Android question. Add patent by identifier?

atnoir

How to add a patent properly on Android? There seems to be no identifier to input?
Thanks.

Maybe not completely Android-specific, I don't think you can add a patent by identifier to Zotero on any platform.
The proper entry method is certainly to search for the patent on Espacenet, Google Patents or another supported site and capture it from your browser.

Thanks. But that won't be possible on Android for it can't capture patents from browser.

Is this really not possible (yet)? According to this thread https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/470889#Comment_470889 it seems to be supported.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support and it won't do so, as the dev pointed out.

Right - I missed a few things in the explanation, indeed. I stand corrected.

So if you are really only using Android, I guess the only option here is a 100% manual entry, unfortunately.

I guess that's it. Thanks anyway for providing such an informative discussion link.
