Welcome the Commons Android app's new maintainer, Ritika!
by Kaartic Sivaraam 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Hello all! I just wanted to take the time to introduce you to the new maintainer of the Commons Android app, Ritika Pahwa! Ritika started contributing to the Commons App via GSoC 2023. She has been actively contributing to the Commons app ever since. She also helped as a mentor for GSoC 2024. She has demonstrated the necessary commitment to maintain the application. I'm excited to see how she takes forward the app and help us sustain and grow the community 🙂 On some reflection, it's hard to believe it's already been 2 years since I took up the role of maintainer. I hope I've managed to keep the community alive and helped sustain the app so far. It was wonderful contributing to the app that I've long admired all along and I hope to continue contributing to it whenever possible. Thank you for all your valuable support along the way! It wouldn't have been possible without it ❣️ Here's to a great future of the app! -- Sivaraam

New mobile app start
by Test 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

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!

Commons app - v5.1 beta release and removal of limited connection mode
by Kaartic Sivaraam 10 Nov '24

10 Nov '24

Hello all, Hope you have been well! We have just released v5.1.0 of the Commons Android app to production. The update is now available on Play store (beta track) [1] and F-droid [2]. You could also build the app directly from our GitHub repository [3]. This release includes the improved upload queue that was specified in the previous release post. This was contributed by Kanahia during Google Summer of Code 2024[4]! He was mentored by Nicolas and Ritika. The new upload queue system ensures smoother, sequential processing and better progress tracking. It also provides more flexibility with managing your whole upload queue by allowing to pause / resume / cancel all ongoing uploads. With this enhancement, we have retired the "Limited Connection Mode". However, the new upload queue's pause provides flexibility similar to the old mode. We would love to hear any thoughts / concerns about this change. Other significant changes: - Fixed an UI issue where the 'Subcategories' and 'Parent Categories' tabs appeared blank in the Category Details screen. Resolved by optimizing view binding handling in the parent fragments. - Added an option in "Nearby" feature enabling users to provide feedback on Wikidata items. Users can report if an item doesn’t exist, is at a different location, or has other issues, with submissions tagged for easy tracking and updates. - Improved the "Nearby" feature by splitting the query into two parts for faster loading and better performance, especially in areas with dense amount of places. This update also resolves issues with pins overlapping place names. - Upgraded AGP and target/compile SDK to 34 and make necessary adjustments to the app such as adding "Partial Access" support. - Fixed an issue where editing depictions removed all other structured data from images. Now, only depictions are updated, preserving other associated data. - Fixed map centering in the image upload flow to use GPS EXIF tag location from pictures and ensured "Show in map app" accurately reflects this location. - Fixed navigation after uploading via Nearby by directing users to the Uploads activity instead of returning to Nearby, preventing confusion about needing to upload again. These are only a small chunk of all the changes that were part of this release. Checkout our release notes [3] for a more detailed set of changes since the last announcement. As always, feel free to reach our to us with your valuable feedback. You could share feedback in our talk page [5] / by writing an e-mail to commons-app-android(a)googlegroups.com / via our issue tracker [6].

Introducing Edit Patrol in the Wikipedia Android App
by Amal Ramadan 29 May '24

29 May '24

Hello all, The Mobile Apps team has recently released a new feature in the Android app to assist rollbackers in patrolling from their mobile device without leaving the Android app. Edit Patrol is a suggested edit that allows users with rollback rights to view the recent changes feed, with access to undo, rollback, thank, and post talk page messages. You can learn more about the feature and its development on our project page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandalism#>. Throughout development, we have continued to incorporate feedback from members of the community. We prioritized collaboration with communities that have traditionally had difficulty utilizing existing tools, specifically editors using mobile devices. After initial release, we heard requests to add access to user talk warning templates in the talk page message flow. Users are now able to search and use user talk warning templates as part of the tool. For languages that do not have user warning templates, the team reviewed messages across languages and created 10 example messages <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandalism/S…> that will be preloaded into the app. The feature is currently available to users with rollback rights based on the feedback we heard during development. However, if specific wikis are interested in making this tool more widely available on their wiki, it can be changed on a per-wiki basis. Please reach out on the discussion page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandal…> . Please check out this presentation <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edit_Patrol_Presentation_%26_Demo.p…> with more information, and a demonstration <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Edit_Patrol_Demo_-_Upda…> of the feature to learn more. If you have any questions or feedback, we welcome it on the project’s discussion page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Android/Anti_Vandal…>. Respectfully, *Amal Ramadan* (She\Her) Sr. Community Relations Specialist Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

As to the australian accent being recognized, we just piggy back on the speech-to-text services that are available in your device. If you already use any speech-to-text service that recognizes your accent well, the same should work fine for app's voice input feature too. If you notice any discrepancy, feel free to let us know :-) > Thank you and everyone thats working on it. > Thank you for the kind words! -- Sivaraam
