There's a small, experimental update to TiddlyFox that is designed to make it work in Firefox for Android. I don't have access to an Android device to test it, so I'd be very grateful if anyone can give it a go and report back here.

To install the latest version of TiddlyFox, visit this URL in Firefox:


Many thanks to Anacletus on GitHub for contributing this fix.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Works fine for me with latest firefox mobile (17.0) on android 4.1.1.
Thanks  a lot for this work.

Still one problem, the same as in the PC version : the backup file displays � for each non ascii character.

Gosh, well I think that's a vote for Mozilla's cunning and foresight: an extension system that's fully compatible between mobile and desktop is a pretty stunning achievement.

Ah, OK, that makes sense, I'll explore further,

Best wishes

Yes, saving works for me as well, in Android 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 (with FF beta 18.0 and TW 2.6.6), thanks!

Hi Jeremy,

Seems that the pb on android and FF 17 mobile is quite the same as in this thread :
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tiddlywiki/Xtgz3qKkpqg/discussion

The backup file is indeed encoded in ISO-8859-15.
When I change the encoding to ISO-8859-15 by the Firefox menu the display is OK.

Jeremy,

This works Brilliantly on my Android Xoom Tablet. using a plugin packed 2.6.6 this is the first time It has been usable on a mobile device for me (Other than simple tiddlywikis).

TiddlyWiki has now stretched its wings further - great work.

Hope you all have a wonderful festive season.

So great a news! Saving works fine on my Asus TF101. I was always hoping that TiddlyFox can work on Android because AntTidWiki uses built-in WebKit core, which is not as modern as Firefox.

Thanks Jeremy! Merry Christmas!
