Hello all, So it's been a while since I've posted here. The tl;dr version - I've stopped working on ZotDroid as Zoo-tero does a very good job and has added the features I was working on. So I figure it's time to move on. Longer version - I started…

Hello @Fred_A . My first thought would be that PDFs might not be associated with a program but android would probably ask you the first time you try. I'll take a look at it, see if I can reproduce that error. I'm still working away on the beta vers…
-
@arnen yes, I suppose if you are using some sort of local DB and not doing anything with Zotero itself then I guess you don't communicate with the outside world at all. It's not a use-case I've ever come across really. It's unlikely I'll be adding t…
-
@heurrevex thanks! I'll look into it - not sure how that will work for me but we'll see. At the moment I'm looking into adding more features and removing the bugs - making the UX different. I've started a beta branch I'll run past people who are in…
-
@heurrevex not yet. If you know of a good store that isn't google, please let me know and I'll look into it.

Several folks have asked me to support http. This is something I won't do as it's a massive security hole. Given that letsencrypt exists, everyone can now get a valid certificate for free, and even paid ones are about $5 a year. I'd suggest talkin…

It looks like it does a bit more than ZotDroid but relies on a third party thing maybe? Not sure. I'll take a closer look but it seems that two-way sync is the real killer functionality we need.
-
this one? https://zotez2.ezbio.net/ Looks pretty good! :) If it does more than ZotDroid then maybe thats the one to use?
-
Hello folks! Quick update for you all. I've started work on a beta branch of zotdroid. I was looking over the sourcecode and it's pretty clear there is a lot of cruft in there. It needs a damn good clean! Because I added lots of extra features quic…

Hello @Markt2017 Search needs a bit of an overhaul really. At the moment it's a bit slow, non-interactive and only searches titles and authors. I'd like to do more but next on the list is syncing back modified PDFs. Once I've done that (almost there…
-
Actually, I notice there is a .prop file as well. Presumably we need to read this in order to get the version number, then increment this by one and write it back? B

Question for the Zotero developers. I'm close to getting sync working but I've hit a snag. What happens if we are using personal webdav? I'm wondering about this because I can't find where this lives in the API documentary? I suspect the answer i…

Hello all. Quick update - I've just released version 1.2.3. This makes a couple of changes to the database, which means a short upgrade step on your next sync. This adds a few more features to attachments such as proper MD5 sums in order to get read…
-
Hello @Pettigrew Thanks for getting in touch. I've got PDF uploading and ordering as things to do next. The latter is mostly a UX issue, but PDF uploading is a bit more serious. At least the required data is now being recorded. Hmmm, if you have …
-
Hi @richard.masters Thanks for letting me know! I think I'm partially responsible there because I should alter the test webdav fucntion. It merely checks a webdav directory can be browsed - it doesn't go all the way and download an attachment and u…
-
Hello all. I've just pushed v1.2.1 Main features are more fields for each record. Also the first steps have been taken regarding uploading altered PDFs - storage of the MD5 sums and dates. I'm hoping to get some sort of comparison working next, t…
-
@henge oh dear. Again, I'm having a lot of trouble replicating these errors at the moment. Hopefully, during the usual cleanup between versions, I'll catch it.
-
@hari1 I think you can get a refund if it's not right for you - at least that was my belief - through the google store. If not I need to set that if I can. I've had that option when I've bought things. To move to the external card, you can set the …
-
@richard.masters hmmmm. I can't see why Zotdroid would quit in the middle of a download like that. Maybe if you'd run out of disk space perhaps but I doubt that. I wonder if pCloud has some strangeness to it? Again unlikely. I suspect I'll need to …
-
Hi @richard.masters Just looking back through the thread - you are using the personal webdav right? Which provider are you using? It sounds like the zip files are being downloaded but not unzipped correctly. I've managed to get Android 9 running an…
-
@richard.masters I've run a few tests on a couple of real devices and simulated ones and I've not been able to reproduce your problem. A reinstall might be the easiest thing at this point while I work on cleaning up the code a bit more. By any chanc…
-
@dstillman thanks for that. I think this might be the next feature to add. I think folks really seem to want it. @j.j.l. Not clear what it might be. Never seen a sync quit like that before. Likely there is a crash of somekind. Which Android version…
-
Hi Richard You've hit the nail on the head - sync is hard! :S One of the hardest really because of timing and risk. However, I suspect the Zotero devs have solved this and I can jump on their method to save myself some headaches. I'll delve a litt…
-
Hi Richard No, we don't have annotations being fed back but I think this needs to be the next feature as lots of people have asked for it. Perhaps the Zotero developers can help me here? Does Zotero automatically sync back PDF attachments if they…
-
Hello Richard Sorry to here you've been having trouble. I've not had issues on my simulated or real devices (finally! I got myself an Android phone I can test with!). I did notice a couple of times that, for some reason, adb wanted to remove the ol…
-
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've worked on ZotDroid. A lot has happened in the intervening months, including an awful lot of travel. I've just released version 1.2.0. Here is the important top level bit for these using personal webdav:…

Hello there Using the default preference widgets in Android is quite un-userfriendly for this. Ideally a tree like directory structure should appear but such a widget doesn't exist in the standard Android toolkit which is a damn shame, and a bit of …
-
@dmhowcroft that is already possible for the PDFs and the database. You can select a different location in the settings under general options. @stephen_chignell that should already be possible too, but at the moment, I need to consider how to conso…
-
Hi @ysgard - thanks! I'm glad it works right for you. Thank-you for the kind words. I have a real problem with planned obsolescence; there is nothing at all stopping the majority of older machines running this stuff. I mean, many additional featur…

Hello everyone! Long time no see! I've started a PhD having passed my MRes (yaaaaay.... I think :/ ). More low paid programming and research work ;) But anyway... v1.1.10 is now out. It's only a minor release but it fixes a few bugs, adds the expe…
