Re: [Ankidroid] Adding new profile

[Flavio Lerda]

Hello Jorge,

On AnkiDroid it is not currently possible to switch between profiles.

So what you would like to do is not currently possible.

I do not believe there are any plans to support this, sorry!

I need to add two profiles (I have two sons and only one Galaxy S3).

I have a different account for each, but I can not find a way to create two accounts on android. Can anyone help?

Merry Christmas and thank you.

A workaround is to force your sons to use ankiweb instead of AnkiDroid. You can create as many different accounts as you want there.

Of course if you have a PC they can also use Anki Desktop there (which does support multiple profiles).

I was also happy because of my daugther, there are introduced profiles. Quite sadly I found out I cannot use it on the phone. She does not has her own and I do not have internet connection beside wifi. Thus we have to share same collection ...

This isn't too much of a problem as long as you study different decks. You could always ask her to put all her decks as subdecks in a single folder in order to minimize the clutter.

Alternatively if you have the technical skills, you could compile a separate version of AnkiDroid from source to simulate multiple profiles.

Or just buy a cheap Huawei Android device for her.

Hello,

I implemented the basic skeleton of profiles for AnkiDroid over the last few days.

This is not really something for users, but it can be used as a basis for actually implementing the feature.

It turns out to be quite simple actually :)

What I ended up doing is creating a script that changes the prefs file to point to different locations.

With that done and having different prefs point to different places in the SD card, profiles are basically working.

Currently, I use a shell script to move around the prefs files and restarting Anki (my phone is rooted).

The decks are stored under different directories within the external storage, and switching the preferences

is sufficient to switch profiles.

I think I will try to get this working for 2.1. It is very helpful for me because I often switch profiles on the

desktop to test changes and I do not want my real collection to be affected.

I filed an enhancement request for this and assigned it to myself:

Hello,

No, the implementation of this feature has not yet started, so there is no version where you can try this out.

At the moment, nobody is working on this, so I cannot give you an estimate of when it may be available for testing.

Most of the development on AnkiDroid is done by volunteers in their spare time, so it is usually hard to give estimates.

Thanks,

Flavio

Hi! I would like to start over completely - disregard my brother's old profile and start using mine on Ankidroid. I tried uninstalling and installing the app, but it's still signed in on his. Is there anything I can do? It's not like switching profiles, it's just with a new one.

Uninstalling does not delete the AnkiDroid directory that contains the data. You can delete the folder directly. Or, you can change AnkiWeb logins, and sync a different collection.
