Minibook with bookmark

Post by jorgecaballero » Wed Dec 19, 2012 6:58 am

I am creating small books for mobile, Android and IOS but I want to bookmark for readers to continue reading later,
anyone have an example or something that can help me?

Thanks, I await your response.

I did that for my apps ("Triste vie de bureau" and "L'ile du B") on iPad
1) Use a save.txt file for example in your documents folder with all relevant info in it, updated when you quit or suspend your app, so that on openstack you can read it and reset parameters, bookmarks to the last used
2) Internally maintain (as in iBooks) a card with bookmarks, when the user wants to create one and be able to go back there later.

Thanks for your answer,

I am a beginner, I hope you have some example that can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

As I'm doing, is I put text fragments in different stacks and to move between them using buttons,
tell me if you have a better way to make a little book for Android and iPhone and also able to use bookmarks.

I have a project of short stories with my daughter and I want to see it come true.

a hug.
