 * What is the difference between the Android app and the mobile web version of Wikipedia?

The Wikipedia App provides an optimized and streamlined experience for searching and reading Wikipedia content. Being a native app, it allows articles to load faster, and with less data usage. It also delivers a more responsive interface that is more consistent with other Android apps that you love. It adds features that are not available (or not possible) in the Web version of Wikipedia, such as saving pages to the device for later reading, and sharing content and images from articles to your favorite social media apps.

Of course, the app is still under development, and does not yet have some of the features that are available on the Wikipedia mobile website, such as watchlists, collections, and notifications.

The most recent changes to the app may be found in the Play Store listing for the app, or here.

サポートしているデバイスは?
このアプリはバージョン 2.3 (Gingerbread) 以降の Android で使えます.

2015年9月30日以降、バージョン 4.0 以前の Android 版のアプリについて、定期的なサポートはしません. 使っているデバイスが Android Gingerbread、HoneycombまたはIce Cream Sandwich の場合、今でも Play Store からアプリをダウンロードできますが、アプリは「凍結」したバージョンで一般にアップデートはされません. ただし重大なセキュリティーのパッチやアプリが落ちるバグを配布する可能性はあります. もちろん、Android 4.0.3 以上 (Ice Cream Sandwich MR1) に適したアプリを開発中です.

Androidのアプリではどんな機能を使えますか?
画面の上部の「ウィキペディアを検索」バーをタップ、検索したい言葉を入力. その後、検索の内容にしたがってアプリがヒットした記事をリストします. アプリは記事のタイトルと記事の内容にもとづいて検索し、最適な結果を示します.

 * ウィキペディアの言語を設定または変更

ウィキペディアのページ内から検索するには表示する言語は一つしか選べません. 規定ではアンドロイド端末に設定した言語が使われます. Wikipedia の言語を変更するには、アプリのメインメニュー (左上) から「さらに」 -> 「ウィキペディアの言語」へ進む.

右上のメニュー (点3 つ) から「ページ内を検索」を選択. テキストを入力して開いている記事から検索すると、画面がスクロールしてテキストを自動的に強調表示します.

記事の中の文章を長押しすると、その部分が強調表示されます. そのあとトップメニューから「コピー」または「シェア」を選べば、文章をクリップボードに写します. 「シェア」を選ぶと、選んだ記事を普通のテキストまたはイメージカードで保存できます. イメージカードは記事の中の写真にテキストをかぶせて表示します.
 * 興味を持ったことを SNS でシェアしませんか

右上のメニュー (点が3 つ) から「ページを保存」を選ぶと、オフラインでも後で読めるように、そのとき開いていたページを保存できます. アプリのメインメニュー (左上) から「保存したページ」を見ると、後で読もうと考えたページを探せます.
 * 保存したページ

アプリのメインメニュー (左上) から「この近く」を選ぶと、使用している機器の GPS 情報に基づき、ウィキペディアから近辺に関する記事を選べます. このアプリはいついかなる時もあなたの位置情報を追跡しません.

Offline reading and data
From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Save page" to save the current page for later reading. You will be able to access your saved pages by going to the main app menu (top left) and selecting "Saved pages", even when you're offline. No, currently we don't have this functionality. Unfortunately, if you delete the app's data your saved pages are gone. If your mobile carrier supports Wikipedia Zero, the app will automatically access Wikipedia for free, and it will notify you when you are within a Zero-rated network. If you do not see a notification about this in the app, you may be charged for accessing data from Wikipedia. Yes, we do track some of your actions. Sending usage reports can be deactivated by going to the "More" option of the left navigation menu, and unchecking the "Send usage reports" checkbox. Different data is collected, specifics of which can seen on the event logging page. For example, it records the average delay between typing a search term and receiving search results, or the number of times the Share button is clicked, or whether the font size was increased or decreased. This is all used to better understand user engagement, and guides us to improving and enhancing the features that the app offers. When you click Nearby, the app requests access to your geolocation data, and offers you a list of up to 50 articles that are within 10 kilometers of your location. Nearby doesn't track your location or store your geodata.

Readability and adjustments
From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Font and theme". This will allow you to increase or decrease the text size, as well as switch between a Light and Dark theme.
 * Can I change font size and background color?

Yes! When an audio clip appears inside an article, tap on the "Play" button to start playing the audio. When an article contains a video clip, tap on the video thumbnail to start playing the video.
 * Can I listen to media or watch videos on the app?

Download and bug reporting
Please do. Our repository is available on github. Please check details for contribution.
 * I am an Android developer, may I fork your app?

Can I download an APK version to install the Android app without a Google Play Store account?

APK files (for both the beta and stable versions of the app) are available on releases.wikimedia.org. Note that the app won't auto-update when installed this way.

Is the app available on F-Droid?

はい、2015年8月25日現在、F-Droid version を再度、更新しました.


 * Where do I report bugs?
 * If the app crashes, it will automatically display a dialog that asks you to specify what you were doing when the crash occurred. It will then automatically draft an email (in your preferred email app) that contains the report, which you can "send" when ready.
 * If you see another bug (and not a crash) or have a suggestion or feature request, you can send feedback [mailto:mobile-android-wikipedia@wikimedia.org here].

Security and Permissions
This permission is required so that the app can integrate with your user account on Wikipedia, so that your preferences and saved pages will be synchronized between devices when you are logged in. (This feature is currently under development.)
 * Why does the app need the Identity permission (GET_ACCOUNTS)?

The app does not store your Wikipedia login credentials on the device, and it does not access any non-Wikipedia accounts on your device, nor any other aspects of your identity.

This permission is only required in Android versions earlier than 6.0 (Marshmallow). For Android 6.0 and above, this permission is not required.

This permission is required for the app to find your current location when using the Nearby feature. (This permission is not required to use Nearby, but you will need to manually move your map to your current location if the permission is denied.)
 * Why does the app need the Location permission (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)?

This permission is required so that the app can temporarily save images for sharing via other apps (as in Share a fact).
 * Why does the app need the Photos/Media/Files permission (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?

This permission is only required for older Android releases.

Yes, all network traffic from the app is performed over HTTPS.
 * Is the connection between the app and Wikipedia encrypted?
