Informasi umum

 * Apa perbedaannya antara aplikasi Android dengan versi web seluler dari Wikipedia?

Aplikasi Wikipedia memberikan pengalaman yang dioptimalkan dan efisien untuk mencari dan membaca konten Wikipedia. Menjadi aplikasi mandiri, memungkinkan untuk memuat artikel dengan lebih cepat, dan dengan penggunaan data yang sedikit. Hal ini juga memberikan antarmuka yang lebih responsif yang lebih konsisten dengan aplikasi Android lain yang Anda sukai. Ini menambahkan fitur yang tidak tersedia (atau tidak mungkin) dalam versi Web dari Wikipedia, seperti menyimpan halaman ke perangkat untuk dibaca nanti, dan berbagi konten dan gambar dari artikel ke aplikasi media sosial kesukaan Anda.

Tentunya, aplikasi ini masih dalam tahap pengembangan, dan belum memiliki beberapa fitur yang tersedia di situs web seluler Wikipedia, seperti daftar pantauan, koleksi, dan pemberitahuan.

Perubahan yang terbaru dari aplikasi dapat ditemukan di daftar aplikasi Play Store, atau di sini.

 * Siapa yang mengembangkan aplikasi Android?

Perangkat apakah yang didukung?
Aplikasi kami bekerja di semua perangkat Android yang menjalankan versi 2.3 (Gingerbread) dan lebih tinggi.

Sejak 30 September 2015, kami telah mengakhiri dukungan aplikasi pada perangkat Android versi 4.0 dan lebih lama. Jika Anda memiliki perangkat yang menjalankan Android Gingerbread, Honeycomb, atau Ice Cream Sandwich, Anda masih bisa memasang aplikasi tersebut di Play Store, tapi itu akan menjadi versi "beku" dari aplikasi, dan tidak akan lagi menerima pemutakhiran, dengan kemungkinan pengecualian dari patch keamanan penting sesekali atau kekutu kerusakan. Kami akan, tentunya, melanjutkan pengembangan aktif dari aplikasi tersebut untuk perangkat dengan Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich MR1) dan lebih tinggi.

Fitur apa saja yang tersedia di aplikasi Android?

 * Umpan jelajah

Halaman utama aplikasi sekarang memberikan umpan konten yang disarankan untuk dibaca. Setiap "kartu" di umpan tersebut menggambarkan halaman, atau daftar pendek halaman, untuk dibaca oleh Anda. Jenis kartu yang mungkin Anda temukan di umpan termasuk:


 * Dalam berita: artikel tentang peristiwa saat ini.
 * Artikel yang lagi ngetren: artikel yang paling banyak dikunjungi pada hari ini (berdasarkan jumlah penayangan total).
 * Artikel pilihan: artikel pilihan hari ini di Wikipedia.
 * Gambar pilihan: gambar pilihan hari ini dari Wikimedia Commons.
 * Lanjutkan membaca: sebuah pengingat untuk melanjutkan membaca sebuah artikel dari riwayat penjelajahan Anda (disimpan secara lokal di perangkat Anda).
 * Karena Anda membaca: sebuah daftar pendek yang berisi saran bacaan yang berdasarkan artikel yang dibaca baru-baru ini dari riwayat Anda.
 * Artikel sembarang: untuk membaca artikel yang dipilih secara acak.
 * Hari ini di Wikipedia: membuka "Halaman Utama" yang sebenarnya dari Wikipedia.

Jika Anda tidak ingin melihat kartu tertentu di umpan Jelajah, Anda dapat menggesek salah satu kartu untuk menyingkirkannya.

Umpan tersebut juga termasuk bilah Penelusuran di bagian atas untuk memudahkan akses untuk mencari Wikipedia, bersama dengan fungsi suara-aktif.

Ketuk bilah "Telusuri Wikipedia" di bagian atas, dan ketik istilah pencarian Anda. Aplikasi ini akan memberikan Anda daftar artikel Wikipedia yang berdasarkan istilah pencarian Anda. Aplikasi ini secara otomatis mencari artikel berdasarkan judulnya, serta teks penuhnya, untuk memberikan hasil yang cocok.
 * Cari artikel


 * Atur/ubah bahasa Wikipedia

Mencari Wikipedia dilakukan hanya dalam satu bahasa yang, secara bawaan, diatur ke bahasa perangkat Android Anda. Untuk mengubah bahasa Wikipedia, pergi ke menu aplikasi utama (kiri atas) dan pilih "Lainnya", lalu pilih "Bahasa Wikipedia".

Dari menu di kanan-atas (tiga titik), pilih "Cari di halaman". Anda akan dapat mengetik teks untuk mencari di dalam halaman saat ini, dan hasil pencarian akan secara otomatis disorot dan digulir ke tampilan.
 * Cari di dalam halaman

Dari menu di kanan-atas (tiga titik), pilih "Baca dalam bahasa lain". Ini akan menampilkan daftar bahasa di mana artikel saat ini tersedia untuk dibaca.
 * Baca dalam bahasa yang berbeda

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

From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Save page" to save the current page for later reading, even when you're offline. You will be able to access your saved pages by going to the main app menu (top left) and selecting "Saved pages".
 * Saved pages

Go to the main app menu (top left) and select "Nearby" to see Wikipedia articles about places near you, based on the GPS location of your device. We do not store or track your location over time.
 * Nearby

Tap on the "pencil" icon next to section headings in an article to start editing. Note that Wikipedia articles are formatted using MediaWiki formatting.

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?

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
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 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 Photos/Media/Files permission (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?

This permission is only required for older Android releases.

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 Full Network Access permission (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)?

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