Welcome to the aard2-android wiki!

Here are some basic instructions for the app. Mostly they are not neccessary, as Aard2 is nearly completely self-explaining.

Installation

You need to allow installation of "Unknown sources" if you want to install Aard2, e.g. see here: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-install-apps-outside-of-google-play/ Aard2 is not yet on Google Play, you have to install it from here (github).

After or even before the installation you need dictionaries of the newer type, slob-files. Without a dictionary Aard2 is useless. You can get dictionaries from: https://github.com/itkach/slob/wiki/Dictionaries

You can put them wherever you want, you can save them to your internal or, if available, external sd-card. Aard2 will find them.

Dictionaries

To use any dictionary, you first need to let them search through Aard2 to activate them. If you tap the 4. Tab, on the right top you will see a Sync-Icon, two circled arrows. You tap this button and wait till Aard2 searched through the whole sd-cards. Without any dictionary it will look like this: http://abload.de/img/clipboard-hp61000guao.jpg This can take a while, depending on your device and the size of your sd-cards. You will read:

Please wait Scanning device for dictionaries...

After the search you will have listed all your dictionaries in this window (4. tab), where you can disable or re-enable each dictionary, or you can delete it from the list (not from the sd-card!). You also can get information about the amount of items and the storage path of each dictionary file by tapping the arrow under the dictionary.

History

The history tab, the third one, shows all opened entries of all dictionaries.

The maximum ammount of entries is limited to hundred, same as the Favorites.

If you want to delete any, long tap on it and you can use the garbage-Icon to delete it. You also can check more entries or you tap the Checked-Icon beside the Garbage-Icon to check all and delete them.
