This is a release candidate for 0.4, which introduces custom dictionary support for those compatible with Yomichan. The dictionary tested to function for this build is Shinmeikai. As this is the initial rollout of this feature, please report back and make a GitHub issue if there are any huge inconsistencies (e.g. definition lookups you are unhappy with, glaring issues overlooked) you find with this feature.

0.4.2 includes a hotfix in regards to storage permission which prevented users below Android 11 from exporting to AnkiDroid.

(Android 11 users) Please download the APK specified to you below suffixed android_11. From now on, Android 10 users and below and Android 11 users will be provided separate downloads. More details on how the changes to scoped storage is affecting the development of this app will be added later onwards. Also, please do not forget to read how to set up the required workaround required to export files on Android 11.

0.4-pre

  • (New Feature) Implemented Japanese-Japanese dictionary support for custom Yomichan format dictionaries.
  • Users may now import subtitles directly during video playback via the menu.
  • Added a new option for users to force the clipboard query to use Jisho.org instead of a custom dictionary.
  • Fixed an issue from 0.3.2, where the file cache increased as more videos were played.
  • Changed the shape of alert dialogs to fit a more consistent aesthetic.
  • (0.4.1) Made the floating dictionary scrollable in case a definition is too lengthy.
  • (0.4.1) Allowed text selection of floating dictionary to allow for recursive lookups.
  • (0.4.2) Fixed an oversight which prevented users below Android 11 from exporting to AnkiDroid.

Using a custom dictionary

This is very outdated information. Legacy dictionary support is long gone and replaced with the more polished Yomichan dictionary support implemented in 0.24 and with a much more straightforward import option. This guide exists for historical and archival purposes.

  • Take all of the term_bank_ JSON files in your dictionary archive and place them in the storage/emulated/0/com.lrorpilla.jidoujisho/files folder.
  • For users who are using this above 14.0, the term bank directory is storage/emulated/0/jidoujisho by default and can be set in the main menu.
  • Restart the application and you are ready to use your custom dictionary.
  • You may continue to use Jisho.org queries in the More (...) menu under the new option, Call Jisho.org Instant Dictionary. If you have a custom dictionary, by default you will use it.
  • Note that the application still requires use of Jisho.org. This pre-parses the current context (i.e. checking if it is a verb conjugation of a dictionary form) before performing the search on your custom dictionary. This ensures the accuracy and relevancy of the search.
