Ankiconnect Android
Ankiconnect Android allows you to utilize the standard Anki mining workflow on Android devices like phones and eReaders. Create Anki cards using Yomichan on Kiwi Browser and add them straight into your Anki deck! Mine on the go in the same way as you mine on your desktop pc.
Ankiconnect Android is a from scratch unofficial reimplementation of the desktop Ankiconnect extension. It reimplements their core APIs used by Yomichan to work with Ankidroid.
Instructions
Here's how to set everything up from scratch (if you've already got Yomichan working then skip to step 5):
-
Install Kiwi Browser and Ankidroid
-
Install Ankiconnect Android - Download
-
Start the Ankiconnect Android app, accept the permissions and hit start service
-
Set up the Yomichan extension in Kiwi Browser to your liking:
Import
1+ dictionaries by clickingConfigure installed and enabled dictionaries
and thenImport
underDictionaries
section (external resources)Scan modifier key
under theScanning
section should be "No Key" (unless using mouse/keyboard, advanced options contains more config options)Scan delay
under theScanning
section can feel laggy and so can be set to0
-
Set up Yomichan for sentence mining:
- Toggle
Enable Anki integration
on, underAnki
- Click on
Configure Anki card format
and choose the deck, model and field/values you desire - Ensure
Check for card duplicates
has been disabled (only visible underAdvanced
options) - For further custamisation you can write/modify the script under
Configure Anki card templates
- Toggle
Sections and Advanced options visible via the blue menu icon on the bottom right of the screen
Easier Yomichan setup: If you import settings from a computer, ensure that the bolded steps are still followed
Limitations
Because Ankiconnect Android is a small project with a limited scope, not all API queries/cases are implemented/considered. The only currently known breaking example is when duplicate card checks are enabled. Features like this with limited scope and which are easy to disable/avoid have been ignored for now (even though enabled in Yomichan by default).
