Allow the app to use external SD cards to store wiki databases

[logomancer]

I have the English wiki on my tablet's SD card because there's more space there than the internal storage. However, WikipOff doesn't check there for databases. It would be nice if there was a way to designate a different directory for wikis.

App is supposed to select only "external" storage. Unfortunately certain devices report internal storage as "external". I've already built a beta release: https://github.com/conchyliculture/wikipoff/releases/tag/beta1 where you can select the device for storage, but I can't test it (the app on AVD emulated devices always use the sdcard). Shouldn't crash too much, but I'd advise you to cleanly uninstall your current version & its data before insalling that release =)

Crash here when tapping on "Settings"

hehe "lolcat". I've made some changes, still can't test on a devices that has multiple "external storages". New build is here: https://github.com/conchyliculture/wikipoff/releases/tag/beta2 Could you try it?

[nikonakoneko]

It doesn't crash anymore, but it shows internal SD card as the only option but I don't see anything abnormal in the logs.

I have a few xposed modules to force usage of /extSdCard I don't know if they may conflict with your settings though.

[conchyliculture]

shoot... Could you send me the result of a cat /proc/mount from the adb shell?

I'm also having this issue with 0.2. I'll clone the repo and build the beta2 tag above.

[conchyliculture]

did you try https://github.com/conchyliculture/wikipoff/releases/tag/beta3 ?

[Frenzie]

Beta 3 seemed to be working after changing the storage location setting, but the download just disappeared into nothing after it finished, even though I could watch it grow in the file manager. I tested with the EU Wiki due to its comparatively modest size. However, if I download the file manually and put it in the right location it does work.

Fixed as of release v0.3.0
