How can we get the dictionaries without a Google account? #508

moshpirit commented 8 years ago

I'm starting to use this wonderful keyboard but because I'm running away from Google. When I try to download the dicts the search is done on F-droid and find nothing. I would love to have an alternative to manually download it from a website (or this repository) and a HOW TO install them.

Thanks a lot and nice job! I'm exited to know about the next update!

Please upload the dictionaries onto F-Droid. Thanks!

As workaround, https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?

Still using Google JavaScript, which may reveal lot of information

Are the sources for the HK dictionaries anywhere?

ghost commented 8 years ago

@marmistrz I think https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/blob/master/dictionaries/sample.xml is the closest we will get right now.

FWIW, the available dictionaries didn't work for me in a custom CM 13.

@kehugter That's the example source but how to compile it to the binary format used by the apks?

ghost commented 8 years ago

No idea. This file contains some clues https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/blob/9ffd863841a9481c576e4370ebe5114aea6c6b06/java/src/org/pocketworkstation/pckeyboard/PluginManager.java

I wonder if distributing the dictionaries in binary form is necessary. Importing raw XML would make the maintenance, fork-ability and usage much simpler.
