Wonderful! It is already very usable despite some missing functionality and certainly much better than what was available before (I tried Zoo, Zotez and the Web Library). I haven't noticed any bugs yet but will report when I see any. This is the be…
-
Yes, please. The existing android apps zoo and zotez are so buggy that they are not much use, and are no longer maintained.
-
Thank you for your efforts. Eagerly awaiting the Android version...
-
Are there any news on the Android app?
-
@jiyapan Your add-on also sounds very interesting! Is it available for testing?
-
I have tried both add-ons (ARIA by @rabitai and Zotero-GPT by @polygon) and they are both very interesting. I want to give some feedback and hope that the developers find it useful. I don't want to be negative, it's really meant to point out issue…
-
@polygon Is there another way of opening the extension? On a German keyboard, there is no /? key and I can't find which key is supposed to be the shortcut, so I had to find a US keyboard. Also, is there some more documentation? I could not find out…

Any news on the Android App? It would be so useful...
-
@dstillman Thanks. Well, I was hoping for a somewhat less vague estimated time frame, but I understand you don't want to commit yourself yet. I'm just looking forward very much to it, as the lack of an Android app is the big (and only) issue with Z…
-
Is there a rough time frame for the Android app? I understand it's hard to say, but are you talking of a few months or several years here? This would help to know if I have to settle for some other solution, scripts or something for copying the fi…
-
Zoo works, but not very well. It does the basics, but the user interface is clumsy, it doesn't handle problems well (in particular when it wants to sync but there is no connection, or if an attachment is large). OK for emergencies (when you want to …
-
Is there a date when an Android version might become available? I've also been waiting and hoping... A mobile app is the key to be able to work when I'm not at my desk. I would've though Android has more priority than ios, given that some 85% of al…
-
Ah, thanks, ok, so Zotero uses ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list. Ubuntu uses ~/.config/mimeapps.lst and I thought that has been the common standard for desktop environments. I've now created a symbolic link from mimeapps.list to defaults.…
-
Also I think every item type should have a doi field. DOIs are not just for published articles but for any digital ressource.
-
Thanks for the reply. The individual identifier is like a page range, but the item type "presentation" does not have a page field. I know I can define additional information with the "extra" field, but then this is not used when I export the item…
-
How can I do a complete library resync? I just noticed the added support for tags, but I can't find any option to resync in the app. Does this require deleting the app data using the android system settings? Oh, and again thanks a lot for the app,…
-
I second the original suggestions from @kirk86 . I have quite a number of items that are individual volumes of a multi-volume book that all have the same title and author, only the "volume" field (and some of the years) is different. Particularly …
-
@michael29 I know that android restricts access the the SD card very much and you can only write to very specific directories, but many users will not know that and will not know what they have to set in the custom path and can't just put it anywhe…
-
Just to say a big thank you for creating this app. I've only found it so not yet much extensive testing but playing with it for a while it all seems to work nicely for my situation (library with about 12000 entries, my own webdav/nextcloud storage, …
-
@bwiernik thanks, that did exactly what I wanted!
-
This looks good, but I have a problem with the WebDAV. In the settings you ask for the root of the webDAV server. But my installation is actually in a subdirectory, like https://domain.tlp/owncloud If I just give the domain, it doesn't have a webdav…
-
@OniDaito when I looked into a similar problem with a different software, I found the Android developer guide very hard to understand on this issue. I think the developers don't really want apps to use removable media. Also, this all has changed sig…
-
@OniDaito Thanks, that works now as expected! Good Work!
-
@OniDaito File handling in Android seems very tricky, some other apps are struggling too... Perhaps you can make a version that logs in more details which directories or files it is trying to access and if they exist? The error message is very vagu…
-
@OniDaito thanks for the update. The changes to use zip files makes sense. But i have the problem now that ZotDroid downloads the same attachment again and again and doesn't recognise that it already has them. When i want to open a file that i dow…
-
First of all, thanks for your work! It's great to finally have an Android client that works and enables to use the library on the go. I've only installed it yesterday but so far I'm quite happy. I use my own webdav server (not the Zotero storage) an…
-
I have the same question. Two issues really: 1. The red lines are not just a cosmetic issue but make it really hard to read anything, so (even though I found the workaround) it should really be much easier or the default setting to disable them. 2…
-
@dstillman works in 5.0.7, thanks. And the language switcher is a great idea too for people who have to install it on office machines that are not one's preferred language. Great work!
-
Thanks for your good work. Experiences with 5.0 have been very good so far. It's a good decision to move to standalone version with a simple connector. Although the old browser plugin was easy to install, it did seem to freeze my browser occasional…
-
In 5.0, the info pane on the right picks up the correct locale format, but not the library list in the centre pane (when you show "modified date" in the list), where it remains m/d/y (7/23/2017 for today). When I set the locale manually to de-DE in…
