Building

The 48 MB bible.db is not stored here. Rebuild it with tools/build_db.py (sources: eBible.org USFM for KJV and WEB, scrollmapper bible_databases JSON for BSB, ASV, YLT and DRC, openscriptures Strong's, openbible.info cross references) into app/src/main/assets/bible.db. tools/textures.py regenerates the background textures.

Release builds need a vellum.keystore in the project root (not included in this repo). Then gradle assembleRelease.
