the box
and clicking on :guilabel:`Send`. The alert will be displayed as you have
it configured in :ref:`configure_alerts`.
Search
------
Using the search function gives you the ability to search for a particular media,
add it to the service or display it immediately.
To use search press your menu button (as described above) on your phone while
OpenLP is running and select :guilabel:`Search` and it will take you to the
search screen.
.. image:: pics/droid_search_all1.png
Enter the text you want to search for in the text box at the top. For this
example we are using the search word "Jesus". You can click the magnifying glass
next to the text box or press the return on your phone keyboard. You will be
presented with a list of media in which your search word was found.
**Note:** When searching Bibles media you must enter the exact name, chapter,
verse or verses. Searching songs will search titles and lyrics with the text
used.
This screen shows the number of instances your searched text is found.
.. image:: pics/droid_found1.png
As you can see in the example, there are 130 songs with the word "Jesus" in them.
You can scroll through the list of songs until you find the one you want.
.. image:: pics/droid_found_select1.png
Click on :guilabel:`Add to Service` to add your media to the bottom of the
:ref:`creating_service`. Click on :guilabel:`Send Live` to immediately display
your media on the projection screen.
..image:: pics/droid_found_add1.png
When you have completed your search you must press the back button on your phone
to return to the main screen.
