As AnkiDroid 2.17 is being rolled out, we announce our largest change to date: AnkiDroid now directly includes and uses the same backend as Anki Desktop (23.12.1).

This change means our backend logic is guaranteed to exactly match Anki, be faster (written in Rust) and most importantly save AnkiDroid developers a massive amount of time: we no longer need to re-implement code which exists in Anki and if we make changes, we can contribute them back to Anki for the benefit of everyone.

We started this work in 2021, making incremental progress each release with 2.17 marking the completion of this project. Replacing a backend is always a complex and risky endeavor, but if we did things right, you’ll only see the upsides in the new release and you’ll feel the increase in our development velocity for years to come.

This is a <5 minute survey regarding certain changes to the AnkiDroid UI:

Both new users and experienced users are welcome to participate. People who don't use AnkiDroid but use desktop Anki or AnkiMobile are also welcome.

For those not aware the app had an issue that was making it so google would not allow new play store updates to be released until that was fixed.

The app has been getting continued alpha\betas updates since then, but never a stable release because of it. Now, it has finally happened: has finally been released, 2 years later than .

I'm just a regular user, but I've been following the github and I'm very excited that this has finally happened!!! Congratulations to all of the developers who worked on it.

Hi all! 2.17.6 is currently in beta, and should be live within the next 3-5 days assuming beta feedback is positive. This one removes the congratulations page. Other than that, mostly bugfixes.

The main changes for this release are in the .

2.18 is likely going to be the next release. We've made a lot of progress here and it's getting more difficult to backport bugfixes. Our new Previewers are looking sharp (preview: imgur.com/a/lTasdr0), and we're excited to get these out.

Thanks for using AnkiDroid,

David (on behalf of the AnkiDroid Open Source Team)

Hello guys

do you know when the stable AnkiDroid version 2.17 is going to be released? I'm of course not asking for an exact date, but rather for an approximation.

On Google Play store it says: " We're on 2.17 work already!" but it doesn't say when the release is.

Thank you guys!

So first thank you for all your hard work. I use AnkiDroid for an average of 30 plus minutes a day and it's been great.

Normally I don't run the alpha, but I'm excited for FSRS, so I decided to try it out.

Here's what I noticed....

1. AnkiDroid used to put the name of the deck in the top bar when the reviewing. Now there is no obvious way to tell the name of the deck. This is confusing, especially when reviewing a top deck with multiple sub-decks, where the answer you want is different depending on the sub-deck.

Can we add the name of the current deck back to the menu bar?

2) One of the best things about AnkiDroid is that in many ways it was better than Anki for iOS (and also better than Anki desktop).

But AnkiDroid is now much more similar to Anki iOS/anki Desktop, even when the iOS version and desktop version were worse.

Case in point, the statistics. AnkiDroid's version of stats is now the same as the iOS/desktop version, and it just isn't properly optimized for viewing on a phone (yes iOS users have to suffer with this, but we already had a better version).

I see two different paths we could take, one is to go back to the old version and add whatever stats are missing. Or we could take the current version and optimize it better for mobile viewing (zooming in each graph to fit the screen, etc).

In particular, I really liked the way on the previous AnkiDroid stats I could easily switch decks from the stats page to any other deck. Now I have to type in the deck name using the keyboard to do that.

3) Did we get rid of things like chess notation? I haven't used it, but I liked that it was in the options. Now I don't see it.

4) Did the percentage adjustment option when a card was marked wrong disappear? I used to have it set at 40 percent. Now I don't see the option anywhere, both with FSRS turned on and with it turned off.

I think there are a few more things I've forgotten but when I remember them I'll add them as comments.

Anyway, thanks for all your hard work.

And I really hope AnkiDroid will continue to try and be the best mobile Anki client, and will not turn into a clone of Anki iOS and/or Anki desktop.

That's it. After more than a year, a project that was started, I believe by Shridhar, we don't have a single java file anymore. All was migrated to Kotlin or deleted.

That won't affect any user; at best will save a little bit of weight on the app size, but probably not anything significant.

But for us, it's a huge milestone. At least for the reviewers, who will stop having to review translation (because we, collectively, had to re-read every single file. I personally found at least one error in the translation tool provided by Kotlin's creaton. And anyway, we could note where we could improve the code clarity)

AnkiDroid 2.15.0 is processing in the Play Store. Should be with you within the next 4 days.

Hey,

If you speak another language on top of English, please help us translate AnkiDroid. We'll update soon. We have a few new important message, and we would really love if those few sentences could be translated in as many language as possible, to really diminish the risk of people accidentally losing their data.

You can go on to do the translation, you have many hints on , and don't hesitate to ask question if you need help.

The important strings are all in the section 01-core.xml

Of course if you can translate more of it, that would be perfect, but I understand we all have limited time and so I'm offering you a way to prioritize

Hi everyone,

During the almost 2 years that I have been using Anki to learn Russian, I have been customizing and polishing my card templates to make the experience of reviewing them as pleasant as possible.

At this point, it came to my mind that I could share with the community some insights about how my template works and looks in case that it can give ideas for your own templates.

The main thing I should highlight though, is that this template is optimized for AnkiDroid and Russian as target language, which is what I use. For AnkiDesktop, this space distribution would be far from optimal.

Features

Color new vs other cards: When you study a card for the first time, the theme of the card is set to green color, instead of the typical blue color of all the other cards (examples 4 & 5).

Ease factor and bar: In the bottom right of the card, the ease factor is shown. This is reflected also as a bar in the bottom that can be more green, more red or non existing depending on the difficulty. (clearly visible in examples 2 & 3). Nowadays, I find this quite useful when I want to decide which button to choose (mainly if to use easy or hard).

Tags displaying: Tags are displayed as part of the card, aligned with the audio button. (In the example 1 see the tag "irrnoun").

Superindices for verb annotations: Since in russian you often need to learn about the verbs more than just the infinite (mainly if the stress is moving and if the verb is irregular), there is a field to represent this which is later on displayed as a superscript next to the verb (examples 4 & 5)

Conditional aligning: For the front and the back text, if it fits in one line it will be displayed with text align center, but if it is longer than one line it will be aligned to the left (example 2).

Example partitioning: In the examples field, I can list multiple phrases separated by ";" (e.g. this is my car;i like cars) and then they will be displayed as a list with dashes.

Linking to Wiktionary

Very often I want to check the word that I am reviewing in the dictionary. For example, if it is a verb to see the conjugation or if it is a noun to see its declensions. For that purpose, all the words of >3 chars in the cards have an hyperlink to Wiktionary. In the examples linked above, all text with color blue or green is an hyperlink.

Some features of this integration are:

- Verb prefixes: if you have the card (с)петь, then clicking in the "с" will redirect you to спеть.

- Adjective normalization: Since the dictionary usually only has an entry for the masculine, if it find a word ending in a non-masculine suffix like длинная, it will be redirected to the masculine длинный (there are exceptions to avoid falso positives).

- HTML focusing: Instead of just linking to the Wiktionary page, the link includes the #Russian suffix to make the page focus in the section of the page related to Russian.

FAQ

*> Why the card "box" is not resized based on the size of the context inside?*If the size of the box changes after every card, the transition between cards doesn't feel smooth since you feel some flickers. Thus, I decided to set a big minimum size. Nonetheless, it would become bigger if the text would occupy all the card.

Closing thoughts

Overall, I found very enjoyable the level of customization that Anki allows for card designs. The main issues I have faced are some differences between Anki and AnkiDroid, mainly the AnkiDroid JS API and how the HTML of cards is rendered, but my understanding is that they will converge more and more over time. Overall, huge thanks to all the devs behind Anki and AnkiDroid for your amazing work!

This is a pure rant. Because I lost almost half an hour on it and I can't keep it for myself.

This is the kind of bug that makes me almost wish I didn't know how to understand the code I read. Because, then I would not have noticed that two lines were abnormal, extremely certainly code smell, clearly not working as expected, and trying to figure out what is the consequence, and since when this bug has been present.

So. The issue is that when you export a deck from ankidroid, without exporting scheduling, no note should be marked as "leech". That makes perfect sense because after all, you can't have leech on a new collection!

Actually, what we did is that we ensured that the last note from your collection is not marked as leech. And we wanted to be so sure of that that we removed the tag "leech" from the last note as many time as you had note in your collection. If you had 100 000 notes, then we removed "leech" tag from your last note a hundred thousand times. We never touched the other notes; they could remain leeches. We just cared about the last one.

It is possible that the last one was not a leech. We don't care, we still remove the "leech" tag from the last note only.

This bug has been in AnkiDroid since 2015. I was not even using Anki then. So I can't know whether somebody noticed or reported it then. But since I started to contribute actively to AnkiDroid in 2020, I've never heard anybody even mentioning this bug. Which obviously, makes a lot of sense. Who in their right mind who export a deck from ankidroid without scheduling and check whether tags are all rights. Who even care about it. After all, it's just the tag "leech". The exported cards are not suspended, so as far as the importer is concerned, the card works as well as any other cards for them.

Obviously, the details are on , but honestly, don't go look at it, it really does not matter. It's the most pointless bug I've seen. We are doing a lot of work to improve ankidroid on many many other important points. This one was really just and only a rant

:

I just wanted to point out that today marks the 10th anniversary of the very first release of AnkiDroid!

On 28th June 2009, several years before I was involved in the project, Nicolas Raoul released the first version of AnkiDroid to the Google Play store with the help of Damien Elmes and several other volunteers. See his original blog post here:

Since then, more than 1 million users have installed AnkiDroid, more than 100 developers have volunteered their time and knowledge to contribute new features and bug fixes, and countless users have contributed by translating, testing, and reporting bugs.

To celebrate this occasion, we will be working hard to finally release the next version of AnkiDroid (v2.9) to the public, which has several big new features contributed by the community. For example my favourite new feature is "multi-select" in the card browser. Expect a beta version to be released over the coming days, and a full release within the next months.

More details on v2.9 will be shared in due course, but for now I just wanted to express my gratitude to Nicolas and everyone over the past 10+ years who has helped to make AnkiDroid one of the most successful open-source Android applications ever.

I read a while ago that AnkiDroid was being updated, not just through versions but for a fully new update, more similar to the desktop version. Is that so? What is the status?

BTW, thank you to all volunteers who make this app possible.

Thanks for using AnkiDroid,

David (on behalf of the AnkiDroid Open Source Team)

was last updated in July, last year on F-Droid, while they've kept releasing new versions on Github frequently. There's apparently an issue that keeps them from pushing an update on Play Store, but it has to do with the app's storage permission. I don't see why it would affect its F-Droid release.

This is a really experimental process and I don't know how it will go. If you know basic programming and is interested in figuring out how to apply it to create some anki add-on or improve ankidroid, and want to work with a dev' who knows those code base, please answer in this topic. We'll discuss what we'll work on depending on your interest. Since there are list of tasks that are for , we can start here. Or we can try to devise an add-on which may be helpful to you and see how you can create it.

I already a month ago, but the intern didn't have enough time, and so I decided to try again. I have 18 days of holiday starting Thursday, and if anybody else have plenty of free time (thank you lockdown) and find this idea interesting, I'll be happy to try to work together during those holidays. I also suspect that trying to make progress regularly on a short deadline scheduling.

To be clear, this is not an official internship recognized by any institution, and it's not paid. If you contribute to ankidroid you can probably ask for a little fund from or open collective, and that's it. The goal is simply to help you gain experience in working on a real software, that may well be used by thousands or millions or people around the world.

I've created quite a few for anki, cumulating 186 thousands downloads currently. I contributed to and code base and wrote some documentation and about them, so this is a topic I know quite well and I'm currently employed as a software engineer. However, I've no experience in having intern and we'll need to figure out the ropes.

My goal is not to teach programming, so I'd expect you to have at least a basic notions of either python (for anki add-ons) or java (for ankidroid). I.e. at least knowing what are conditionals, loops, dictionnary/map, lists/arrays, functions, classes. I don't expect you to already know anki(droid)'s internal.

If you're interested, please answer in this post, and let me know whether you've an idea what you want to work on, and what programming experience you've got.
