WikipOff

About

This app is an offline Wikipedia reader. Its purpose is to help anyone with a few Gb of space on their android storage to be always right in arguments, whether or not they have a dataplan.

WARNING

I am not:

  • an Android developer
  • a Java developer
  • a developer.

Everything here has mostly been written by copy-pasting code from stackoverflow.com and bashing ctrl-space shortcut in Eclipse.

Getting Started

  1. git clone https://github.com/conchyliculture/wikipoff.git
  2. Add project in eclipse
  3. Manage to make it work and compile and stuff
  4. Rage because it's a huge PIA to build anything from source in any of the hype IDEs.
  5. Download some already available wikis from the app, or Build one yourself.
  6. enjoy

License

GPLv3. Get it, hack it, compile it, share it.

Why

I was used to have WikiDroyd for winning arguments and to have something to read when I don't have my ebook reader. Unfortunately, the app isn't compatible with my ParanoidAndroid ROM without Gapps. There are tons of offline readers on Google Playstore, but not on F-Droid. I would have had to get the corresponding APK (some are 4Gb because they ship with the whole database...), test them, check if I could update my own DB, etc. It looked easier/funnier to make my own app.
