Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

Hi!

Very nice initiative, but neither of the 2 kiwidict versions (en and
ru) work on my phone (HTC One X, ICS 4.03)

Is Ice Cream Sandwich not supported?

Thanks

Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

Hi, Sebastien!

I have tested kiwidict at my "HTC Desire" and "HTC Wildfire" with
Android 2.3.7 Cyanogenmod.
Someday I hope to get phone or tablet with the Android 4.0, then I
will test it...

Best regards,
Andrew Krizhanovsky.

Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

Basically there seems to be a nullpointer exception related to the DB...
Did you test it in the emulator?

Thx

Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

The download of the dict doesnt work for me. It starts downloading 1 of 2
files, then immediately i see it is unzipping 1 of 2. Then the app closes
without crashing or an error.

Galaxy Note GT N7000 Android 4.0.3

Yes, I tested it. Emulator is too slow, so I uploaded debug version of
application from Eclipse to my phone.

Can you try to download .ZIP file manually?

The quote from the program description:

It is possible to download the dictionary file manually. Download
http://code.google.com/p/wikokit/downloads/detail?name=enwikt20111008_android_sqlite.7z
and unzip to SD card in the folder /kiwidict/ Then run application.

Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

I downloaded the data and the app now works.  It starts with lang 'xal' and
search term '_H%H' which confused me to begin with.  Indonesian is lang
'id_' the underscore shouldnt be there?? The interface is nice. Font size
of search results is a bit small; hard to pick the desired result.

Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

>> It starts with lang 'xal' and search term '_H%H' which confused me to begin with.

I made a random language code with several search request:

Several lines of source code:

    public static final TipsTeapot tip0= new TipsTeapot("", "en");
    public static final TipsTeapot tip1= new TipsTeapot("film%h", "de fr");
    public static final TipsTeapot tip2= new TipsTeapot("_н%н", "xal");
    public static final TipsTeapot tip3= new TipsTeapot("_yg%", "fr");
    public static final TipsTeapot tip4= new TipsTeapot("%æ%р%æ", "os");
    public static final TipsTeapot tip5= new TipsTeapot("% н", "uk");

It should show the possibility to use wildcard symbols % and _
and the possibility to search in different language codes at once, e.g. "de fr"
But if it looks strange, then I will remove it in the next version.

>> Indonesian is lang 'id_' the underscore shouldnt be there??

Yes, you are right,
 id_ here (instead of "id") because of the problems with names in
SQLite database.
See list of languages in the source code:
http://code.google.com/searchframe#nnQwlFITwiU/trunk/common_wiki/src/wikipedia/language/LanguageType.java&q=LanguageType.java%20package:wikokit\.googlecode\.com&sq=&ct=rc&cd=1

I should hide this problem with SQLite from the user :)

>> Font size of search results is a bit small; hard to pick the desired result.

Ok, I will increase it a little bit.

Re: English Wiktionary Android version - KiwiDict Offline Dictionary

It should start with the language the user selected for the phone.

I would also like it to help me use/learn a foriegn language. in my case
always show en and id, or make it easy to switch between those two.

With two features it could replace a lot of 'learn langX' apps.
1. Play audio of the word using recording on commons or text to speech
2. Sets/cats of words. E.g numbers and greetings/salutations

Ability to update/sync current page from witkt would be good.

OK. Latest selected languages in the beginning of the list of languages.

>> 1. Play audio of the word using recording on commons or text to speech
OK. I want to to use Wikimedia tarballs
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/imagedumps/tarballs/

>>  2. Sets/cats of words. E.g numbers and greetings/salutations
Categories of words?
OK. At this moment categories are not extracted from the Wiktionary.
In future, after audio... We cad do it.

>> It should start with the language the user selected for the phone.

Good Idea! I need to make some research - how to get this info in Android.

Just tested the version from Play on HTC One V with Android 4.0, and it
starts. I did not continue to download the 1GB though, no wi-fi at the
moment.
