kiwix-android VS karel

Thanks for checking that. So it seems like we have an issue with UTF8 search for mutli-byte character sets. I've opened this issue on GitHub to investigate further: Search appears to be broken with Chinese characters (possibly all UTF-8 multibyte characters).

Either way the previous version still works. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/releases/tag/3.8.0

Looking further it looks like 3.6.0 used to be on f-droid https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiwix/comments/wxaf88/kiwixandroid_360_available_on_fdroid_major_fix/ but was pulled all the way back to 2.4 due to containing non FOSS. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/30910 which looks like isn't slated to be fixed until 3.7.0

https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android haven’t been there for a few years now but happy with what I did and taught. Introduced kotlin to a pure java environment and it was so much better every time

Kiwix (version 3.6.0): Offline Wikipedia reader

https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/blob/develop/core/src/main/java/org/kiwix/kiwixmobile/core/extensions/CursorExtensions.kt ah good it is still there, haven’t been on the project in years

Never had such a problem with my Pixel4 but I would totally suggest you open a ticket on github describing the issue.

It's a known issue and should be fixed with the next release, but feel free to open a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues

That's an unusual issue - would you mind opening a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues ? (basically indicate the Android version, device, Kiwix version, etc. so we can try and reproduce)

There are dozens of Karel clones. Mine is still maintained, but it requires installing Java: https://github.com/fredoverflow/karel

I found it https://github.com/fredoverflow/karel

https://github.com/fredoverflow/karel – a simple teaching environment for imperative programming basics

In a similar vein: Karel The Robot

Allow me to add one thing to this: Learning programming is great but the start with a "normal", complex programming language can be really frustrating and overwhelming. To get a good start without learning the syntax of a big language I highly recommend the Robot Karol/Karel Tools. It gives you a really good base of knowledge and if you get into it you will learn really fast how the most programming languages work. If someone is already familiar with the basics its okay to start with a normal language but I learned programming with this in school and I think its also great for people who want to learn it. Not only kids.
