Title: Support for "coloured display" ?
Post by: Gert on 09. March 2012, 15:35:23
Excellent application :) :)

One question: would it be possible that the Android application also supports the coloured display ? Some dictionaries support colours for pronunciation sections or similar; would that be possible that Android shows colours there, too ?

With very best regards,
Gert

Thanks Gert! :)

In theory coloured display should work, ie. it's implemented (http://dictionarymid.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dictionarymid/tags/Android_0_90_1_release/Android/src/de/kugihan/dictionaryformids/hmi_android/view_helper/SingleTranslationViewHelper.java?revision=473&view=markup). But I have to admit I never tried it with a real dictionary  :-\

Can you provide me with a dictionary that uses that feature? I'll investigate that matter... Do some of the OTA dictionaries have coloured content?

Cheers,
Achim

QuoteDo some of the OTA dictionaries have coloured content?

For example:
- EngChi (CEDICT)
- EngGer (freedict)

Give it a try with release 0.91 (http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=386.0)... Hope it works now :)

Achim,

I did install the latest version and tried to have the coloured display. But I guess that I need some further instructions on how to activate the coloured display.

To me it seems that the 'from language' is one colour and the 'to language' is another colour. But I do not see different colours for pronunciation etc.

I tested with CEDICT and Freedict English-German.

Attached is a screenshot from the WebApp which shows colouring on CEDICT. I could not make a screenshot from Android (to my understanding screenshots cannot be made easily on non-rooted 2.3 Androids).

Best regards,
Gert
