Anki-Android

Thank you!! E-waste is awful, as is cutting off old devices. We still backport security fixes to minSdk 21. To Google's credit, post-21 is a much more pleasant experience and requires very little developer time. API desugaring[0] has worked perfectly, their compatibility classes[1] handle most of the common cases, and there's often very little to actually code[2].

We define our API into the Rust via protobufs[0] and some codegen. The wrapper around these is very lean, FFI-based[1], it's abstracted to a library so Android devs never need to know there's rust/codegen involved. We then define a light Kotlin-based wrapper around the protobuf-generated API[2]. This is a candidate to move to Kotlin multiplatform in the near future (mostly for test speed improvements).

Hey, could you put in an issue, especially regarding the pain points, but also including what 'seems unusual': https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android It's mostly due to time/resource/technical constraints [some of our strings come from a shared backend], but we can do better here, especially if there's now a lot more community interest in the feature. Pull requests welcome! Do feel free to get in touch on the issue/Discord.

I'm co-maintaining an open source Android app (primarily Kotlin, with Svelte & Rust). I'd be happy to mentor in 2026. Feel free to get in touch if you're interested: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/blob/main/CONTRIBU...

Hi Lee, We have 4 levels of integration: * Some apps which integrate with AnkiDroid via our Content Provider based API (see [0]). This integrates with the Android permissions system, but you may also disable all integrations in the AnkiDroid Advanced Settings. AnkiConnect support (REST API) can also be enabled using a third party app. * System Context Menu (ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT): Selecting text in most apps should provide an 'Anki Card' option in the context menu. This may need to be enabled in AnkiDroid: Settings - General. This may also need to be enabled on your system (system dependent: long press text in an app, expand the context menu to 'more items' and select 'Manage Apps') * Android Share Menu: Select text and select 'Share', this enables use of our 'Instant Note Editor' for cloze deletions, as well as our standard 'Add Note' scre

Thanks! That is on my roadmap. I need to extract the notes form the database(sqlite)[0] from the zip file and process it along with the many media files it can contain. Right now this is a TUI and will have limited media capabilities. [0] https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Database-Stru...

It's fine for MIT work. The Anki database format is still pretty opaque, despite a few efforts over the years, and it would be great to open some of this this up to allow apps to export apkgs It doesn't help that our wiki is noindexed by GitHub: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Database-Stru...

> Unfortunately Anki doesn't have a proper API and isn't easy to reverse engineer Tried any of the below? AnkiConnect (HTTP API): https://git.foosoft.net/alex/anki-connect Rust: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/tree/main/rslib via Protobuf: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/tree/main/proto/anki Rough DB Schema (outdated, but sufficient): https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Database-Stru...

https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/14423 Looks like a bug with AnkiDroid and different Android versions (if the app was installed on a prior version of Android and Android was upgraded). Some workarounds in that thread.

AnkiDroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.ichi2.anki/ Privacy Policy: https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Privacy-Polic... From the F-Droid description: Opt-in synchronization uses the non-free AnkiWeb service by default, but this can be changed in the settings to use, for example, an instance of the unofficial Anki Sync Server). Opt-in / off-by-default crash reporting will send data to a private / AnkiDroid open source team controlled crash reporting server if enabled. This data is only used to help fix crash bugs. Opt-in / off-by-default analytics will send data to Google Analytics via an an open-source implementation of the analytics API if enabled. This data is only used to focus developer efforts on popular features.

Pleco: Settings - Flashcards - Flashcard System - select AnkiDroid I believe the wiki[0] lists most of the apps which use our API https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/wiki/Third-Party-A...

Stable on AnkiMobile, available in the AnkiDroid 2.17 alpha: * https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/releases/ (Parallel.A) * OR: https://ankidroid.org/#alphaTesting
