Hi All I'd like to write an Android app for my wiki. To start with, log me in. Opt in: show notifications from the Echo. Then opt in: show notifications from recent changes (it is tiny wiki, so not too many). Could you please guide me? Some hello world example would be great. I previously asked on wiki and was told that infrastructure for push notifications is missing, but nobody told me how to set it up. This would be my first Android app. I am "gry" on IRC. Thanks!

28 Sep '25

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce that v6.0.2 is now live! Update the app today to get all the latest improvements and fixes. What's new? 🚀 - The app now supports Android 15 with an improved user interface - Enhanced Nearby with robust and more reliable labels - Addressed a bug that prevented the keyboard from appearing in various text fields, such as on the upload wizard - Links in the "File usages" list are now clickable and will take you to the correct page. - Titles for file usages are now clearer and easier to understand - Bug fixes and stability improvements We sincerely apologise for the recent issues with several flows of the app. Please upgrade to the latest version in case you're experiencing issues with Nearby, Explore, Peer review or while uploading images. On that note, we’d like to give a huge shout-out to our Outreachy intern, Sonal Yadav, who is behind many of the recent enhancements to the Nearby. You can read about her internship experience here: https://outreachyweek13.hashnode.dev/wrapping-up-my-outreachy-internship. She tackled several issues during her stint, and you can see her contributions here: https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20s…. Feel free to test the latest changes and report any issues you face with v6.0.2 at https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues. Thank you Best, Ritika

[Apps] Wikipedia Android app to drop support for Lollipop
by Dmitry Brant 18 Sep '25

18 Sep '25

Hi everyone, The current release of the Wikipedia Android app will be the last to support Android 5 (Lollipop, API 22, 21) and earlier. Starting with our next release, roughly two weeks from now, all updates will require Android 6 (Marshmallow, API 23) or newer. Note that devices running Android 5 will still be able to obtain the app from the Google Play Store <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia>; but it will simply be "frozen" at the current version, and will no longer receive updates. As always, in addition to the Play Store, you can find the app on F-Droid <https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.wikipedia/>, or download it <https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/wikipedia/stable/> manually. Best -- Dmitry Brant Lead Software Engineer (Android) Wikimedia Foundation https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_mobile_engineering
