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. cd wikipoff
  3. export ANDROID_HOME=<path/to/sdk>; export PATH=<path/to/gradle-2.2.1/bin>:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH
  4. gradle installDebug
  5. Download some already available wikis from the app, or Build one yourself.
  6. enjoy

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.
