Android app to explorer Wikipedia, Wikidata and other projects of the Wikimedia universe

WikiExplorer Android application (beta)

Find objects around you powered by Wikidata SPARQL queries

How it works

The app uses the location of the device to find Wikidata items nearby. It is driven by SPARQL queries defined that are defined here. It is easily possible to add new queries.

Todo

Features

• Allow login to Wikidata
• Notification actions as links from query
• UI i18n selector
• Wikidata facts
• Auto filter from queries
• Dismiss notification
• Notification content intent preferences

Code improvements

• UI i18n

wikiexplorer's Issues

Load all strings from resource files

To improve the code and enable i18n all strings should be loaded from resources files (/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml).

To support RTL placeholders should be used instead of concatenation.

Please carefully read:

Add translate Wiki intregration

Add translate Wiki integration to get translations from the project in many languages.

2 bugs (or i don't know well enough yet how to work with the app)

hee Jonas,
as i said via the email, great work on this app!!
2-3 bugs, or perhaps it is just that i don't know well yet how to work with the app:

1. when i turn on "being able to edit" i do not see anything changing in the app. Where am i able to edit when i check this?
2. the notifications: i've turned them on to see what happens, and i see the notification message by Wikiexplorer in my notification bar, but i do net get any notifications about Wikidata items... Is this function working already>?
3. when i used the notifications, my battery drained really quickly, could have been an coincidence. I'll try again today to confirm.
   I'm using wiki explorer on the /e/ version (a privacy-safe, open-source OS) of Android Pie on a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016)
   best, and keep up the good work on this app!!
   Rik

feature-request: Plug-in for Osmand

Can this be somehow integrated into the Osmand app?

Wikipedia links are already part of the offline database managed by the Osmand mobile app. Wikidata links could potentially be added as well if this is not yet the case. This would allow to implement such a feature without active online connection. :)

Project dead?

I noticed it hasn't been updated since 2019. And the Google play store link isn't working anymore either
