Display definition when kanji is tapped (even if no Aedict3 installed) #1

Open nicolas-raoul opened 9 years ago

It would be great if I could see the definition of the kanji I just tapped. Your screenshot in the AnkiDroid forum shows hyperlinks but somehow I don't have them in the alpha program.

The links will only show up if you have aedict3 installed On 23/06/2015 12:21 pm, "Nicolas Raoul" notifications@github.com wrote:

Is there a different dictionary that you want to use for looking up the words?

nicolas-raoul commented 9 years ago

I am using the last open source version of Aedict. Since RikaiDroid already uses a web service, maybe retrieving the definition from a web service would be acceptable in case no compatible dictionary app is found installed?

Ah OK... I could easily support that actually; we even have some code in AnkiDroid for searching old Aedict. The dictionary data is really old though, so it's not great.

Web lookup fallback is also a good idea, thanks
