[FR] article words lookup #71

Open ildar opened 11 years ago

Right now any word in the article can be looked up this way: long tap on a word, then Share, then Aard (as per https://github.com/aarddict/android/issues/47) But that's not convenient:

  1. That doesn't work on Android < 3.0, too bad
  2. The path is too long (particularly share menu may be huge, big chance to mistake)

Anything can be done with it?

Too bad indeed. However, no new code will be added to specifically support old versions of Android, especially not for the stuff that works in new Android versions, like copy/paste.

Not really - Aard tends to come up at the top of alphabetical lists due to strategically selected name :)

The only thing that comes to mind is to add "Lookup" action to the system action bar that shows up when text is selected, although I'm not sure if there's an API to do that, need to research.

Btw in Russian locale Aard starts with Cyrillic А, so it comes after all English letters
