Feature request: dictionary grouping #4

Open AntonGut opened 8 years ago

Hello and thanks for a nice dictionary app! I have written a feature request in playstore, but here is probably a beter place for it.

I currently have dictionaries for 10 languages, over 50 in total. (I like to have them while travelling). To manage them as a plain list is inconvenient. Perfectly I'd like to have some kind of dictionary manager, with search and filters. But I would be happy with any sort of dictionary grouping.

I imagine, it should be relatively easy to allow putting dictionaries in subfolders of Qdict/dicts, and use folder names for grouping.

I.e. Qdict/dicts/Eng/ with 3 dicts Qdict/dicts/Ger/ with 5 dicts would create two expandable items "Eng" and "Ger" in dictionary list, with 3 and 5 subitems respectively.

I will try to look into this myself, but I've never done any coding for android, so it will take some time.

Thank @AntonGut: Your idea is very good, I will consider more time to update this feature.
