Hey guys,
At Campus Party Brasil 5, I was talking with Jessie and Kul about features for Mobile.
One think that Jessie suggest, is a plugin for browser, like Firefox Mobile, that you highlight a word and then click on search and it redirect to Wikipedia mobile, and if it's not installed yet, redirect to Market.
I've already make a browser addon yesterday: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/busca-wikipedia-pt/
I'm working now on it to make a configuration pop-up to selection the search language and how would like the search appears: (Pop-up, new window or new tab).

The wiktionary mobile project has a similar feature set up, allowing android users to highlight a word in any app, click on search, and have it redirect to the wiktionary app.

Ok, I'm gonna look the code and try to implement on Wikipedia Mobile :)
Thanks Amgine

See if you can build off of the existing code which notices a wikipedia url and sends you to the app. That already works just fine and people will love it :D

No extra code is needed - if you open a wikipedia URL from inside firefox, it should ask you for choice of application to open it with (including the official app) :) Android's open ended Intents system FTW!

I read this as highlighting *ANY* word and wanting it to open in the Wikipedia app regardless of wether its a link to wikipedia/facebook/twitter/blah/foo/bar

Yuvi,
But what we want to do is for example:
You are reading a e-book and highlight a word and then press this word and you can have the option to search for it on Wikipedia App.
