When I touch the dropdown arrow, I get all the libraries in Ontario from A to Z and I have to scroll through and hopefully stop at mine, which starts with "O". If I manage to get to it without opening another library or overshooting too many times. I press it and I get my saved library card number and PIN so I can actually log in. The whole point of starting this thread is that on my PC when I go to Ontario Library Service Download Centre, I get a dialog box where I just start to type in my library name and it takes me right to the actual login. The Vox browser, however, gives me some dumbed-down Android screen where I have to scroll through hundreds of libraries without launching the wrong one. That is what I wanted to get around, but I can't find a way.
Using your web browser on the vox navigate to the overdrive login page where your libraries are all listed. Then select your library from the dropdown and once it displays, but before entering your card number, copy the url.
Open Aldiko, open Stores, select Catalogs from the menu and tap the plus sign in the upper right corner
Name your library, paste the url into the url field and next time you select that catalogue, Aldiko will open at your library's login with only your card number to input.
I don't have an Ontario library card but I tried it with my sister-in-law's BC card (they have a similar dropdown) and it appears that this would solve your problem...
