Kiwix-android: Search not working

Created on 23 Oct 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: kiwix/kiwix-android

Describe the bug
When clicking on a search result, the old page remains and nothing happens. (Clicking on a link on the starting page of wikipedia works fine.)

Expected behavior
The article which I just clicked on should appear.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download the German wikipedia without pictures, copy it to the android phone and open the content within kiwix.
  2. Type in a search query.
  3. Click on any result.

Screenshots
Nothing happens...

Environment

  • Version of Kiwix Android : 2.4 Build: 1182160
  • Device : Android Smartphone
  • OS version : 7.0 (Kernel version 3.18.22)

I could test the the 34 GB image and it works well. Nonetheless I prefer the smaller image without pictures. Do you have any idea how .zim files are created?

I ve exactly the same Problem, the APP is useless

This is a problem with that specific file, not the app. We are going to regenerate a new version soon. Sorry for the problem.

How long does it take? What is the process of regenerating like?

I see here (http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content/de) that the German wikipedia file with pictures was recently regenerated. However, this file is too large to save on my phone (34 GB). I can only use the smaller one without pictures (11 GB). So I cannot check whether the problem is solved (with the new file). Can anyone download the large file and check it please?
