MarkText for Android v0.2.1 — a small update focused on calmer, more reliable editing.
What's improved
Caret movement no longer makes the page jump. Tapping a line that is already visible leaves the viewport where it is. If the line is partly clipped at the top or bottom, the editor reveals it with a short, minimal scroll. Enter, undo, redo, and structural edits still keep the caret comfortably on screen.
The keyboard stays dismissed. After closing the keyboard with Back, opening the toolbar, changing its panel, or using other navigation controls no longer brings it straight back. Formatting and edit commands still restore the keyboard when they need it.
Selections are more dependable. Rapid double- and triple-taps no longer let an older Android selection cleanup replace the newer word or paragraph selection.
More useful document stats. Line counts now describe written content rather than Markdown's separator lines, while blank lines inside fenced code blocks still count. The expanded toolbar also shows the word count for the current selection.
Smaller fixes. Update checks no longer depend on GitHub's low unauthenticated API limit, which makes them work more reliably on VPNs and shared networks. The Open page no longer shows a duplicate “Browse all” route, and the About-page icons have been cleaned up.
Upgrade
Install over v0.2.0. The signing certificate is unchanged, so the app upgrades in place and keeps your documents, drafts, settings, and connected accounts.
Install
Download marktext-android-v0.2.1.apk and open it to install. Requires Android 7.0 (API 24) or newer and a reasonably current Android System WebView (Chromium 111+).
Known limits
- New OneDrive documents are capped at 4 MB for now; opening and editing existing large documents is unaffected.
- The Google Drive folder picker cannot select the My Drive root; pick a folder inside it.
- Cloud documents cannot be renamed from inside the app yet.
Notes
Feedback and issues are welcome. Built on MarkText's open-source Muya editor core (MIT).

Full diff: v0.2.0...v0.2.1
MarkText for Android v0.2.1 —— 这是一次偏向日常编辑体验的小更新。
改进内容
点击光标时,页面不再来回跳动。 点击已经完整显示的文字时,页面保持不动;如果目标行只露出一部分,编辑器只做一次短而轻的滚动,把它完整显示出来。回车、撤销、重做和结构编辑仍会把光标维持在舒适的可见范围内。
收起的键盘不会被工具栏重新叫回来。 使用返回键收起键盘后,展开或切换工具栏面板等导航操作不再让键盘立刻弹出。粗体、撤销等实际编辑命令需要输入时,仍会正常恢复光标和键盘。
选区更稳定。 快速双击或三击选择单词、段落时,较早发起的 Android 选区清理不再覆盖刚刚形成的新选区。
文档统计更贴近实际内容。 行数不再把 Markdown 块之间的分隔空行算进去,但代码围栏内真正存在的空行仍会计数。展开工具栏后,也会显示当前选区的字数。
其他修正。 更新检查不再依赖 GitHub 较低的匿名 API 配额,在 VPN 和共享网络下更可靠;“打开”页移除了功能重复的“浏览全部”入口;“关于”页的图标也重新整理过。
升级
可以直接覆盖安装 v0.2.0。签名证书没有变化,文档、草稿、设置和已连接账号都会保留。
安装
下载 marktext-android-v0.2.1.apk 并打开安装。要求 Android 7.0(API 24)及以上,并需要较新的 Android System WebView(Chromium 111+)。
已知限制
- OneDrive 新建文档暂限 4 MB;打开与编辑已有的大文档不受影响。
- Google Drive 的文件夹选择器无法选中“我的云端硬盘”根目录,需要选择其中的文件夹。
- 云端文档暂不支持在应用内重命名。
