Obecné informace

 * Jaké jsou rozdíly mezi aplikací pro Android a mobilní webové verzí Wikipedie?

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.

Jaké funkce jsou k dispozici v aplikaci Android?

 * Prozkoumat zdroj

The home screen of the app now features a feed of recommended content for reading. Each "card" in the feed represents a single page, or a short list of pages, for you to read.
 * The types of cards you might find in the feed (depending on their language availability) include:
 * Ve zprávách: články o aktuálních událostech.
 * Populární: nejčastěji prohlížené články za tento den.
 * Nejlepší článek: dnešní doporučený článek na Wikipedii.
 * Obrázek dne: denní doporučený obrázek z Wikimedia Commons.
 * Continue reading: quick link back to reading an open article in one of your tabs.
 * Because you read: a short list of reading suggestions based on a recently-read article from your history.
 * On this day: events in history on this day.
 * Randomizer: opens a view which generates random articles to read.
 * Today on Wikipedia: opens the actual "Main Page" of Wikipedia.

If you don't want to see a particular card in the Explore feed, you can swipe any of the cards away to dismiss it.

Since version 2.7.221, there is also an option to "Customize the feed" that allows you to choose which types of cards to show, and show them in a preferred order.

The feed also includes a Search bar at the top for easy access to searching Wikipedia, along with voice-enabled functionality.

Tap the "Search Wikipedia" bar at the top, and type your search term. The app will give you a list of Wikipedia articles based on your search query. The app automatically searches articles based on their title, as well as their full text, to provide the best possible match.
 * Search for articles


 * Set/change Wikipedia language

Searching Wikipedia is performed only in a single language which, by default, is set to the language of your Android device. To change the Wikipedia language, go to the main app menu (top left) and select "More", then select "Wikipedia language".

From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Find in page". You will be able to type text to search within the current page, and the search results will be automatically highlighted and scrolled into view.
 * Search within page

From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Read in other languages". This will show a list of languages in which the current article is available for reading.
 * Read in different languages

When you long-press on the text within an article, you can highlight portions of the text, then use the buttons in the top menu to "copy" the selection to the clipboard, or "share" the selection. If you select "share", you will be able to share the selection as plain text, or an image card that contains the text printed on top of the most relevant image from the article.
 * Share interesting facts to social media

Do seznamů k přečtení můžete přidat stránky, která slouží jako druh záložky. Můžete mít více než jeden seznam k přečtení, abyste kategorizovali stránky v seznamu. Stránky uložené v seznamu jsou ve výchozím nastavení k dispozici offline, takže si je můžete později přečíst. Výchozí nastavení můžete vypnout individuálně pro každou stránku v seznamu k přečtení, pokud nechcete, aby byla dostupná offline. Budete mít přístup ke seznamům k přečtení ze spodní nabídky na domovské stránce aplikace (může se měnit s různými novými verzemi).
 * Seznamy k přečtení

Přejděte do hlavního menu v aplikaci a vyberte položku "Poblíž" a podívejte se na články Wikipedie o místech v okolí, které jsou založeny na poloze Vašeho zařízení pomocí čipu GPS. Vaší polohu neukládáme ani ji nesledujeme v průběhu času.
 * Poblíž

Klepnutím na ikonu "tužky" vedle záhlaví jednotlivých částí článku přejdete do editace stránky. Všimněte si, že články z Wikipedie jsou upravovány pomocí MediaWiki/cs formátování (anglicky).
 * Editace

Synchronizace seznamů k přečtení

 * Jsou uložené stránky synchronizovány s jinými zařízeními nebo prohlížeči pomocí účtu Wikipedie?
 * Funkce synchronizování seznamů k přečtení je dostupná od verze 2.7.232, která byla vydána 20. dubna 2018.


 * Jak mohu zapnout funkci synchronizovaní seznamů k přečtení?
 * Počínaje verzí 2.7.232 mohou uživatelé aplikací Android synchronizovat své seznamy k přečtení s jinými zařízeními Android, která vlastní, pokud tato zařízení používají nejnovější verzi aplikace Wikipedie pro Android a uživatel je do aplikace přihlášen v každém zařízení. (Pokud jsou uživatelé odhlášeni nebo pokud synchronizace není povolena, seznamy k přečtení budou uloženy pouze lokálně.)


 * Mám problémy se synchronizací. Co bych měl dělat?
 * Pokud máte potíže se synchronizací seznamů k přečtení, ujistěte se, že každé zařízení používá nejnovější verzi aplikace Wikipedie pro Android, že jste přihlášeni do aplikace v každém zařízení a že jste pro svůj účet povolili synchronizaci. (Synchronizaci můžete povolit prostřednictvím nabídky nastavení aplikace.)


 * Kdy bude k dispozici synchronizace seznamy k přečtení na jiných platformách?
 * Synchronizace seznamů k přečtení je k dispozici v systému Android, která podporuje synchronizaci s aplikací pro iOS (verze 5.8.0 a novější).

Offline čtení a data

 * Can I save articles for offline reading?
 * You will be able to save articles offline by adding them to a Reading list. Articles are made "Available offline" by default. You will be able to access Reading lists from the bottom menu in the App's home page (may change with different versions).


 * Mohu s vaší aplikací bezplatně přistupovat k Wikipedii?
 * Pokud váš mobilní operátor podporuje Wikipedia Zero, aplikace automaticky přistupuje k Wikipedii zdarma a upozorní vás, když se nacházíte v síti s Zero-rated. Pokud v aplikaci nevidíte oznámení o této skutečnosti, může vám být účtováno zpoplatnění přístupu k datům z Wikipedie.

Privacy and Data Sharing

 * Sleduje mě vaše aplikace? Používáte mé údaje?
 * Ano, sledujeme některé vaše akce. Sending usage reports can be deactivated by going to the "More" option of the left navigation menu, and unchecking the "Send usage reports" checkbox. We also have crash reporting to help us fix bugs. If a crash is detected, you will be prompted with the option to send us the crash report if you like. (Please say yes! It helps us a lot.) All collected data is anonymous.


 * What information does the usage report contain?
 * 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. We use a service called HockeyApp to report crashes in the Android application. When you choose to send us a crash (which we're immensely grateful for!), it tells us where in the code the crash originated from (the stack track across all active threads), and other diagnostic information such as the Android version and device type. This data cannot be used to personally identify you.

This is all used to better understand user engagement, and guides us to improving and enhancing the features that the app offers.
 * How does Nearby work?
 * 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

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

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?

Yes, as of August 25, 2015, there are updates to the F-Droid version again.


 * 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].

Editing
No. You can edit without creating a username or logging in, but note that your IP address will be associated with your edits, and will be visible to anyone who reads the page's history. Not yet. This is not yet supported in the app.
 * Do I have to be logged in to edit?
 * Can I upload pictures?
 * Can I view a page's history and talk pages?

Security and Permissions

 * Why does the app need the Identity permission (GET_ACCOUNTS)?
 * 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 Location permission (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)?
 * This permission is required for the app to find your current location when using the Nearby feature (displaying Wikipedia articles near your physical location). (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 Photos/Media/Files permission (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?
 * This permission is required because the app allows you to save images that you browse to your local device. It's also 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 Full Network Access permission (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)?
 * This permission is used by the app to determine the state and quality of your network connection, and adjust certain aspects of its performance accordingly (e.g. loading lower-quality versions of images when on a limited connection). This permission is also used by the app's Nearby feature, which checks the quality of your network connection to determine how aggressively it should load the graphical map tiles.


 * Why does the app need the Boot Completed permission (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED)?
 * The app allows you to make edits to articles, as well as to the Wikidata descriptions associated with the article titles. After making an edit, the app starts a background service that listens for notifications from the server. If another user reverts an edit that you made, or leaves a comment on your Talk page, you will receive a notification via the app on your device. And if you happen to restart your device, this service needs to launch automatically, so that it can continue listening for notifications (without needing you to start the app explicitly). This is why the app needs to receive an event when your device initially boots up.


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